Would be interesting to see if Soroka would take the Teheran deal (say 6/$40 million) if he can finish the season healthy and strong. Way too much to hope for IMO, but are you willing to roll those dice with his injury history and this team around you - especially when they've paid you for 2...

Far from it, and it's pretty insulting to keep hearing that - for us "regular people" as well as them. They were both handed life-changing (not only for them, but generations of their families) money by the times they were old enough to graduate college. Anyone that thinks the money they have...

HOLY *HIT!!!

While I don't think the Rangel/Gordon/Munoz/Niekro group hold much appeal for other teams, I'm not willing to go that far when it comes to Perez and especially Vargas because of their ages. Salinas has to be added after NEXT season.

Still can't imagine Alex further thins out the system by attaching a prospect to make that contract go away, but if Grissom can be 75% as good as he has so far it might be worth paying half the money to get someone to take him so you can have the roster spot this winter. Ozzie goes back to 2B...

Alex may have to make some interesting choices this winter - there are some obvious candidates to be removed from the 40-Man Roster, but there are at least a couple of potential "must-adds". Likely to be cut loose guys include... 1.) Robbie Grossman 2.) Ehire Adrianza 3.) Alan Rangel 4.) Brooks...

That extra LH bat would be nice - wonder when the last time Olson played 3B was? Riley would solve the LF problem!!! :FrediWut:

They're not actually "carrying" three Catchers - d'Arnaud hasn't been available, even to pinch-hit. Tromp is only up in case something happens to Contreras before Travis is ready to play. d'Arnaud's an empty roster spot right now because they didn't think he'd miss the full 10 days if they put...

You’re projecting Fried at $11 million. Not sure why you think your numbers are different than mine. I said “roughly” $172-$174 million depending on what he gets. I just didn’t bother to speculate on what Minter, Matzek, and Soroka will get in arbitration or whether they’ll bother going through...

That "AL/NL history" dates back to 1900 according to MLB Central this morning.

I don't think they're overly worried about whether Grissom can stick at SS to be honest - I think just the threat that he can is enough for management's purposes. I'm still not quite buying the Braves as a Top 5 payroll team - will believe that when we actually see it - but I definitely think...

https://www.mlb.com/braves/news/braves-injuries-and-roster-moves 2B Ozzie Albies (fractured left foot) Expected return: Late August or September Albies began playing catch on Aug. 3, but Braves manager Brian Snitker did not know when the second baseman might be cleared for other baseball...

Not sure why they'll look outside the organization OR to Grissom for the short term. Ozzie's roughly two weeks away and Motter has been tearing the cover off the ball in Gwinnett. Simba hasn't hit in a LONG time. If there's a chance Arcia won't be available to be added to the postseason roster...

Mezquita lands at #18... Paying customers only - NVM.

Grissom up to #78... Paying customers only - NVM.

I completely get the same feeling from having to deal with a group of long time - and FAR FROM "idiotic" old-school guys I have a text chain with. It's incredible to me (now) how EVERY single loss/mistake/error/etc. is such a big deal - so much so that I simply have to ignore the gripes and...

Names to add to the 2022 draft class - undrafted free-agents... Atlanta Braves Nick Clarno, C, Lenoir-Rhyne Hayden Harris, LHP, Georgia Southern Justin Militello, RHP, Howell (Mich.) HS Harrison Owen, C, Cosumnes River (Calif.) JC Hunter Riggins, RHP, Southern Mississippi Bryson Worrell, OF...

He's ready. Interesting decision coming up for the powers that be this week. I'd personally bring Yates up to take Anderson's roster spot for a while - serves a couple pretty important purposes... 1.) Gets Yates back to competing with the types of hitters he's actually going to be facing in...

Agreed. It very well may be bad at the end, but for the next two years it should be a pretty substantial upgrade over Smith for similar money. Considering how long it's been that this type of contract would be a potential killer for the Braves, it's awfully nice to finally have Alex in a...
