We’re gonna need an OF or two for AAA. I’d expect that to be our next signing

Adam Engel is my guess

Engel just sign to a Major League contract.

Bauer DFAed

7 days to trade him, next Thursday. Next Friday he'd be eligible to sign with someone. Would yall swap Ozuna for him lol?

I think it would be a mistake not to consider a trade. Many posters want to just DFA Ozuna. If that is viable to AA then if things PR wise turn into a problem it would be just as easy to release Bauer if needed.

So this last year for Bauer is what 30 million? Ozuna has 2 years at 16. Money seems to be about right. If dodgers gonna DFA anyway, why not take a chance on ozuna?

 

[PawPawMaxwell]

IIRC after suspension is finished Bauer will be due $22M.

Maybe if we send 10 million to make money even then

The Dodgers are DFA him to get rid of a headache, I doubt they’d wanna replace him with another. Anderson for Bauer? Bauer is a game changer.

The $22M owed to Bauer would put Braves up to $255M 2nd tier of tax. Still questions at SS and LF.

Even with the Questions I will like to free that money from Ozuna and Rosario this year.

Umm: if we traded Ozuna for him it would only be around $6M difference. If we signed him, the Dodgers would be paying him. Right?

Bauer just seems like someone who is a clubhouse cancer. AA seems to prioritize team unity. I highly doubt the Braves would even consider going after him.

I could see that. Bauer is pretty arrogant but I wonder if this will humble him some.

Him and Acuna butted heads after the playoff game in 2020

 

[bravesnumberone]

Bauer would be too much of a disruption. No thanks.

Maybe. He may go out there and mow guys down
