Meanwhile the NFL improving their elite product to keep excitement up. They're reducing time between picks in the first round of be draft. Baseball should pay attention to how the nfl doesn't drag along

NCAA should take note of how the NFL does commercial breaks.

Gotta get all the old dummies like twit out of the game before you can speed anything up. It would break them if things moved any faster.

Crazy rules question. The Baldwin ROY draft pick could be worth a ton on the trade market. Could the Braves package it up in a trade for a really special player, then turn around a sign a high dollar free agent and because the Baldwin ROY draft pick is gone, only lose the 2nd round pick?

Think so.

PPI picks are not tradable.

 

[Hudson2]

Good bc we wouldn't have anyways. If Texas is getting that many calls on Seager then there's probably a decent chance they trade him

The nothing burger surrounding trades, signings or otherwise should tell you all you need to know about the philosophy of AA. Still early...so I'll refrain from any snap judgements.

Yeah we always hear these deals that almost happened and that's becoming the norm now with AA so I don't get excited about anything anymore till it happens

Braves close to signing Mike Yastrzemski per Robert Murray. Hope the money is tolerable here.

why tho

 

[UNCBlue012]

Heyman: Mike Yastrzemski to sign a 2-year, $23M deal with the Braves.

That seems like an overpay of epic proportions.

 

[Heyward]

If thats the big bat for this offseason, then thats an epic overpay by AA. If they had that kinda money for Yaz, i hope bigger moves are coming.

 

[Freshmaker]

Profar to DH I guess?

 

[JohnBoy]

Did Mike Yastrzemski just become the RF and Acuna to DH? With a SS on the way?

Profar DH, Yaz, Harris, Acuna OF, i think.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Yas is a great signing. Surprised it took 2 years. Above average bat vs RH pitching and better defender than Acuna/Profar. Now we just need Miguel Andujar to platoon with him.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Yaz destroys righties and Murphy does lefties. There's your DH platoon

Also, Yaz was insane after he was traded to KC.

Either way, spending like $11M on Yaz, $6
5M on Dubón and $16M on Iggy means they have money for sure.

Can also rotate Profar, Acuna in on DH. Yeah they've already spent close to 40M already, they "should" have money for bigger moves aka SP, bullpen, SS.
