Some nice injury insurance at AAA. As far as I can tell, has one option remaining. Braves can put SRod or Winkler on the 60-day DL to make room. Wouldn't guess he has a realistic chance of making the team as a bench option out of ST...

No issue it all with this. Better to have Lindgren hold a 40-man spot than Chase d'Arnaud. 805449594674892800

As we've pondered trades in the post couple weeks, I've been wondering . . . do the Braves have adequate innings to give their MiLB SPs in light of current depth? Below is the best scenario I could come up with, which leads to 6 arms at each level. I'm sure I've managed to forget someone...

I assume this is a waiver claim given it's Rule 5 roster setting day? Only thing I can figure is that he has one or more options remaining and they want to stash him in AAA. 799689536280363008

I like the deal at this number. It's an arbitration-level contract, so not fully guaranteed. If for whatever reason they have a change of heart, he can be released in February for one sixth of the guaranteed money. I suspect his roster spot was tenuous, so the Braves made him an early (and...

This is very good news. 793952015479017474 793952544359755777 793952993053790208

Bradley was one of the more interesting cases when it comes to 40-man roster decisions. Decision made. 784463634990632960

As usual, a pretty enlightening Twitter session from Coppy this afternoon. Here's what I took from it . . . - He said we'll have more money to spend coming into the offseason than at any time in the past 10 years. Since our budget seemed to top out around $110m several years ago, I'm...

These are the main points I took from the podcast . . . - They see an 80 plus win team next year and feel good that they have the assets to make that possible. - Budget is in place for 2017, and will be bigger than 2016. - Albies with broken elbow. Doesn't sound like it will jeopardize...

Now that we're through the non-waiver trade deadline, I thought it would be interesting to look at the roster management situation we'll face going into the offseason. I've broken out sections below for those I feel will be released, those that are locks to be on the roster, and those that are...

As usual, a ton of info from Coppy and very candid. After hearing this, I'm now a little more nervous that Inciarte will be traded before the deadline. When asked what the Braves would look for in free agency, Coppy said they'd focus on value signings and gave this list: at least one and...

Blair starts it off with a 1, 2, 3 frame.

Some of the details on Olivera are particularly interesting . . . http://www.todaysknuckleball.com/inside-baseball-with-jon-heyman/harper-machado/

735550934437265408 He was off to a rough start at AAA, so I suppose the Mets thought now was the time to sneak him through waivers. His MiLB K rate against LHH is eye-popping: 14.25. Like it.

If Kelly falters today, his spot comes up next on Saturday. Tyrell Jenkins would be on regular rest Saturday, and he'd be pretty safely past the Super Two cutoff. With that said, hoping Kelly can do well and build some modest value.
