      These are ridiculous demands, especially the Atlanta one.

      • From MLBTR regarding a Braves event:

        Most tantalizing, however, were Anthopoulos’s comments regarding one possible swap that’s evidently in the works. “There’s one trade concept right now that 70% of the deal we would agree to, the 30% is probably where we are going back and forth,” he said. “I don’t know if we are going to get it done, but the main piece of the deal I think we ultimately would be ok, it’s the add on.” Certainly, this not-yet-completed arrangement could involve any number of possible players, but it’s at least notable to learn that there could soon be some action.
        Could this be JT related?

          Hopefully. Also makes sense. Riley and Anderson is an objectively great 1-2 get, adding Inciarte/Swanson is ludicrous unless the Marlins are giving them Conley, Steckenrider, "and" probably something else pretty meaty.

          Marlins should take Riley, Anderson, Wentz/Allard/Muller, and say A. Jackson and Diddler (both relative FV40 non-prospects. Diddler not even picked in Rule V), and throw in Conley. And Straily if they want him.

            The "add on" has been the issue since Nov

            Marlins wanted Albies for JT. Lowered it to Riley/Anderson/1 of Swanson,Inciarte,Newcomb to which they were countered with Riley/Anderson/1 of Wentz/Muller/WIlson/Touki?(SP Prospect)

            This is why Mish says Braves are favorite and Bowman says they havent talked in a while. Both things are true-Braves are FAVE but neither team has come off the offer so they havent talked lately with Miami hoping Philly signing Harper makes Atlanta panic

            No chance in hell about Inciarte but maybe Swanson?

            Should note the FO is charging Atlanta an "overpay" fee because they are in the NL East. If they were in AL East deal would probably been done Nov for Riley/Anderson/Mueller/low level prospect

            - - - - - - - - - -

            The same issue is with Houston

            Marlins wanted Tucker AND Whitley for JT. Lowered it to Tucker,C and 2 of James,Martin,Perez,Nova while Houston is offering Tucker,C,1 SP but like JB or Javier and 1 lesser prospect

            - - - - - - - - - -

            Issue with TB is less complicated. Marlins want Jesus Sanchez and TB has NOT included him yet

            Marlins want Sanchez,Brandon Lowe,SP,C.

            TB has tons of options at
            C-Zunino,Perez,Ciuffo,Hernandez
            SP-Liberatore,McClanahan,Baz
            MIF-Lowe,Solak,Brujan,Arroyo,Fox

            Just waiting for Sanchez-if TB offers him in a deal something could move quickly with them

            - - - - - - - - - -

            By way for Lee-I know we don't need any SP but they want them in JT deal and NO we aren't asking for any 25 yr olds in A Ball

            • FYI, the only team that has offered Manny Machado a contract is the White Sox and it’s for 7/175.

                Marlins should be all over this with their payroll bandwidth at that price. Give him 10/$250 with a 5 year opt-out. See what happens.

                You're signing a hall of famer.

                  It’s quite possible he’ll end up signing a shorter term deal. And I agree with you.

                    8/215-225 with 4 yr opt out. I don't know how we aren't the mystery team if the price is 7/175

                    Money to burn starting in 2020(40-60 million to spend)
                    No SS in system for 4 years(Devers Maybe)
                    Marketing Machine/Face of Team (Mr.Miami)

                    If Mas owned team Machado would be hearing at that price already-he would have gave him 10/300

                    • It's infuriating if he's at 7/175 and we don't try to sign him.

                      We have plenty of flexibility, you do the Werth thing and sign him a year early. He is supposed to be going to the top offer regardless of team, so offer him more, plus we're the home team. He'd sign in a heartbeat.

                        The Rays should be all over him for 2/$75. Imagine how fast Lee's pants get unzipped.

                        Not to split hairs, but 5 year opt out. Blow money in 19 and 20, to secure the guy for a 3 year contending window 21-23. You don't want just two in case feet are still getting wet in 21.

                        It could happen with a good Realmuto trade, a smart SP acquisition (there will be many opportunities), and some $8-12 million 1 year free agent types. They could do it around $100 million overall.

                        • If the Braves are offering a package of Riley, Anderson, and Toussaint, it should be done already. That's a really good haul.

                            100%, and that includes chucking in Conley, Rojas, Straily, Steckenrider... any one of them

                            • They need to jump all over Riley, anderson, and a 3rd prospect or 2 lesser prospects immediately. Their insistence on getting an MLB player back in the jt deal is unbelievably stupid.

                              Give me Riley, Anderson, Contreras, and one of their other SP guys and lets fucking move on.

                                That's how you pump up a team w/o a $300M contract!
