The Atlanta Braves

That’s a good deal for Toronto IMO

I'd love to know the real story of what happened and how it was so egregious that they banned his ass. There just aren't very many that have ended up on the banned list.

Chilling effect, IMO.

I don't get it. The Acuna/Ozzie contracts were highway robbery...just give Freddie the money.

I don't blame AA, but if one season causes Freddie to go I'm gonna be redneck mad

One season is a pretty big deal when it's your age 38 season and it's worth $30 million.

 

[Regulator]

Front load it and make the last couple years more palatable. Get it done.

You can’t look at it that way. You have to look at it like this: Will what Freddie gives over the next 6 years be worth 200m?

How mad would you be if someone said no?

Of course . . . I was just pointing out that the 6th year isn't some small thing. This is Freddie's last contract, so for him it's everything.

Like Regulator said front load the deal while you have good cash flow coming in and you have Acuna and Allbies on team friendly deals and Riley on the cheap. Coming off a WS title the team should make big bucks as long as the championship window stays open

lol it’s really not tho, they’re printing money. Funny money.

I meant it's a big deal for the player who is on his last contract. Checkerboard kind of minimized "one season". It's a major thing when it's your last big payday and you're not even 40 yet.

yeah big deal for Freddie but that 30 million won’t hurt ownership of management at all. Pay the man his money.

@Florida Stanley if Fred isn’t brought back

nah life will go on ha but it’d be like chipper signing elsewhere, it just wouldn’t be right ya know

Lol you lying. You gonna go crazy

 

[Weezy]

It's a corporation. If it's not good value they won't do it. And FAs on the back end of their prime are not good values.

 

[Blake25p]

If the 6th year is truly the hold up you gotta think they’ll figure out a way to get a deal done.

I’m thinking Braves are offering 6th year as a club option and FF wants it guaranteed. If he’s being as productive as I believe he will be, especially with DH in place, it would be a no brainer to me.

 

[Regulator]

He’s a key cog in a team that has a wide open window for the next 4-5 years. There’s nobody currently in the organization that could give you what he gives you, not any one free agent either, and we’re definitely taking a step backwards if he isn’t resigned. Get it done.

 

[Buzzbait]

Give him 6 with a 7 year mutual option for AAV of $30M. That’s $210M and divide or defer anyway that makes sense. Just git r done.

 

[Florida Stanley]

Lol you lying. You gonna go crazy

I’m gonna be PISSED lol

he is going to hit until he is 40

I keep saying this. Why is this hard?

 

[Florida Stanley]

Sign 6 years and if you get 4 regally good years that ALONE is worth it
