You're pretty much right.

twins might sign phil hughes next though.
Mauer's deal FAR EXCEEDS any contract the Braves have signed anyone to. Not really even close. Not saying that they're not tight, but referencing his deal is a bad idea - that's the highest contract ever given to a Catcher by ANYONE (including the Yankees). It was the 8th highest deal EVER signed at the time.
Mauer's $184 million is the equivalent of 31.83% of what Forbes has the franchise valued at and his base salary was 28% of their entire 2013 Opening Day payroll.
Dayton Moore receives another lifeline. 2 year extension.

Good news for those who wanted Ayala gone, we have competition:
Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that the Rays and Red Sox have expressed interested in free agent right-hander Luis Ayala.
The Orioles, Dodgers, Giants, Phillies and Braves have also expressed interest this offseason. The 35-year-old struggled a bit last season, posting a 3.27 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 22/13 K/BB ratio over 33 innings. He should have no problem securing a one-year major league deal.

Why are we not in on him? For that matter, why are we not mentioned with anyone it seems?
Chris Cotillo of MLB Daily Dish reports that the Orioles, Indians, Cubs and Phillies are interested in free agent reliever Edward Mujica.
Cotillo notes that Mujica is expected to receive a contract similar to the three-year, $15.75 million deal that Joe Smith inked with the Angels. The 29-year-old right-hander notched 37 saves for the Cardinals this season, while posting a 2.78 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and impeccable 46/5 K/BB ratio in 64 2/3 innings. His fantasy value will be entirely dependent on how close he is to save chances in the respective bullpen he winds up in.

The Braves are extremely deep in RHP. The RHP who could potentially competing for bullpen spots in spring training include: Kimbrel, Walden, Carpenter, Varvaro, Gearrin, Hale, Graham, Northcraft, Schlosser, Martin, Jaime, Vasquez, Lamm, Harper, Simmons, Obispo.
Under those circumstances it doesn't make sense to pursue guys like Mujica and Ayala. Nothing wrong with them. Just that we have a ton of young RHP who are ready or almost ready for the majors. Of course, Wren and company love to have that veteran guy in the pen. So we might see a Durbinator type guy brought in. I hope not, but that is the MO of our front office.

Yep, sometimes the best move are the ones you don't make.
