According to Mark Bowman on twitter.

Big if true.

This is actually a really good thing. Great guy to have around your team, no downside, fan favorite.

Remember when we thought the Braves had enough money to add a BP arm for $5M+?

It was great to be so naive!

Signing Moylan says absolutely nothing about what we have to spend.

 

[CyYoung31]

This is a really down under the radar signing.

LOL are you still denying the Braves have almost no money to spend?

I think what he means is that the Braves would likely have interest in Moylan regardless if we had only 5 million to spend or 50 million.

This. I have no idea how much we have to spend. Just saying what we have to spend isn't related to trying to sign Moylan.

Let Moylan coach

 

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

I thought this was from last year for a sec...or maybe the year before.

Why do the Braves have to bring back the same four guys every other year?

This is the year Emilio Bonifacio finally breaks out.

Moylan has signed with the Braves per Crasnick

 

[nsacpi]

We officially have a theme for the 2018 season: Return of the Moylan

 

[Chico]

This one has seemed like a given all offseason.

With all the young guys we have in the pen it's a good signing

 

[UNCBlue012]

I think it's a really good signing. I'm more than happy with it!

 

[Enscheff]

Huge!

 

[Carp]

We were pretty awful against RHH last year and Moylan is still on the best in the business and getting RHH out. If he stays healthy, he'll likely be a steal.

 

[Braves1976]

"The Braves have designated righty Mauricio Cabrera for assignment, per a club announcement (h/t David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, on Twitter). His roster spot will go to fellow right-hander Peter Moylan, whose signing is now official."

Why drop Cabrera this soon? I know he is out of options. But I was hoping he get a shot at least.

I wonder if he lost some velocity or something making it less likely he sticks either way.
