Braves just signed Suarez for 3/45 hell yeah!!

 

[bravesfanMatt]

is a bit risky to hand out that contract to an aging reliver who works off contact not K's... but he was really good last year and you have to spend money to get real players.. so I am down with this for sure.

Love it! He takes Iglesias money next year. Bullpen is now a strength

My spider sense tells me a big trade is coming. Probably for a SP. Maybe SS.

I'm gonna say SS. Neto from the Angels would be a really good get if we could use pitching to get him.

I think you just forgot to change your bong water and catching a bad trip today..

Shortstop or SP trade would be most likely. I wouldn’t entirely discount a Buxton trade if AA is willing to part with Harris. People are assuming Yaz might split a lot of at bats with Murphy with Profar rotating between left and DH, but it’s difficult to ever assume with AA.

Twins would say no I'm sure. Buxton running around in CF in the southern heat scares me

 

[Hudson2]

Hopefully Chris Bassitt is next on a 2 year deal and then trade for a SS.

 

[The Tariff King]

Do we lose a pick for this

No, he didn't receive a QO.

Hmm. This makes two years in a row that I'm not crazy about the Braves' big FA addition and for a lot of the same reasons. We're buying high off a career year, giving a 3-year contract to a player entering his decline years, and the player has some obvious warts under the hood. I'm certainly not forecasting doom, but I think there's a good chance we're gonna be disappointed with the net result here in time. Not devastated, but disappointed and regretful. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[JohnBoy]

I think there's a Seager, a Kim, or a Bichette on the way.

Take this with a grain of salt, but Steve Phillips is on MLB network talking about how bad the Mets clubhouse was last season. Says Soto and Lindor were not talking. Rumor is the Mets and Padres were talking about a Lindor trade at the winter meetings.

Doubtful considering he just had surgery and his recovery time is unknown. Not to mention he's already 30 with a history of injuries.

Kim was a high quality SS in a mostly barren FA class last year and had to settle for 2/29 with an opt out. And even after a solid run with us at the end of the season, he might not eclipse 3/45 this off-season.

Murphy is gonna have to prove he is both healthy and good before he recoups any trade value.

Kim will get 3/$45m or more this offseason. He’s also never put up 5+ WAR season. Murphy, coming off 2 WAR while playing part time and injured, would clear 3/$45m.
