Who is this guy? Not familiar.

[bravesfanMatt]

18.6 per? Seems step doesn’t it. Not sure I am buying this yet

[Hudson2]

No way we would pay that much for him.

[Hudson2]

I’d do 3/36 though.

[Oklahomabrave]

Gabe Burns is refuting it. Think I jumped the gun

I wouldnt be surprised if we do sign him, but we better not touch that number. Dude seems like a Braves player lol he and JTR would be a legit get though

[Enscheff]

I could get on board with a Marwin signing, but not for $56m

Eduardo Escobar went for 3/27, which was one of the better signings this offseason. Gonzalez should go for something similar, maybe a little more.

Is there a scenario where AA could swap Camargo plus for Kluber and then sign Gonzalez? Not sure we have the available cash for that?

[Jay212033]

Am I missing something? Why would the Braves go after Gonzalez when they basically have a younger cheaper version of him in Camargo?

[Freshmaker]

I think there's some merit to it because it would give us a ton of flexibility. If you have two guys that can play multiple positions it gives you all sorts of lineup and pinch hitting options

Agree. I don’t see anything wrong with two super subs who both switch hit. Might not be the best option for LF but might not be as bad as resigning Neck.

kind of like the Dodgers having Kike Hernandez and Chris Taylor

or the Cubs having Happ and Zobrist

Scared the crap out of me. Was coming here to post that Marwin the is a prime candidate to be one of those players who forgets how to hit when he joins the Braves, hits around the Melvin line and we regret the signing 2 months in.
