This. Sorry Enscheff, but in the post directly before you complained about Iglesias you mentioned the premium that needs to be added for being able to use Happ in a current playoff run. Is there some reason HE is the only player that the premium applies to? We get that you wanted Happ and...

Just over $176 million - a little over $194 million when figured for the Luxury Tax.

Doc and Strawberry introduced him to their former "associates".

Tip your cap when a guy like that outworks you.

Wanted to get Judge out of CF - getting one of the best (if not the best) at going to get it out there isn't a bad idea. Montas addition is probably what made that possible - Taillon now probably gets their postseason Game 4 starts. With their offense, that ain't awful.

He'll take Strider's spot when they send him down in order to manage his innings so he can be full-throttle come playoff time.

Davidson was on the 40-Man. Could've DFAd Ford.

No - had absolutely no clue. Trading for a 4th LHP in the pen would be an absolute waste of a prospect. Lee was already being under-utilized because of Snitker's allegiance to Smith. Using a prospect to add another one when you can use Muller for that role AFTER he finishes making all his...

Agreed. The point is that it won't hurt one bit if you add him to the playoff roster in the event you actually need another LHP beyond Minter/Matzek/Lee/Yates. There's absolutely no need to waste a prospect when you've already got a better Pitcher in-house than somebody you're trading for to...

Which is why EVERY single pie-in-the-sky post about turning Ozuna into anything is so laughable. The Braves don't want his contract - there's the dead giveaway that nobody else (particularly teams selling at the trade deadline and rebuilding clubs) wants it either. Any attempt to make that...

Not hard to do at all - simply include Strider and Grissom and I bet Bloom will bite.

You would seriously trade meaningful prospects to upgrade the FOURTH LHP IN YOUR PEN??? Use Muller in that role before you waste prospects like that. Thank God you're not in charge.

Considering the money the Tigers sent with him, I definitely think it's not outside the realm of possibility that Alex circles back on someone like Drury or even an extra RH pen arm late this afternoon if other contenders make deals for bigger names and the asking prices for those guys come down...

FWIW - for those bemoaning the money owed to the two "*hitty" players Alex traded for, just stop. The Astros are sending $3,214,286 along with Odorizzi, and the Tigers are sending $3,214,282 along with Grossman. The Braves aren't the only team that "buys" prospects or buys down contracts to...

Why? Yates will be promoted today.

Suitors for Drury drying up.

Bowman tweeted the Braves believe they could be a Top 5 payroll team soon. Hello Fried AND Dansby extensions. Time to get Grissom an outfielder's glove.

With Alex' preference to avoid long-term deals for Pitchers, I'd expect it would have to look more like the Musgrove deal.
