Passan just said the Braves may be the best fit for Bichette bc they can move him to 2b after Albies deal is up.

This is sound logic, but I seriously doubt they give any FA $200M+.

But I'm in the group that thinks AA has much less to spend than we are all hoping, so maybe he has a ton of cash and can shop outside the bargain aisle.
 
Tonight at 6 EST is the deadline to set the 40-man for Rule 5 purposes. Mayo and Callis have Ian Mejia as the Braves "toughest" 40-man decision. I won't be upset if they don't protect him. I'm assuming Burkhalter will be added though.

The Braves nabbed Mejia as an 11th-round pick out of New Mexico State in 2022 and he’s coming off a very good year, spent almost entirely with Double-A Mississippi, in which he finished third in the Southern League in ERA (2.62) and WHIP (1.06). He’s also topped 120 innings in each of his three seasons, but he doesn’t miss a ton of bats and throws his slider more than his fringy fastball, giving him a lower ceiling.

Bichette is prettty young. He's probably the guy it would make most sense to sign if you were doing a premium free agent thing.

The bat still plays at second and you could probably have a whole late inning plan in place for a year. ... if the defense really bothered you.
