@Ken_Rosenthal
Source says Grilli deal with #Braves is for two years with a club option for a third.

Really?

 

[Hawk]

Mods please merge haha.

 

[TXBravesFan]

2 years with a club option for a 3rd?

Wasn't as bad last year as I initially thought. Still 38 years old.

 

[dak]

Not surprised we signed Grilli since it was rumored, but 2 years w/ option? He's 38. Serenity now . . . serenity now.

 

[chop2chip]

I want to know which prospects we bought with this contract when we trade him in July.

I'll wait until then before I give my opinion on the move.

 

[MadduxFanII]

What in the bloody hell....

So:

Kimbrel
Grilli
Johnson
Carpenter
Russell
Simmons
Shreve/Kohn/Avilan/Vizcaino

Posting in Crimson's thread instead of Hawk's because eff Hawk.

I like Grilli as a veteran arm for the pen but 2 guaranteed years? Geez Hart. But how many RH arms do we need for the pen? Johnson, Grilli, Carpenter, Simmons, Kohn, Vizcaino, Hale

Sure seems like we're now back in a position where we trade a reliever. All speculation on trading Kimbrel has been squashed pretty quickly by the media w/ sources in our FO. So I guess that leaves us with Carpenter or Russell.

 

[thewupk]

Not a big deal to me since the team is in 'meh' mode for two years. Maybe we can flip him later.

Hale?

 

[Julio3000]

Gary Sheffield. That is all.

 

[cajunrevenge]

Spring training is going to be fun this year.

 

[skillet]

Hale?

Well yes but for now, until we get a 5th starter, he is slotted in that role. Steamer projects a 2.86 ERA for Grilli next year.
