International News, Rumor and Signing Thread

So if they signed every player for 300k they'd have been fine even if they went over pool limit?

How does that compare with us getting ready to go past the cap?

They would have been fine if everybody DID sign for 300k or less, but they didnt- RS gave money to trainers or cheated in some other way to get $$ to the players. That doesn't amtter to us this year bc we aren't limited to 300k a player.The RS were, however, restricted last year because they went over their cap by a lot in the 2014-2015 signing period.

I'm pretty sure they still can't go past their total pool, but in addition they also can't sign anybody within that group for more than the 300K.

We're going to get Maitan.

So we're gonna go way over and next year we'll be limited to 300k a player?

Unknown what next year will bring with the new CBA being negotiated this upcoming off-season. May not be any consequences for the Braves going over in the end.

Yes. Unless the CBA is changed and the rules change- which I think will happen.
Thats why this year is a good year to go over. We might get penalized even more, but we might not get penalized at all.

A lot of things could change with the new CBA, under the old system -- yes we wouldn't be able to go over 300k for any player next year and I think the year after as well.

Nobody seems to know what'll happen in the new system. I have heard people speculate that MLB will impose some type of restriction on teams that go over this cycle, but again nobody seems to really know.

I still think they are in on others. they are said to be ready to blow past their pool... and I don't think what they are listed to is 'blowing' past..
