Mark Melancon to Atlanta per Passan

[striker42]

This would not be good.

If we're taking on the money the return should have been a hearty handshake and a smile.

 

[Braves1976]

This would not be good.

This would be stupid, he isn't even that good.

 

[Heyward]

He's ok, but yeah, taking on that whole contract should been Winkler and a stiff, not Beck.

 

[zbhargrove]

This would not be good.

Really gonna hurt your wallet?

 

[BeanieAntics]

If we really are taking on all the money owed to Melancon, then I'm not a fan of this deal at all.

AA is a good GM but taking on this entire contract is not a good move.

Beck isn’t near the prospect the taking chop boys want to pretend he is, I don’t think.

Still price is high.

Tone of this deal changes if we are really paying for melancon his full salary next year.

 

[thewupk]

So Melancon is next years O'Day except he is actually going to pitch?

Be nice if O'Day surprises me late August

It wont hurt mine, but it will hurt AA improving next years roster.

 

[The Tariff King]

We have money coming off books I thought.

Not paying O'Day anymore. Probably will not pick up Flowers option with Jackson and Murphy as depth if McCann wants to take another 1 year deal. Keuchel probably won't come back.

Tehearn is also an option we may not have to pick up. Or maybe AA got word from McGuirk the payroll is expanding again.

Actually, you have no clue if that's true.

There's certainly some money to work with, and i could see us pay Dallas. Julio at 12 mil will be interesting too.

Payroll is probably expanding, but how much, is tbd.

I think AA prob won't re-sign Keuchel but will offer him QO.

In the event he declines, we still have Anderson, Wright,Wilson again to try and figure it out.

Can't offer the QO to Dallas

It is still too much to pay for this reliever, he is making 14 million next year. I wouldn't pay him half that as he is not as good as he use to be.
