This is the first offseason I had no idea the winter meetings were ongoing. MLB is really bad.

I'm not understanding the trade of Malloy in a vacuum like this. Has to be something else coming.

AA did say he had some fruitful conversations this week. He doesnt usually say that. So maybe something is coming.

So you think the Braves traded a middling prospect to help fill a need in the BP is part of some much larger grand plan, and not just a simple trade to improve the BP?

Seems like there were likely many free agent options available to bulk up the bullpen. Malloy might have wound up being preferable to an entire season of Rosario/Ozuna.

Super shocked they traded Malloy in a deal for a reliever.

The one year of control for Jimenez is what shocks me

Yeah I know. Multiple years then ok. But just 1? There were FA that could have helped too.

Or the alternative….we are out of money (I don’t buy it)

 

[Hudson2]

We’re definitely not out of money

We are with an already top 5 payroll

They found someone to take their 300 million dollars

 

[thewupk]

Man....with these type of contracts. Is Soto gonna break 500 million in a couple of years?

 

[Tapate50]

Holy crap that’s crazy for XB

 

[brian22]

Are we up against the Dodgers for Dansby? Do they have an in-house option to replace Turner?

 

[UNCBlue012]

At this point, Dansby may seriously get like $200M and that’s insanity

 

[striker42]

Sanctions were very fair.

Go look at what every other team caught doing the exact same thing the Braves we're doing got hit with. IIRC, the Red Sox got caught the year before the Braves and got a slap on the wrist.

The Braves got their farm system nuked.

 

[bravesnumberone]

8/200 seems like the bare minimum Dansby will get and that’s insanity. He will probably get like 10/240.
