The Atlanta Braves

[zjcvols]

Padres bidding against themselves at 300 ha

Didn’t a report come out saying Machado was offered 8/240? Seems like nobody else was close to $300M

Teheran/Gohara for Myers AA make it happen

Contracts shed this offseason:

Adrian Gonzalez $22.4MM
Scott Kazmir $17.7MM

Picked up $7MM on Nick Markakis
Picked up $1.5MM from Kurt to Bmac

I’m not a numbers guy () but that’s $60MM

It’s kind of crazy that AA didn’t even take a shot at it. Like if you asked me would I rather have those 3 or Bryce I’d take Bryce in a freaking heartbeat.

I cannot wait for the Julio Teheran podcast after basketball season is over April 8th

Payroll is $15M less right now than where it was st the end of the year. If you take out Donaldson’s $23M, that’s $38M you could have spent on Bryce.

Oh and we could have shedded O’Day’s $9 easy with a decent prospect attached.

Make sure to include the ace Folty.

Any chance the Braves go after Keuchel?

I dont mind the Donaldson and Mccan signings. Its the fact that we have done nothing else. There was still plenty of money to sign a guy like Brantley or go after Marwin Gonzalez or AJ Pollock, or lastly trade for Haniger. Even if we end up signing Kimbrel this was still a pretty meh offseason

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Any chance the Braves go after Keuchel?

We need to. If we not we are extremely right handed heavy in the rotation and he is a veteran who has been to the playoffs that could help mentor the young guys

 

[zjcvols]

Any chance the Braves go after Keuchel?

Most likely not and unless it’s a 1/2 year deal I would pass.

 

[zjcvols]

So I did some lineup construction reading last night, and I think I found the lineup I like

Acuna
Donaldson
Markakis
Freeman
Albies
Swanson
Catcher
Pitcher
Ender

Surely Mike Trout will not stay in LA.
