Braves sign Travis D’Arnaud

[Freshmaker]

For 2/$16M

Guess we’re “set” at catcher

[CrimeDog247]

I like it.

[brian22]

Solid

[Tapate50]

Like that. Seemed to put it together last season.

[GovClintonTyree]

Not as good framing as he was earlier in his career, but still a slight positive. Solid if healthy.

[Heyward]

Was thinking they'd go for Castro but solid pickup. SP, 3B, maybe cOF left to fill.

[nsacpi]

I know chosen one has been lobbying hard for the bravos to sign a filipino-american

[Freshmaker]

But we have Acuna, Ender, Muk and Duvall

[Freshmaker]

[Enscheff]

I think I would have preferred to see Castro platooned with Flowers, but getting arguably the best FA catcher still available on a very affordable contract is hard to argue with.

Payroll is now at $110M with holes at 3B, probably 1 SP, and possibly a RHH cOF. Just adding JD for $25M per might be all she wrote for 2020.

Love it. Hell of an off-season thus far

Braves putting out their signings from the team site, AA works in the dark.

[GovClintonTyree]

Reading the tea leaves, I think we got several relievers instead of the starter. Newcomb is SP4 and auditions for SP5. Fill at midseason if necessary.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Did Liberty Media sell the Braves and didn’t tell anyone?

we also could see the AAA shuttle come into play...we will have a deep group of starters in AAA with options

or Newk is trade bait, going into the year with Fried/Folty/Soroka and 2 ? marks isnt something i see AA doing.

[Hudson2]

I still think we’ll make a good size trade either for a starter or a of’er. Good pickup though.

[Enscheff]

Darn also has a bit of the “potential upside if he can stay healthy” narrative going for him, so that makes him a little more exciting compared to a pure platoon acquisition like Castro.

[The Chosen One]

This financial flexibility thing is really good.

Travis rewarding us for keeping Chase on the team when we were awful

[ixiXSolidXixi]

Just asking how i supposed to feel? I know this guy had a good year last year but do he make us a better team?
