    Braves sign Travis D’Arnaud

    For 2/$16M

    Guess we’re “set” at catcher

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

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

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

    "I am your retribution."

    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.

    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.

    we also could see the AAA shuttle come into play...we will have a deep group of starters in AAA with options
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

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

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

    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.
