Yeah, I just posted that..So looking at the Braves. They non tendered Ramón Laureano who then became one of the best players made available in some pundits opinions. That's what he hit for Atlanta this last season after they traded for him .296 /.327 /.505/ .831 with a 128 ops+. They still seem to be banking on our boy JK.

And you will like this..
Atlanta Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos sent Braves Country into a bit of a frenzy during his end-of-the-year press conference when he stated the team's payroll would increase. That's caused a lot of pundits to ask who the Braves might be planning to target in MLB free agency.

I see that now. Sodo is really the only functional M's blog right now isn't it? LL just post links to other stories and calls it Moose tracks. I have no idea why it even exists.

Who was the source on Adam Jude's budget projection for the Mariners?

I was thinking the same thing, particularly compared to Field Gulls. FGs pumps out content 12 months a year, you really feel a dedication. There's something odd, I think there's issues with lookout landing, lack of staff or something. SB nation is a bit of a racket I think. They have over 300 of those sites, that same model. They get people to contribute content without having to pay them much, make money off of the advertising. I think there's something going on with lookout landing and their content providers. Need to get the AI fired up

12th man rising is very good as well.

Here are some under the radar 3B candidates. We could trade for Urias (I know not another Urias!) straight up for Randy to replace Santander. Not great but much better than last year's shit show at 3B.

None of those guys really moves the needle. What we need is impact bats.

That's probably not happening unless they trade a pitcher.

Ànd you don't really need impact bats, just bats would be a big improvement, a solid lineup
