Was listening to a Braves podcast. Said if Ozuna's suspended the whole year, that money doesnt count towards our payroll. Half the season, etc. I know it's unpopular here, but i'd take Ozuna back if he's only suspended for like 1/3 of the season or so. It'll be hard to carry Soler and Ozuna both on the roster though, in my hypothetical.

Yep, that hinders them big time from signing one of the top free agents. Wasn't sure they were going that route anyway. Just bringing back the guys they had last year would probably push them into luxury tax.
Dang, that’s a great point. Very interesting.

Baez, Stro, Thor, and a non-QO outfielder with a couple BP arms isnt a bad offseason for them.

Is crazy that last year Mets gave prospects for Lindor and then this year with so many shortstops free agent. They should trade any prospects for a different position player.

But it still leaves alot of question marks. And it's essentially the same team as last year but past the luxury tax.

Their new owner is over anxious to make a splash. There's no doubt he's the one calling the shots over there. Why do you think so many GM candidates are turning down the job. The Baez trade also looks pretty bad, especially because they will likely end up signing him also.

They didnt really trade that much for him, since they took on Carrasco too. The Baez trade was dumb though, given what they gave up. But yeah, given how deep the IF market is they could have just waited it out and kept their prospects and got a couple this winter w/o giving up anything. Will certainly be interesting what they do this offseason given they'd have to give up the 14th pick to sign someone with a QO attatched to them.

Any chance Freddie sign today or after that we can’t offer him a QO?
Found this rather interesting too. There has to be something they're seeing in the StatCast numbers that we can't though - wish the numbers-guys here could get a look at them.
He was actually eligible for the Rule V Draft last winter, so it's hard to imagine it was just the K-Rate. His WHIP and BAA dropped, and only 3 of the 11 HRs he gave up came after July 17th - wonder if that signals he added a new pitch or something they'd had him working on finally took hold? In his last 4 starts in June he struck out 8 or 9 hitters, then he only had one start in July where he struck out less than 7.

We could technically sign Freeman today before 5 ET. Doesnt seem like it though.
Rangels K rate spiked big time this year while maintaining a mid 40's GB rate. His k rate increased from his 2017 low each season some something must be 'clicking'.

this guy has made $133 million in salary in his career.
so what, 25 million a year isn't enough now? great. go braves.
if freddie freeman truly was the nicest guy in the world, why ever take any salary again? give it to charity. the whole world is ****ed if this is where we are.
FF will easily get the QO offer today assuming no extension is announced. AFAIK it doesn't stop us from still being able to sign him at anytime unlike how it was in the past.
Players deserve to be compensated at a market rate regardless of how high that number is. It would suck if he prices himself out of Atlanta's price range but I have no issue with players getting what they are worth. Baseball is a huge business and I will always support players getting that money over the owners.
