4/104 isnt horrible APY wise, could probably even move JD in that final year if it's a 10-14 mil cap hit. If thats indeed true.

maybe the gnats signing Harris and Castro suggests that they have moved on from JDOriginally Posted by thethe

Since JD is giving the Braves a 25% discount, that means another team offered him 4/138.
JD is a helluva guy to pass up $34M just to play for the Braves!
That's what it would seem to indicate. They didn't want to go over the cap this year
Rosenthal said it doesnt take them out of the running from JD, FWIW.
This is from Ken's latest article, confirms Braves are at 4 years.
Donaldson, 34, reportedly is mulling four-year offers from the Nationals, Braves and Twins. He has informed teams of his desired guarantee and is simply waiting for one of the clubs to hit his number, sources say. That number is believed to be in the $110 million range.
No viable alternative to Donaldson remains on the free-agent market; outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Nick Castellanos, the other top position players available, are lesser defenders and less accomplished hitters. Thus, Donaldson is in position to wait for the deal he wants, similar to the way Bryce Harper and Manny Machado waited until February to sign last offseason.
Where did the 25% discount come from? Not doubting you, just curious how legit that rumor really is.
Tone leads me to believe it came from here and he's mocking someone's post.

If we’re willing to go 4/104 and he wants 4/110 just split the difference and give him 4/107 and be done with this ordeal. The 3 million over the 4 years is only an additional 750k per year.
Our resident lifetime member of the Internet Baseball Writers Association. Probably closer to a 20% discount though I guess.
Still, JD passing up $130M+ to sign with the Braves for $104M is quite the bargain!

I don’t see AA waiting until February to fill 3b. To many other options could be off the table by then. Bc once Bryant’s grievance is settled more teams will pivot towards him. I still think Arenado could be a strong target if the money is right.
I like Arenado most if they eat money and Arenado waives his opt out clause of some kind. Obviously depends what players go the Rockies way too.
I think most JD offers are in the 4/90 to 105 mil range or so. If he got 4/130+, he'd sign already.
If we're at 4-100, just give him 4-110 if it keeps him away from the Nats.
Funny thing about that - you honestly believe anyone here gives a *hit.
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
Apparently you didn't have to read to be a famous D1 baseball player - your precious quote says "unless" the other teams go to $100 million, no?
They did, so AA has to pony up. The only person who ever suggested a player was/is willing to give a 20% discount is you.

According to your own words you were a walk-on that never even practiced for the team. What's the truth, bud?
When someone busts out the “you don’t know anything because you never played” line, they do, in fact, care.
Looking shakyyyyy babyyyyyy
Lol my stalker emerges from the weeds after months of no posts.
How exactly does a walk-on not practice with the team, genius?
