Just reading twitter quotes so no context but Soto doesn’t seem super thrilled about being a Yankee

Probably because theyre a super old school hard ass franchise. The facial hair rule among other things is stupid.

Would any of you give Blake Snell, 5yrs at $100 million...?

If Uncle Charlie is worth $20M, I’d say 5/$100 would work

Just…I don’t understand the asset management man. It’s so odd.

Have mercy lol

I have to check but I don’t think we are under the second tier of the luxury tax. If we signed someone that would probably push us into it but I’d need to check

All of this for the Dudgers to have Mookie, Freddie, Ohtani to go a combined 4/58 in the playoffs to get bounced

 

[raw dog]

i just hope we have enough “assets” to trade for Adam Duvall at the break

 

[zjcvols]

Also the luxury tax penalties are not that incredibly steep. Protected payroll is at $225M. Let’s say the Braves signed Snell or Yamamoto for $32M AAV putting payroll at $257M (luxury tax is $237M). It’s 42% of your overage which would be $20M, which is $8.4M. It doesn’t starting affecting draft picks unless your $40M over. So if the Braves did decide to make a big move they would still face pretty lenient penalties.

A 26 year old reliever and a 25 year old OF that’s not in their top 15 prospects awesome
