AA might have just meant that he was unsure of the DUI laws in Florida and how long he'll be held if he gets pulled over again. Might overlap with opening day. :-)

This is the Baseball Trade Values valuation of the trade. Looks like we got back a little more than we gave, all to facilitate the A's getting fleeced by the Brewers. The site wouldn't even accept the trade b/c it's too lopsided. Maybe something else needs to go here?

With all these players involved it feels like Herschel Walker for half the Minnesota Vikings.

Per Baseball Trade Values, we would be underpaying if we gave up those four and got Murphy back. Somewhere we might be sending out more. ???

Would love that - Burnes and Adames and Murphy to us, and we give up Contreras, Pina, and our quad-A catching corps - tons of them. And hilarious that our beat reports struck out on this deal and Dave O'Brien is just posting links to other reporters.

And it could help on long-term luxury tax issues, because we're almost guaranteed to go over this year. Each year over adds to the penalties. Since Donaldson is down to 1 year on his contract, he'll be off the books after 1 year. Ozuna's money could push us over for 2 years. We could get...

This group from MLB Trade Rumors - Diaz, I think. Shortstops Elvis Andrus (34) Carlos Correa (28) Aledmys Diaz (32) Alcides Escobar (36) Marwin Gonzalez (34) Didi Gregorius (33) Jose Iglesias (33) Andrelton Simmons (33) Dee Strange-Gordon (35) Dansby Swanson (29) Jonathan Villar (32)

Interesting thought. There are more options in the SS market than there were last year w/ Freddie. Less chance of completely losing the musical chairs game.

The second coming of Jeff Blauser? (He left the Braves for the Cubs' money about 25 years ago.)

Understood, but they're sunk costs. And can't wait for boozuna to hit the bar somewhere else. :-)

I propose that the Braves should pivot to the outfield market. Pay up for LF and cheap on SS. Just spit-balling here: Brandon Nimmo was a 5 win player last year, as were Dansby and Correa. Sure, they're not the same players. Nimmo was projected to get $100mm and Dansby and Correa might get...

We have lots of what the Brewers need - cheap, major-league ready pieces. Adames and Burnes for our whole AAA/AAAA pitching surplus + Grissom. Is there something workable in there?

Might make it easier for us to get Haniger or another OF?

How about this?

Here's a link to a video. I watched the first minute or so. It's some investigative journalist's video and includes parts of the Fox 5 Atlanta story from about 0:20. I don't know anything about the journalist, whether they're credible or not. But I remember being shocked at the Fox 5 video...

Doesn't Georgia for DUI suspects to submit to a blood test? I remember videos floating around years ago of Gwinnett County holding people down to take their blood against their will. Would the reckless driving / 90-in-a-45 be enough for a guilty finding? Is there any hope to get out of this...

That's both hilarious and a good reason to remove one sketchy part of the Hart/Coppy regime.

Olson and Correa anyone?

agreed. Makes me wonder if just once we try to cash in. Riley for Olson, Chapman, and Manea plus maybe minor pieces on both sides. The A's get to clear ~$30MM off their books, we get a replacement 3B with superb defense and OK offense, a great 1B, and a solid SP. And by not resigning Freddie...

I honestly think that even though it can be argued that "they signed it", the deals aren't really fair. Acuna's going to be much more of a star than Freddie, and his first deal is for less than Freddie's was years before. There has already been some back-and-forth between Acuna's dad and the...
