I don’t understand hill to the Yankees
Why would they drop 50mil on a 37 year old with injury history when they are 2-3 years(imo) from serious contention and when they could save for that insane FA class next year

I think you’re thinking of the class that is two years out – Harper, Machado, Donaldson, etc

Actually next year is pretty rich with pitching. Arrieta, Darvish and others.

Yea my mistake
halos101
cannot wait for that year. hoping there’s no extensions cause that off-season would be insane

Because money is an issue for the Yankees lol.
padreforlife
Because what they charge for tickets they have to try and competed
bernbabybern
Because the Yankees are not going to totally punt any year and go 100% rebuild.

Also, if they are bad they can flip him.

Castro is who I have wanted the Braves to make a run at since Cervelli reupped with the Pirates and the Yankees eouldnt move Sanchez for Tehran. I think Castro would compliment Flowers very well.
But I would also like to see the Braves make a move for a catcher of the future type. Not neccessarily for this year but somebody to develop in the minors for a couple years.
With Sanchez establishing himself maybe their other prospect Torrens they have could be available. Maybe Vizzy for him.

Braves blew it when they drafted Anderson instead of Zack Collins…idiots! Braves should take a chance of Jae-gyun Hwang if cost is under $4mil/yr.

Not sure I would jump to, they blew it! Anderson pick allowed them to sign Muller and Wentz.. I think they will go hard after hitters this draft..

As BRAVES fans I think we should look at the Royals, Cubs and Indians. We were spoiled for 20yrs with competitive baseball.. yes, this year was hard to watch until September but I think ATL is on a faster pace back to contention than those 3 teams were.. give Coppy a chance!
chesteraarthur
then the cubs were as in 108 years? Or from when Theo took over. Because they are definitey not on a faster pace than from that.
Their rebuild strategy of going after a large amount of arms, especially highschool ones (the most volatile type of assest) is foolish

Interesting that a couple of seasons ago, Rich Hill was a “pick-me-up” by the Yankees; pitched well in relief and I was surprised that the Yankees did not keep him. Now according to this post, he is due a $50 million payday from the Yankees, if they decide to sign him. I’m not inclined to sign him because he isn’t likely to give your team a full season, but he can pitch when healthy. Very intriguing backstory from a transition from a pick-me-up pitcher to awaiting a big paycheck.

You can’t really say he pitched well with the Yankees if he only had 5 innings.

ATL stay away from McCann. You need to build your own homegrown Catcher. No one has been great at this position on your team since Javy Lopez……..
