Im sure AA knows what he is doing and Im equally sure he prepared for the steps that Swanson would or would not make. With the payroll situation as it is right now I dont see any of the Big 4 SSs coming to Atlanta so what is next.

I guess AA and Swanson could still be negotiating but it just doesnt feel like it to me. So the question becomes, Who is the SS next year?

I found a dime on the sidewalk this morning. I'll bet that dime that Arcia is not our starting SS in 2023.

I sure would like to dump Ozuna on some one but if you got Soroka and Sale both of whom may never pitch again, Id rather gamble less money on Soroka.

Personally I think Sox have to be a bit more positive after last year. Bloom appears to be on the hot seat. And then too, what the hell would Braves do with Sale?

Need someone that doesnt flail and fail constantly . Especially with the shift gone.

IMO everything hinges on Ozuna. Can AA dump him and then play with the CBA or not.

The comments section of the MLBTraderumors discussion has some pretty good explanations about the Braves CBA problems and why the cant be overly active in the FA market. Im sure they will get around to the trade market at some time soon.

Spotrac has not included Harris II salary all off season so best to go with the Cots numbers for now. Also note, the money went to Texas so it will also count against Rangers 2023 payroll. The players only get paid during the season IIRC somewhere around 15 paydays per year.

You are joking. Aren't you??????

Thanks but Its still a mystery to me. Spotrac lists 15 guaranteed contracts counting Odorizzi but not counting Harris. Their total is $159M and adding in arb etc $188M. Lux tax is $233m. I dont know where Enscheff got his numbers.

I dont want to rain on anyones parade but: Did Spotrac or the MLBTrumors articles include Michael Harris II contract money. I cant see it in the Spotrac figures nor does the said article seem to include it in their figures.

If I had to move today I would head for San Diego (and not for the Padres) or Berlin Germany even if I had to live in a tent on the street. Well maybe not that desperate.

Wasnt long ago IIRC that lots of members here wanted AA to sign Wheeler, Hand, Schwarber, Castellano and I think Realmuto. Now they are hated??????LOL

I didnt see the situation Acuna was most recently accused of dogging, but we all are or should be aware that this isnt the first time he has been chastised for loafing or other definitions of less than expected ML level of play. FWIW, in 1956 (before you or lots of other posters here were born)...

Jesus, can you read or can you not read.

Once again I am not advocating either but some examples as to why AA might trade one/both. Suppose Boston JUST FOR INSTANCE since we all know they will not do a slow rebuild. Bogarts leaves and Sox want to move Story to SS leaving a big hole at 2nd and they have a stud LFer (which they dont to...

Just a history reminder: Even Babe Ruth was traded once upon a time. Andruw Jones signed a crappy contract (for his talent) that Braves watched him move on at his earliest opportunity.

You can quit worrying about that. I assure you that Im not HH. But Im sure deep down you know that since you have some control over this site.

Has DeGrom not lost a bit of his shine this season? I doubt $40M will come his way this year.
