Wow that's a lot. Pache isn't the prospect he once was, but that's 3 top 10 prospects from the Braves system.

I thought he’d go for 100 mil on the dot, but I bet he gets 120-140 now

I would be kinda pissed if I'm a Braves fan. Olson's good, but they gave up a ton for him when all Freeman would have cost is money.

For 2 years of Matt Olson?  Its a big overpay IMO. 

Olson was actually better than Freeman last year, and he's in his prime. This is a good deal for the Braves, assuming Olson keeps it up. That's a lot of prospect capital to give up when Freeman only cost money, though.

Yeah...I feel like they should have just offered Freeman the 6th year. DH in the NL now helps an aging contract.

I never thought it was possible he would be under 20.

I figured it would be 20 or low 20s AAV.

The only 1b that are better than him are Freeman and Vlad Jr. The Braves must think Freddie is going to Pujols. It's hard to believe they didn't pony up.

Good.  Whoever hands Story that kind of $ is going to regret it quickly.  Hopefully the Twins.

And being from Georgia, maybe they can extend him.

Lmao. Tatis is trying to blame the lockout for his wrist.

Tatis JR needs to say healthy and they need to move him off SS to help him.

crap quoted the wrong tweet.

Well, they have two bad contracts in Hosmer and Myers, the risk surrounding Tatis…added all those pitchers last year, and still put the medal to the metal.  Not to mention they have Abrams, Gore and Hassell, hard not to look on without feeling a little bit of frustration with the White Sox roster construction at this point.

Conforto's price just got higher if true. LOl damn it why do I keep clicking on the Suzuki signing tweet and then I get the Passan tweet when I post it  ?

Suzuki deal is fair. Guy is projected to be a star in the MLB. I don't think it has any barring over Conforto.

Classic supply/demand curve.  More dollars chasing the even now more limited talent at that particular position.

Meh. Then wouldn't the idea for every team to sign the first guy?

I guess what I'm really trying to say is just because Suzuki got 5/70 doesn't mean Conforto is going to get massively more. Suzuki is projcted a star

I think a lot of FA signing correlate with others. One less LH OF on the market. He got $70M and 5 years without any MLB experience. Boras knows all these things and that's why he waits on his high priced clients. He let's the market dry up for the skillset he is selling and adjusts accordingly.

Suzuki is a RHH.
