Nah, EOF is probably too expensive for the Braves; everybody else is... And it really makes you stop when you realize Cano is going to receive a shade under a quarter of a Billion dollars to play the game in Seattle. Just 'Wow'!!

Sorry. 2 thoughts merged into 1 post. Meant BMac as the "lifetime Brave". Just also thinking about those guys picked to do the commercials and 'In My Own Words' shows on SportSouth and they always are fan-favorites (i.e. Chipper, Huddy, BMac, Heyward, et al). Now BMac, David Ross, Prado, Hudson...

Will there ever be another player to suit up just for the Braves for their entire career? I say Chipper will be the last one for a VERY long time if it even ever happens again...Guess they'll be making some new 'In My Own Words' episodes now that Hudson and BMac have exited.

With Hudson vacating, BMac leaving, Heyward's "curious" tweet about BMac's new deal, etc., I guess it will be quite a while until another player's number is retired to the outfield wall. Wonder if I'll even see it happen during the rest of my lifetime?

IF the Braves had a bigger payroll budget IF the fans felt Liberty spent like some of the other "big pocket" owners IF the Braves weren't at risk (like many of the other mid-market teams) of developing and then losing big portions of their homegrown talent solely because of budgetary concerns...

[/B] I suppose McCann getting the money isn't the problem. The problem is the players expecting it; some owners throwing around huge contracts; no fair financial balance between teams; all business, nothing else. How do we fans cheer for the player when they don't care about the uniform they...

You joke but it gets harder and harder to support individual players. My sons play sports for the fun, health and competition BUT don't really enjoy watching games on TV because they even see players leaving for just $. Sure, I'm OK with McCann getting the contract with the Skankees (since the...

Why do I feel a little nauseous looking at Jason Heyward's comment above?? Instead of mild congrats for him or a regret that his teammate is now gone to another team, it reeks of high fives like they just won the WS! JHey will probably turn down an extension and bolt for the $$$ the moment he...

The way these salaries are ballooning out of control, that number could increase in weeks not years!!!

I support the decision that most injures, embarrasses and hurts ARoid, Bud AND the Skankees. Anything else would be less satisfying!

This is all well and good as a hypothetical exercise but the underlying cancer is still money. The day the Braves have to trade Kimbrel for salary relief (not wowed by a ridiculous offer), the day they cannot afford to keep more than 2 of their good, young players (a.k.a. Heyward, Freeman...

Rein in the madness. Put in a salary cap in MLB!! Or else, just cut down the leagues to 4 teams each (with the largest payrolls) and have your season.

Don't worry. He'll have Benjamin and all his twin brothers to keep him company!

1. I like what Enscheff and nsacpi said above. I might like to see another power righty brought in (or up from the minors), EOF definitely resigned and Infante as a bench player/ super sub. I'd also like Uggla to go to an AL team just so we wouldn't have to face him multiple times IF he found...

Good luck to Huddy! I wish all manner of evils on the rest of that team and organization, though. SF can bite a big one!

Well. this is a kick in the head. First, Braves just cannot be throwing that much money at a 40+ year old pitcher. As said above, he could eat a ton of innings or fall apart. Second, so much for any more hometown stuff; players today will seek the best deal, period. Huddy took less to stay in...

Who came up with 'Nitram Odarp' and 'Hot Nudism"? They deserve accolades here.

By declining the QO, can McCann still negotiate a multi-year deal with the Braves IF Atlanta made additional offers? I ask this for 2 reasons: 1. to know the legality of the baseball rules. And 2. to make sure that when he signs elsewhere, he HAD the chance to return to the Braves and work out...

I never count out the Yankees either. According to MLB, they're the only four teams allowed to win on bids on Cuban defectors ,right?
