That's wild coming off arm surgery.

I think probably you should worry if a college prospect is looking overmatched in low minors.

But the extensions have generally been for slightly less money than anticipated market and do not extend as far into projected decline years. It should work out better for team, but you can't really control who gets hurt and who doesn't play well. I liked Riley's the least because he seems...

it's just hard to picture the Braves being the high bid on a long term contract for the top free agent. I'm not sure that's ever happened with a position player. All evidence is that AA might price enforce with free agents but won't overpay for decline years.

Very different situation but probably not.

Can the team dictate which of two medically acceptable options a player takes? No. It can give advice and express a preference but it ultimately isn't up to the team and it's not going to void the contract.

The team doesn't get to make medical decisions for players.

I think it's possible that a guy that doesn't throw hard could be effective, but it's far from likely. And bringing up unicorns to make this argument is never really all that effective. Particularly unicorns from 30 years ago.

And a SP or two.

I don't necessarily see the Braves signing a C, 1B, 2B,3B, CF, or RF. They should upgrade SS and probably LF/DH.

I think what has happened recently is the mid level guys got too much money.

I do not see the upside to cutting Albies any more than I saw it with Ozuna's struggles a couple of years ago. You might as give him time to heal himself. I don't think though that anyone in org was seriously considering cutting bait. .

Yeah, what?

Just the home ones.

It's true that most fans would have been more upset they traded a big name for nothing than keeping them.

I'm personally not sure I agree that you trade them for whatever you can get. It has to be something that projects to help.

Preller is honest the perfect fans GM. He's always doing something. Generally it's the opposite of what he was doing ten minutes ago, but there is always action.

What is a "generational trade deadline?"

I forgot about Turner and fried actually.
