The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness my old friend

[Volfan1000]

AA sends Stassi and cash to the White Sox for a player to be named later.

 

[Volfan1000]

Still a starter (or two) short and looking at 2025 without Fried or Morton.

I think AA waits until the 2024 off season to address the losses of Fried and Morton.

 

[Volfan1000]

I don’t really love that he plays, but Ronnie is scorching the Venezuelan winter league. Almost 1.500 OPS

Ronnie is a baseball nut.

So Roki Sasaki most likely won’t be posted next year but teams are indicating he will next year

Need new blood in the secondary (young guys/transfers) so I’m fine with it. Also if we want guys to transfer in we need guys to transfer out.

I hate to see any of them go, but I'm not sure there's anybody from the LB/DB group we were playing at the end of the year that's a huge loss.

Exactly

I know they're not safeties, but time for guys like Jordan Matthews and Rickey Gibson to step up.

It sounds a little crazy, but I wonder if we might see more middle of the road guys move around. A lot of Jrs and Srs with limited NFL potential out there that missed out on NIL in recruiting may want to test the market to see if anybody will fork over some cash before their earnings window closes. We always expected some of the good ones to basically go free agent. Might be a little lower end P5 and G5 money available for some guys that are stuck in SEC depth charts? G5 collectives actually do exist.

This shouldn't be allowed.

 

[volsarelife1]

Holy ****

 

[zjcvols]

This shouldn't be allowed.

Nope it shouldn’t!

 

[Blake25p]

Holy ****

This is bulls**t, MLB needs to do something about this.

 

[GAVol]

Why in the world would anybody defer 97% of the money for 10 YEARS?! lol

Just crapped all over the Luxury Tax.

 

[zjcvols]

But it doesn’t matter!

 

[zjcvols]

Why in the world would anybody defer 97% of the money? Ridiculous.

Because Ohtani “allegedly” makes $50M a year in offseason ventures

Trading insane future value.

Had to be part of the calculation of the total.

This shouldn't be allowed.

What till you see what THE WIZARD Alex Anthropauliolos has up his sleeve!!

 

[zjcvols]

So what?

Who on earth trades off the future value of $680 million?

I can’t believe he agreed to 0 interest. Insane

 

[raw dog]

I can’t believe he agreed to 0 interest. Insane

What was the idiot who signed on for 700 million to play baseball thinking!!

 

[GAVol]

I can’t believe he agreed to 0 interest. Insane

They might say it’s zero interest but that’s obviously why everybody was talking $500M and then the deal got done for “$700M”. This is effectively a $500M deal deferred 10 years with a rate of return built in. Whether you call it that or not, that’s what it is.
