The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[zjcvols]

Would have rather kept Zuk

 

[TBrown]

Love Heap but......boy that is underwhelming

We have two backup catchers

Again

“To play? Or a one day contract to retire?” Made me lol...sadly

 

[zjcvols]

We have two backup catchers

And Mac hasn’t stayed healthy the last two years. Just not a big fan of this move.

 

[zjcvols]

Must have a lot of faith in Contreras if they sign Mac this early and didn’t even look at Grandal or Realmuto.

Been trying on JTR for a while. Asking price without division is astronomical.

So we’re done at catcher. This has to be a super cheap deal. Better be in the Bryce/Corbin market. Can’t sign McCann and Brantley and think everything is cool.

Seems like a way to make the common fan happy while not spending much money elsewhere.

Gonna be a trade.

Oh ****

Donaldson for one year? Sign me up

 

[Kingston Vol]

At the very least we’re gonna have a legit bench this year.

 

[CagleMtnVol]

I'm betting that Realmuto will be available again before the deadline next season. Marlins however needs to get it out of there head that Acuna, Albies etc will be part of the deal.

 

[TBrown]

Josh Donaldson DONE

 

[TBrown]

DONALDSON USE TO CATCH !!

 

[TBrown]

Brantley
Acuna
Freddie
Donaldson
Albies
McCann/Flowers
Ender
Dansby

 

[Kingston Vol]

God that’s a lot of money for Donaldson.

 

[Regulator]

God that’s a lot of money for Donaldson.

Look at it as getting both McCann and Donaldson for $25 mil and only one year for each.

One year tho

All gravy

Two needs. Still $30MM to burn

 

[LotteryPick]

Donaldson I am LIT

 

[zjcvols]

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A BAD ONE YEAR DEAL.

Rather pay him $23M this year than 3/$36 or something like that.

It’s not a shoulder or hip injury. It was a calf. And he can still rake. Plus our bench can now be a strength.

Love it

 

[TBrown]

Waiting for AV

 

[Kingston Vol]

One year tho

All gravy

Yeah I’m excited to have him.

Just hope that number doesn’t impede other deals.
