Mike Soroka was placed on the DL with a bicep strain. He was really good for the short time he was healthy, which seems like forever ago.

I’m probably just trying to find a silver lining but I’m warming up to how the off-season has played out. It does suck that AA didn’t make a big offseason move but I do like having prospects and money under the cap available at the trade deadline. Every year teams fall out of contention and...

Agreed. Best move of the offseason. AA and McGuirk have rebuilt the organization into one the best in baseball after the Hart / Coppy fiasco. AA has some work to do on the farm system to keep the division titles coming but I think he’s up to the task. I’m sure Mets, Phillies and Nats fans...

Based on what the Mets, Phils, Nats and Marlins have done so far this offseason to rebuild I think the window may be open for a long time. The next two drafts and international signing periods will determine how long the Braves are a playoff team. Don’t forget to be a playoff team you only have...

I wonder if the Dodgers could flip the deffered money owed after retirement into stock in the team. If that’s possible then liberty media should just go ahead and give Acuna / Albies and Fried a big extension tomorrow.

Typically income tax is paid in the state where the income is earned. Seems like it would be hard to get around CA taxes

I’m surprised the players union is ok with him deferring so much money interest free. All the Dodgers have to do is invest 30 million per year for 10 years at an 8% return and they have the money to pay the 700 million out over the next 10 years. Im sure the Dodgers can grow the money tax free...

The Fletcher part of the trade doesn’t make much sense. Stassi as a backup catcher would have some value to teams if AA is willing to eat a portion of his salary. Remember Pina was part of the Murphy trade. Maybe every big trade requires backup catcher to be thrown in.

J D Davis is 2nd in Fwar among NL 3rd basemen. Somehow I wish he could be an Allstar just to troll the Mets.

I agree Riley doesn't belong if he is being compared to his teammates. If you go to Fangraphs and look at war and his stats compared to the other NL 3rd basemen its not a surprise he made it.

The Mets are 7 GB in the wild card race. It’s going to be fun watching them implode this summer. The best thing that happened to the Braves was when Cohen bought the team he decided to buy a title instead of rebuild. Just imagine what the Mets could be now if they would have traded...

Charlie only shows up in clutch situations. Don’t want to waste his clutchness in a blowout.

Can’t believe they let a Mississippi guy be on TV. I’ve enjoyed Ingram all the way back to his days doing M Braves games.

Ozuna not sucking has messed up the TDA / Murphy DH idea. If Ozuna starts sucking again the team could carry a 3rd catcher and TDA / Murphy could DH. The Murphy trade may become AA’s best move as the Braves GM.

Maybe Arica is the new Camargo. 3 war the first year as a starter. Negative war the balance of his career.
