Question for all, ff you were AA what would your final offer have been to Dansby?


7/$140

I'd have gone the extra year, and this is also in response to VA's post about how much the Phillies will owe Turner and Harper at the end of their contracts. 10 years ago, no one had a $200 million payroll. The Braves were at $83. If this off season is any indication, 10 years from now $60 million probably won't handcuff a team as the payrolls could very well be well over $300 million for several teams
Losing Dansby won't be as devastating as some are making it out to be, but hindsight being 20/20, not giving Freddie what he asked for was a huge mistake. Especially seeing as what he would likely have gotten this year.

Anybody wonder what the Dodgers are up to? I'm assuming they're holding steady waiting on Machado and Ohtani for next year. Would make sense with all the 1 year deals they're making, as they are usually right in the mix for most of the big FAs.

They’ve been over the luxury tap threshold for multiple years in a row now so if they continue, their penalty would be outrageous. They are going to spend 2023 under the luxury tax and then next year their penalties will reset because they are no longer repeat offenders, and can then spend like crazy again.

Being very conservative this year because of the uncertainty with the Bauer situation.

They probably have their weakest team in a few years, but should at least make the playoffs and hope they can get hot enough to make a run. Seems they are content to reset the luxury tax and spend big next year. Of course its the dodgers, so it won't be a surprise when they trade some middling prospects for adames, burnes and 35% of yellich's contract
