Connor Joe to Dodgers

Interesting that we are acquiring slot money even though restricted to 300K in how much we can pay out to individual prospects. I guess we are signing a boatload of prospects in the 100-300K range. I like that we are trying that kind of strategy.

Go quantity in the hopes of finding a bit of quality. Given the restrictions, not a bad strategy.

Also, you build some good will with a large number of the "agents" and "runners" in expectation of future opportunities.
 
Couldn't hit a lick in his two weeks in Mississippi. Guessing Dodgers are restricted worse at ATL in international market.

I'll take 5 more Albies and Acunas for that, thanks.

Could be that or it could be that they are viewing the international money as an asset to possibly move in off-season trades. I'm fine with it either way.
 
Why would the Dodgers do this? I don't even know who this jabroni is. Also, we don't have house the 500k on one prospect. It just adds to our available pool. The braves always did prefer quantity over quantity. There are plenty of first round picks in the draft who were nothing prospects at 16.

I hadn't thought about what a harder cap on international spending might do at the lower end of the pool. I don't quite understand the parts well enough to game it out real well, but maybe harder caps will lead to more opportunity to sign midlevel guys even for penalty box teams.

I Never heard of Conor Joe until today, lol. I thought it was really Conor Lien at first. Trading Conor Lien probably wouldn't get you a bag of chips

I saw him play a few times in MS. Kind of shocked he was worth 500K. But with the Dodgers luck he will be the 2020 rookie of the year.
