With that being the case, you almost have to feel like are feeding the media this type of information, to get the Braves to budge. In no way could the Rays be favorites. I also don't think these tactics have any chance of working with AA.

I'm less worried about Bauer after reading about his spike in spin rate. Bauer’s spin rate has increased the last two years, and went through the roof last year. He tweeted about how he could increase his spin rate with pine tar in 2018...
2018: 2,373 rpm average spin rate on his fastball
2019: 2,412 rpm average spin rate on his fastball
2020: 2,776 rpm average spin rate on his fastball

Call it dramatic but hype Braves need a big move or two to truly compete with the Dodgers now, even given their losses in depth (Joc, Kike).

Man, I really would like to have his patience in the middle of our lineup. His PAs in the playoffs last year were pure torture to watch... he was so patient, and seemed to always square one up
IF and that’s a big IF, he replicated this pas season then ya I don’t see anyone competing with them barring injuries.
If we don’t add a bat then we wouldn’t of been able to anyways but now they have a ton of pitching depth to go along with two aces.

Was fun to follow. He played the signing announcement well. That rotation has a lot of options...

How could they re-sign JT?
Trevor Bauer's three-year deal with the Dodgers is for $102 million guaranteed -- and for $40 million in 2021 and $45 million in 2022. He can opt out after each year, meaning he'll make $40M if he opts out this year, $85M if he does so after 2022 and $102M if he stays all three.

This is why we need a hard salary cap. The Dodgers will just pay the penalty over and not care. They print their own money.

So was the Dodgers pitching rotation
Very interesting contract for Bauer. Looks like he set himself to go tear to year, and got a nice guarantee to fall back on. Well done on his part.
The Turner and Ozuna dominos should fall soon now.
I’m betting the Braves get one of them on a 1-2 year deal, and everyone crying the last few days will have to find something else to ignorantly complain about.

Conforto, Davis, Nimmo, Martinez. They’ll make room for Ozuna. The Dodgers will continue to f us from multiple angles.

I bet we end up with Turner. He’s priced out in LA, and the Mets will throw their Monopoly money at Ozuna. We’ll likely get the Mets sloppy seconds to allow the price on one of them to come down.
