Camp ends! Finals moves TBA for Opening Day.

9:53 Matt Adams is available and, presumably, cheap. The Red Sox need power. It seems to me that picking him up is a no-brainer for the Sox. It might mean Hanley gets upset, but who cares?

9:53 I feel like it's important to understand that Matt Adams isn't very good
 
Braves officially non-tendered MAdams, Jace and Santana.

It’s odd because I was told by no fewer than a dozen posters here that MAdams has increased his trade value since the Braves acquired him. They argued endlessly for it. Any comments from those folks now?

Good with all these, though I think I would have preferred to non-tender Sam Freeman too. No regrets on the Braves trading for Adams. Very low cost, and he gave the team a boost. The arbitration system is a little off-kilter when it comes to guys with his skill set. He'll sign for less than his arbitration projection.
 
My comment on Jace from 2015:

“Jace is most likely nothing more than a useful starter while he is cheap, and his usefulness is tied directly to being cheap. As soon as he hits arb he is likely gone with Albies ready to take his place at 2B.“

Someone else called him the next Pedroia. I won’t say who.

There have been several people on here who have constantly not valued players correctly

Those people also tend to argue vociferously in favor of their ignorant opinions, and are completely uninterested in learning how to properly value players.

It's quite sad. They literally get proven that they are wrong with the way FO's around the league are operating yet are still delusional.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise folks who thought TD made Albies expendable and DPete was ever going to be an everyday LFer think they should have been protected.

No team is going to pick those guys and keep them on the MLB team all year. They are safe and will continue to be fungible assets for the Braves.

We can all breathe a sigh of relief...TD and DPete are safe.

Whew!!
