And they are getting rid of everyone posters wanted to get rid of

Yes, I love it. Addition by subtraction. Obviously they need to now add at 3 bats. I am sure they will. Hopefully they are all impact bats. I do find it funny that they made Jerry shed current contracts first to make sure he could do it before adding new money instead of the other way around like they didn't trust that he could do it. LOL Now he is at a disadvantage in negotiations because teams and agents know we are desperate to add bats.

It has to be in preparation for a trade and some signings...

If it's just to lower salary we don't really need to root for the team anymore.

“Our payroll is very likely to be higher than it was a year ago,” Dipoto said. “But we needed to create flexibility if we wanted to do things that could make us meaningfully better.”

Again, they didn't have to do this FIRST, Stanton ordered them to do it this way.

I am also happy I was wrong about them just throwing Marco into the rotation after they trade a current SP for a bat.

Wild the Braves traded Kyle Wright who was 10th in CY Young voting in 2022 for Kowar....

Oh man, what a great night in the Twitter comments section.

Classic. The Kelenitwits are losing their minds. They can't imagine how the Mariners would give Kelenic up to save themselves $30M.

Can't wait to go read them!

This guy is usually level headed but this is how delusional people are about JK. btw he is almost 24.5 years old and while he probably can be a Uber driver, there is a good chance he would get involved in a road rage incident given his mentality. Uber talent. lol

A lot of you like to whine just to whine apparently. All you do is complain about the pieces we lost - but we haven't lost anything yet of any value. We lost Suarez, Gonzales, Kelenic, and White - they are all bad players. They were all people that nobody wanted on the team going forward. So we have lost NOTHING. The only irritating thing, again, is that we have jettisoned these players and got back almost nothing in return. THAT is the only thing to raise your hackles about. Celebrate they are gone cause they had no place on the team to begin with. Lets see what happens from now before we bit** like little girls about the moves so far lol.
