those teams got better by picking top5 yearly, for many years. u better have a deeper franchise of talent when ur getting the top kids.


But the Braves aren't following the exact same plan as those teams. The Braves are also clearing salary for the year they start at the new park so they will simultaneously have the cleared salary and the new ballpark revenue and will go on a spending spree. The Braves won't lean as heavily on their farm system as other teams that rebuilt.

The Dodgers‘ July pitching acquisitions haven’t worked out whatsoever to this point, writes ESPN Los Angeles’ Mark Saxon. Though Luis Avilan has tossed four reasonably effective relief innings, Mat Latos and Alex Wood have both struggled, while Jim Johnson has reverted to his disastrous 2014 form. As Saxon points out, Johnson did have very strong numbers in Atlanta, so it’s tough to fault the team for targeting him. He also points out that Dodgers GM Farhan Zaidi must be a fan of Johnson, as he’s now been part of two front offices that have traded for Johnson in two years.
