Yeah with certain players you unload as soon as you get the value you want. Can't play the long game with every player.Quote:

His start to the year in AAA is promising.
Wonder if the Red Sox would have interest in aj in addition to grilli. Hanigan is having an abysmal season hittingQuote:

Just curious since I don't know the contract but how does he still get paid if he retired? I didn't think you got anything unless the team straight up released you and it was guaranteed money. Again I am completely ignorant on baseball contracts.Quote:

Ummm...obviously. You don't bring him up and start his clock for one damn start. Cahill and/or Stults to the pen, Folty stays in the rotation.Quote:

If you mean that in terms of him being "out of options" in a couple years then it won't matter cuz he is expected to be up and doing his thing by then. If you mean it in terms of his "years under control" then it won't matter, it's late enough already that this won't count as a year of service time...just ask the cubs and Bryant.Quote:

Roster move: #Braves purchase the contract of INF Pedro Ciriaco (#13) from @GwinnettBraves and option LHP Ian Thomas to Gwinnett.
My boy made it.
He was up for 1-2 months last year, so he will go over 1 year if he stays up until the end of the year. You can still keep him under a year if you play it right.Quote:

Ok. I wonder if Peterson can play 3rd. I want peraza at 2b when he gets the call.Quote:
