Official off-season trade rumor and suggestion thread

Enscheff said:
Moncada would not sign for 4/60, he would sign for a one time bonus. The Braves would be taxed only on the amount of that bonus over their allotted international spending amount. That is why folks thought it was a big deal when the Braves traded TLS to the Cubs for $800k in international pool money. Any amount added to that pool was essentially worth "double" since it would also reduce the portion of the bonus taxed at 100%.

If Moncada is signed he becomes just like any other amateur acquired through the draft or international market. He would go to the minors and be subject to the same 6 years of team control at the MLB level, arbitration, the whole 9 yards.

The reason Tomas is different is because he has spent enough years in professional baseball in Cuba, so he is no longer considered an amateur. He is considered a regular FA for all intents and purposes of this discussion.

Ah gotcha, thank you much for the clarification. It's hard to find that stuff online worded simply (or simply enough for me).
 
Garin Cecchini from the sox? They have filled up 3B and OF. Looking for rotation help. Could we give a minor + CJ contract for Cecchini and a pitching prospect
 
Should have just gave Heyward 250 million.

Other than our pitching, aint much to get excited about going forward.
 
I predict a deal with the Astros:

BJ Upton, Gattis and some cash

for

Dexter Fowler and Rio Ruiz

Sign Markakis to a 4 year 45 million dollar deal. Sign Peavy to a one year deal. Stick with Justin for one more season. I think that would allow us to be competitive next year and give us a lot of flexibility for 2017 and beyond.

Not surprisingly, Ervin Santana looking for as long of a deal as possible: Five years.
