    Braves sign Yonder Alonso to a minor league deal.

    The die has been cast. I'm all Freddie now. My thoughts were never about disliking Freddie but about maximizing his value. They chose to keep him. His max value now is to keep him through the end of his contract since the Braves are in their window of contention. Now, if the Braves go big to...

    Not defending it in any way but I'm pretty sure they are proposing Bryant AND Quintana for Waters, Riley, Wright and Tarnok. Can't see that. I would do: Bryant, Quintana, Happ for Inciarte, Riley, Anderson and Tarnok

    Alonso is a good option if you're looking for someone to stand at first base, get hit in the chest with the ball, reach down, collect the ball and record the out. Outside of that, it's about the most useless signing I've seen for 1B since Kotchman. I mean, he's not Ken Camanitti bad over there...

    1. IF Felix looks good enough to hold down #5, then Newk probably gets traded in ST. I still think AA will look for third base options right up until the season starts. With Paxton going down and the Yanks having a couple of 3rd basemen, I think that might be an option. Outside of that, AA spent...

    I suggest becoming a gay borg. Nothing wrong with that. This is the 21st century! Come out of the tool shed.

    Frederick

    So you're saying he should have been traded 9 years ago? :Gasp:

    Fallen Royalty joins Braves organization

    Hopefully he spent the winter at the Bartolo Colon clinic getting HGH and full body stem cell shots.

    Not only should they not be players for a Marte trade, they should look at shopping Ender now to see if they can get enough value to justify trading him. If you can find a team willing to take his contract AND provide a reasonable prospect in return (a pick isn't enough IMO), then I think he...

    Should have traded Hanniger and set him Free........man, he might be a good pick up still, buying low on injury. Maybe a Seager/Hanniger deal for Inciarte and some young pitching from the likes of Toussaint, Wilson, Muller etc. Braves can clear most of the payroll difference by moving Inciarte...

    MLB suspends Astros GM and Manager for a year, yuge fine and takes away draft picks.

    If they did anything to the Yankees and Red Sox, who would play on Sunday night baseball?

    The only way it happens is if the Rockies are really looking to reduce payroll and need to move Arenado to achieve that goal. It's clear that they aren't moving Blackmon since he's likely completely upside down. As are Davis, Desmond, McGhee, Shaw and Murphy. Story has value but doesn't make...

    Andujar is the more necessary. But a RH corner OF power bat would be nice. Frazier has talent. He's also been immature and jerked around some by his organizations. I think given the right opportunity he's ready to take off. If you give me a choice of Frazier at reasonable prospect cost vs...

    You want him on that wall. You need him on that wall. You can't handle the truth.

    This is where we start talking ourselves into the "it will be ok" mantra. If AA signed Smith after trading for Melancon and Greene and then was unable to address the biggest holes on the offense (or does address but has to give away the farm, harming the length of the window) then the offseason...
