    instead of Suzuki..

    I'm still not clear on whether they'll be restricted on how much they can pay out on draft picks next year. Not having the full allotment to spend is why they low balled Stewart and why he chose to go to college.
    I know the team will still be restricted in it's international dealings in 2019 and 2020, but whether it has the ability to pay 2 players early 1st rd market value is something I haven't been able to learn so far.

    I think/thought that the Braves only restrictions on what they can spend was in the international market. That is going to put a large dent in their farm system for a few years. They'll have to go more with college type players than their preferred route of signing HS kids. I think this goof-up in signing this wonderful prospect had mostly to do with medical issues. If they tried to lowball him as much as reported, it was pretty dumb.
