The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness

[TBrown]

Oh man

 

[TBrown]

Good deal on its face but again a misuse of limited resources

 

[AV_12]

I’m not sure about that one… $8 Million isn’t backup money either so he’s playing that out…

That’s money that could be used for DH/Outfield help or Starter

 

[AV_12]

And I love TDA

 

[vols 30]

Two years/$16M…2024 club option with no buyout for $8M…

Surprised he got a second year with Shea and Willy on the horizon…

I'm surprised he got a new contract at all. Willy needs a 2nd chance, and Shea is ready

 

[Florida Stanley]

That’s a weird move, man. I and really like TDA but I can’t behind this one. Shea and Willy are more than capable. Guess that means Willy is gone.

 

[Blake25p]

Y’all will find anything to complain about, $8Mil is a reasonable price for TDA.

Don't have a problem with that move at all.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Not in love with 2 years for TDA but the price isn't bad.

 

[zjcvols]

I don’t have a problem bringing him back for next year. But the fully guaranteed for 2023 is odd.

I would have rather done something like 1 year/$11M and a clup option for $12M in 2023 and a $2M buyout or something like that

I like it. He’s another guy that you can play at DH and not just be playing a scrub.

Hadn't thought of this, but maybe he's the DH in 23

 

[zjcvols]

That could be the case.

 

[05_never_again]

Damn, I forgot he hit .321 last year. Limited games but still

 

[Florida Stanley]

Why aren’t Shea and/or Willy ready next year again? Because DOB said so?

 

[zjcvols]

Why aren’t Shea and/or Willy ready next year again? Because DOB said so?

Because catchers take longer to develop unless you’re Buster Posey

 

[zjcvols]

And both those guys lost a full year of game development in 2020.

 

[Florida Stanley]

That could be the case.

I really hope he isn’t our plan for DH.

 

[Florida Stanley]

Because catchers take longer to develop unless you’re Buster Posey

I don’t know which Shea you’ve been following but the one I’ve been following is a couple months of continued good play away from ready

 

[Florida Stanley]

Shea may be the best defensive catcher on the planet right now. But gonna need you ride the bus across the country another year until you hit .300

 

[TBrown]

They’re both ready next March, no question.

 

[Florida Stanley]

You know the other Braves catcher who went from AA straight to the show?

Brian Damn McCann

 

[Florida Stanley]

They’re both ready next March, no question.
