    This is a move we’ve been expecting for months.

    Current payroll is sitting at about $126M, so either 3b is getting a cheap option, or the posi-Braves are getting their wish for a $150M+ opening day payroll.

    Or...AA has a rabbit in his hat for an impact bat.

    once that started getting reported we should've known it wasn't true. what has AA done that has actually been picked up on ahead of time?

    Mostly agree with you. But, to be fair, a lot of folks anticipated a Hamels-to-Atlanta move (though I guess it’s been more “predicted” than “reported on”).

    Among FA pitchers we actually had a shot at, he was by far my Number 1 choice. Glad to see it get done. Did not want MadBum, DK, or reclamation projects like Porcello.

    sure, i'm talking about Rosenthal (iirc it was him) saying the Braves were very interested in Bum. i don't believe there was anything similar with Hamels. if the Braves were actually very interested in Bum, it wouldn't have come to light.

    Huge fan of Hamels! A lot more than I thought he’d get. Maybe a cheap option for a 2nd year

    I could see them still signing Ozuna and Travis Shaw to platoon with Riley at 3B.
