    DRAFT IN PROGRESS THREAD ... What's past is preamble

    Lol at those thinking Groome could fall to 40. When the big market teams start picking he'll be gone. My guess is Washington takes him at 28 which will be a punch in the gut!

    This just in ....Braves will not sign Maitan, instead they are going to sign 2 pitchers that are half as good and will cost the same amount

    Braves Spring Training news and roster competition

    Wow, dropping like flies. I would have thought we could get something from someone for Bourn to be a 4th outfielder with us paying most/all salary. Do we have 10 days to find a taker now?

    2016/2017 Free Agent Class

    2017 - if Stras stays healthy this year we need to be all in, not much else to spend on moving in to new park Trade for Lucroy still makes sense Another play for Cespedes? Spending big on Strasburg makes even more sense since 2018 is weak also There are several royals that could end up in that...

    Heyman: Braves 'interested' in Cespedes

    If Orioles sign Cespedes and let Chris Davis walk then they could be more likely to trade for Markakis as the money combined would still be less than Davis alone. Would have Ces in left and Markakis back in right. I would prefer this if it opened the door to reunite with Upton if AAV is similar...

    2015 WINTER MEETINGS THREAD

    Blash would have been my choice, he may have been a swing and miss (literally with his high K rate) but could have offered significant addition of power to a team that has none to speak of. Who knows if we could have struck gold since he is more seasoned than most available rule 5 players. I...

    What's next?

    Lucroy is a free agent after this year, coming off down year, not sure how demanding Brewers can be. He is not a long term option unless he is re-signed of course. Edit: he has a 2017 option

    What's next?

    I'd keep Teheran and let him try to regain the form he had in 2014, his value is probably its lowest and we have like 47 million in committed payroll for 2017 so why trade him now? If we can trade Markakis we could go in to next offseason with a payroll of ~36 million, that is nuts! My worry is...

    Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

    Yep. What's the updated figure on that? According to Cots were at 72 million pre-arbitration and Flowers signings. This does not include the minimums we will pay for some of our younger players. If we can unload Markakis with his entire contract (11mil has to look like a bargain for a lot of...

    Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

    Blair should be in rotation to start season, no? His MLB pipeline scouting report sounds very promising

    Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

    Trade Markakis and re-sign Heyward to 12 years/400 million to complete the circle. Do it.
