Ready for some rumor mongering? My financial advisor (also my company's main banker) has a lot of current and former baseball players as clients. One of whom sits on the board with AA himself. This is what he hears (so third-hand info, and about a week and a half out of date): -The Braves hope...

There is one way, and one way only that the Braves sign Ohtani. It's unlikely to the point of nigh impossible, but it's the only conceivable way: -MLB now allows teams to sell international broadcast rights. Those rights can include the right to superimpose advertising logos behind home plate...

You joke, but it DOES sound like a good idea.

I thought they were pitchers? Oh stop; you know I'm joking. Jeez.

I'd have to think that one outfielder would have to go to keep another infield reserve.

Ditto.

Business meeting. My company is also in media.

I have a business connection who works in finance for Liberty Media. He's a check-writer, so pretty high-level, and part of his area of responsibility includes the Braves. Over the years I've known him, he's told me ... basically jack about the Braves, except for about a week and a half warning...

Ditto.

ClvClv was the only one of you I ever spoke to in person. He was a good dude, gone too soon. Let's be kind to each other.

Has anyone heard even a peep from Jordan Luplow? I don't think I've even heard his name since camp began.

And I didn't scroll up. So my bad.

Isn't he on the 40-man, so an automatic invite? Or am I misremembering? Unless it was the leg injury last year?

Yeah, but see ... that's just how good Grissom is. He's so good, they'll probably give him ROY anyway. And probably Comeback Player of the Year and Cy Young as well.

Classy.

Is anyone else thinking this trade was at least partially driven by the rule changes? Bigger bases, fewer pick offs, pitch clock, etc.? Even eliminating the shift could mean more base runners, and therefore more steal attempts.

I am trying so, so hard not to get too excited about Malloy. I am not succeeding. I am truly a homer.

MLBTrumors mentions Harris's salary in the second paragraph.

I think we'll all be glad to see that Nutsack repaired.
