    You skipped Ohtani in your running through of the lineup… Braves are WS favorites still though

    Yeah I’m failing to currently see the brilliance of some of these moves.

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    I wouldn’t want to miss getting a guy like Waldrep to sign a guy like Duvall

    Didn’t cohen say they weren’t going to try and compete again right away? Why sign the guys they’ve signed then? Like I said before, they’re trying to compete again but with worse players than last year.

    AA said any specific contract offer rumor is false

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    They gave Giolito ~$19m though which is interesting if they’re trading Sale to shed salary

    How does operating at a loss in the short-term = being a charity..? Owners field ****ty teams and fans don’t show up so they use that to justify not spending on the team. It’s a cycle. They’re making plenty of money and are reluctant to really re-invest. They’d rather pocket it and bitch that...

    FA pitching is expensive and AA is paying Sale $500k. Brilliance.

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    You just know which fraudster this guy buys his fake crystal balls from

    Braves trade for Chris Sale - Grissom going to Red Sox (Extension through 26 at 18M)

    It’s been outlined already, what are you missing? I’m unconcerned with a 3 that will pitch a bunch of innings in the regular season. I want a guy who can impact games big time in October. Sale fits that bill. Pretty simple.

    Fangraphs: What, exactly, are the Braves up to?

    Asking a starter to emerge is in fact a big ask. It’s one of the toughest asks in baseball.

    Plenty of ventures can/will operate at a short-term loss to make more money down the line. Concept isn’t remotely new.

    Disagree. If he weren’t so cheap, he’d get more out of his investment.

    Athletics owner is worth $2.5bn not factoring in the team’s value. Notoriously cheap

    Is there a single owner not worth billions? Want to be competitive? Spend your money. Good teams draw fans. The Rays are an exception because their stadium is atrocious and they don’t make splashes that excite fans. Owners have the money, they just don’t want to spend it. I won’t cry for them.

    Why is it out of hand though? Do you know how much these owners are worth and how much money these teams make? Frankly I think it’s good when owners actually spend big. Force the rest of the league to try and keep up.

    Yeah why would I want to move Ozuna at this point. Good luck finding a better bat at DH.

    If that’s the deal for Cease that would get it done, it should get done yesterday. I like AJSS a lot but those other pieces are fungible. Grissom I suppose isn’t but he has no place in atlanta.
