Leaving a hole in the rotation on opening day to save money for the deadline is nonsense. The Braves are guaranteed to be contenders right now. They are not guaranteed to be contenders at the deadline.

Preach it, brother Enscheff. Plus, the Braves haven't spent a significant amount at the deadline since 2022 (Iggy, Odorizzi, Grossman, etc.).

Unless one of those remaining starters are dirt cheap, I don't see the reason to invest in one of them. I would rather trade for an impact guy or roll with our backend guys until the deadline

AA didn’t have $20m for Bassitt?

I think we're about 23ish million below the 3rd CBT threshold. Signing Bassitt for 18.5m would have left us like 5 million to make in season trades.

I'm not defending the reasoning. I'm just pointing out why he likely wasn't an option at that price.

I think you have to address the rotation before the season starts with a quality option and if you need to make some in-season additions, you pay a little extra in prospect capital to get the other team to cover the contract for the remainder of the season. Or you simply target cheaper players at the deadline.
