That is based off this years payroll
It's been the MO of Liberty. They might change, but it seems unlikely. The team is a purely business investment for them.
They're actually completely uninvolved period. I think I've heard they can't infuse payroll either once you're in season. So, they're a standby that does nothing.
They will probably set a budget again and will want to try to avoid using 15-20 million of it until the deadine. So, it might be 1 big deal period.
That is somewhat true. The payroll is set by Liberty in Denver though. Braves' management is allotted a budget. They won't come right out and admit it though. I used to trade stocks and it was like pulling teeth to get their investor relations officer to admit as much.
Yeah you’re right, Liberty is very hands off.
Who would you like to see us go after?
They are hands off as far as how the money is spent once allocated, but they control the budget.
The thing that I know is they will not do what most want or most would guess.
I'd like to not see a full on catching platoon again. I almost want Grandal more than Donaldson.
Almost being the key word. I know having Donaldson didn't help Freddie against St. Louis but he was critical to winning the division.
Just think, we could be hosting game 1 tonight against the Nats......
Snitker is NL manager of the year. They must not take the post season into account.
Sporting News award is voted on by his fellow managers. Can't imagine a more satisfying award to receive.
I know the post season loss was painful and just one more failure in a long list, but congratulations to Snit. It's a great honor and couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
I'm still salty. Hurts even more that it's the nationals in there. I think we could have beat them in the NLCS. He is very deserving of the award though since no one thought we would be in the playoffs.
I'm just thankful Harper isn't on the Nationals. That would've made it 100 times worse.
I hear ya bro. Been a fan since '83 so I've shared in the suffering over the years.
Gonna hurt even more when the Nats beat the 'Stros. I thought there was zero chance of that a month ago but Washington is peaking right now and sometimes that's all it takes.
Feel free to OT but seeing as how it was his thread does anyone know what happened to WC? Last I saw he was suspended not banned, but the hammer has come around full swing apparently.
He was particularly rambunctious one day
He told one too many people to eff off
Ah, well that will definitely do it
He will be back wearing a disguise soon
and when he reaches 3k posts in a month he will reveal himself
