Eh that’s a pretty penny for Marte and for 1-2 years too long. The Mets wouldn’t go to 6 years/25 per for Springer (who was 25) but go 4 years at near 20 per for a 32 year old? That’s the Mets for you. Look they are going to spend like crazy this winter because the training wheels are off of...

Actually in a 363 sale, the trust can reject certain executory contracts - if a contract is rejected, the counterparty is free to contract elsewhere. However that contract is valuable (ie, in the money)- so there is no way it would be rejected so it’s just a theoretical exercise.

What this does tell me is AA should sell high if some team calls and values Ian as something more than a solid middle of the rotation guy. Obviously I don’t want to trade Ian since he is immensely valuable to us and for rotation stability, but if someone valued him higher I’d be interested in...

Our boys did it. I’m so happy. I’m in Houston running down the street in my Soler jersey. Rico- this one is for you, man!

Well here’s to Rico and hoping he has front row seats to this WS and helping the Braves take the title this year. He will be sorely missed. Rest In Peace my friend

Enscheff - Snitker said Soler has been working out the whole time On his own and is ready for game action (per a espn article from a half hour ago).

Putting his current injury aside, Brandon Belt is a viable 1B option. He's 33 so I expect his contract would be shorter than Freeman's but he'd still have a relatively high AAV. But question is whether he can continue his same level of 2021 production over the next ~2 years (unlikely but could...

Don't forget about Cano - he's likely their DH next year if there's the universal DH. He's already making noises about playing again and being healthy so unless they want to keep him on the bench or are able to trade him or Alonso, I doubt they'll go after Freeman.

Crazy thing is the scouting report on Waddell gave him a high grade on his bat to ball skills and he graded out average or better than average on nearly every tool with the sole exception of power - where he was given a 20 or 30 grade. If he develops power (and it is sustainable - obviously his...

It quotes Bill Shanks. That’s all you need to know.

Ha. Maybe AA thinks its inevitable that the odds will play in our favor that at least one or two players from the Island of Misfit Toys will be on a hot streak at any given time such that you never have all boom or bust.

Ender posted a nice goodbye and shout out to Atlanta fans on his IG story- I don't know to link it here (since it's not a post, it's a story) but kudos to him for showing class on the way out. Class act.

Touki may be the most promising one out of that entire lot as well (given his stuff)- so let's not forget about him.

Wow. Touki looked great in the first. Hope he can keep it up

If you truly believe this doesn't happen (and happens with a sad level of frequency) then I have a bridge to sell you. I'm not saying that in Ozuna's specific case but to disclaim it as a whole is asinine.

He’s happy, he has not sold his home(s) in Atlanta contrary to rumors (only renting them out), still loves Atlanta and it’s the only organization he’s ever known his entire professional career, only lives in CA because he wants his kids To be able to play outdoors in the winter and is close to...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Dodgers calling up Nate Jones... watch them turn him into a reliable late inning relief option...

Heredia probably wants in to exact payback against his former team (not saying that’s a good reason to play him against a RHP). Mets are without half their lineup - McNeil, Davis and Conforto are all On the DL. No excuses this series and Degrom is out till after this series too.

Now Braves sign Tanner Roark to a minor league deal. Man that contract before 2020 the Jays gave him was horrible...

Didn't think this deserved its own thread but was interesting nonetheless. Won't post the article (it's on The Athletic) but I found this tidbit interesting. Apparently Doug Fearing left the Dodgers R&D group a few years ago and founded Zelus Analytics in Austin, TX which provides a limited...
