Megathread: Braves lose Maitan, Bae and 10+ plus International Sanctions.

[Enscheff]

*amn good thing our amazingly analytically-inclined number crunchers found those guys from their cubicles at 755 Hank Aaron Drive - could you imagine where the franchise would be if their internet had gone out?!?!?

There’s a stupid.

With the 10,000 restriction does our pool lower? If we cannot sign people can we get players by trading our pool money?

the pool was cut in half I think. Normal is about $4.5M. So the Braves pool should be about $2.25M.

That means they will be able to sign 225 players per year. Going to need more academies.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

They lost their pool entirely for the 10,000 signing period. It’s the year after they have it cut in half.

 

[TheBravos]

The more I see other teams punishment compared to ours...the more pissed I am. Players alone and then the $20 mil lost in signing them is staggering. To add the international sanctions on top and the 3rd round pick is almost to the point of ridiculous.

Question....has ANY team in ANY sport been hit even HALF this hard...EVER??!!

Coppy s book is going to be excellent

Coppy s book is going to be excellent

What's the title going to be?

"If I did it"

"If the glove does not fit, you can DH"

"It was the Russians"

"Winter meetings are coming"

"Stealing the Lindbergh international bonus baby"

He's not doing any interviews until at least spring due to legal issues. I checked. I'd wager that book is a ways off.

Regardless, he's got major issues to worry about on his own if he ever enters many of the countries again where he was working. He'll be imprisoned in a few for what he did.

Wait, what?

Wait, what?

Let's just say his ban doesn't have anything to do with bundling contracts. I'm not at all allowed to release anything I've been told about it, though.

Well that just raises further questions.

That's quite the revelation.

Well that’s concerning for him. Can’t imagine what he did. You think this will eventually come to light?

Cannibalism.

 

[IslandBrave]

MLB had a showcase for players released by the Braves today. However most of the players didn't show up.

Interesting. Maybe they want to stay but that's a big risk to wait till may.

maybe they fear Hartcoppy and have gone into hiding

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Interesting. Maybe they want to stay but that's a big risk to wait till may.

Maybe they have handshake deals in place with some cash under the table. Because you know that won’t be investigated

 

[Tapate50]

I wonder if these kids getting a double pay day and now stateside decrease their chances of making it
