    We're Snakebit

    Another bizarre aspect of the offseason that doesn’t come up much: restructuring Lopez’s contract, which guaranteed him more total money in exchange for a lower 2025 salary. This had no effect on the luxury tax figure and at the time was assumed to free up more money to spend in the offseason...

    Around Baseball 2024 edition

    The most inexplicable part of the Murphy/Contreras trade is why the A's got Milwaukee involved and didn't just take Contreras.

    Official 2024 Off-Season Thread!

    My theory is that AA plans to dip under the luxury tax threshold in 2025 to avoid third-year penalties, and he's making the most of his second year in the tax by taking on all these 2024 dead contracts in exchange for long-term team-controlled assets.

    Braves re-sign Jimenez

    There's a trend of AA fixating on random players and valuing them more than you'd expect. Giving up a draft pick to sign Will Smith to 3 yr deal. Giving Drew Smyly $11 million out of nowhere. Trading Malloy for Jimenez and then doubling down on 3 yr deal.

    Minor League Thread

    Are there service-time implications for keeping Soroka in the minors? He's supposed to be a free agent after next season. Can he be kept down long enough to gain another year of control?

    Braves pay to remove Odor. Bring back Allard

    Based on the numbers in this article: The Astros paid Will Smith $5.6 million ($4.6 million remaining 2022 contract plus $1 million buyout) The Braves paid Odorizzi $12.29 million ($1.79 million remaining 2022 contract, plus 500k for reaching 100 innings, plus $10 million towards 2023 salary)...

    Michael Harris Extension Reportedly Coming

    "An eight-year deal beginning in the 2023 season would buy out all six of Harris’ years of club control — he debuted too late in the 2022 season to accrue a full season of service time before season’s end, barring a top-two finish in Rookie of the Year voting — as well as his first two...

    This is too good: Dating back to this past offseason, I've seen countless rumors linking the Braves to Moustakas, but never once have I gained an ounce of reason to believe they have any interest in him. https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/inbox-will-braves-make-a-deadline-deal/c-285028448

    Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

    So the DBacks just eat Swanson's $6.5 million signing bonus? Just unreal how dumb they are.

    Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

    All hail Coppy! I knew when I saw that it was the DBacks this would be good, but I would have never dreamed of this haul. Inciarte, Blair, Swanson, Touki for Shelby and Gosselin.

    This is from a while back but deserves to be enshrined. My favorite Bowman video of all time. Just wait for the earpiece to come out... http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/7417714/v195024083/mark-bowman-talks-about-the-braves-on-mlb-now

    http://m.braves.mlb.com/news/article/145754264/inbox-examining-braves-plans-to-upgrade ALERT: There is certainly reason to believe Coppolella will be considered a candidate for the vacant GM spots with the Brewers and Angels, and the one that soon could open up with the Mariners.
