I think a lot of it will depend on JD. If he really likes it here (close to Alabama) and the other guys (seems like it) then I can see them working something out.

The Braves are not going to extend JD before offering a QO. Not unless it is at a discount which JD won’t do. Why would the Braves give JD and extension when they know they will have clear advantage in off season negotiations because they won’t lose a pick if they sign him.
Coppy
Window just opening - no way AA signs JD for multi year with our ****bag payroll handcuffs
There is always high end older talent available for 1-2 year deals.
Donaldson. Keuchel. Grandal. Moose. All excellent players who just signed for a single season.
We’ve seen several instances now where AA was willing to pay top dollar over the short term to bring in an impact player at a position of need. I expect that to be the general strategy moving forward, considering it has lead to 2 very successful seasons.

Think we can dream of a situation where we sign both Grandal and JD?
Now that would be a damn deep lineup...

A deep run in the playoffs could definitely bring in extra money. Not sure if that would help payroll but I’d assume so. JD definitely won’t be signing a 1 year deal but if we somehow signed both then wow.
