Unknøwn Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Jose Bautista is trying to convince the Rays to sign him. Bautista has long lived in Tampa and wants to play this season. He's willing to take a low salary to play near his home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Tim Lincecum is close to signing. Rangers and Dodgers are among the finalists. He has MLB offers from both and others. He reportedly got interest from almost every team that attended his workout. Braves were among those attending but no word of their interest.

Unknøwn Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 Nats are still talking with Arrieta. Belief is theyll jump if his price comes down a little bit. Harper, Murphy and Gio are all in the final year of their deals so the Nats want to go all out to win now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, they've never even won a single playoff series. For all the crap they talk every year and their "fans" talk about all the Braves failures the Nats are on the verge of having to go into a new rebuilding effort without a single thing to show for all those losing years and top 10 picks they had prior to 2012.

Unknøwn Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Nationals 2017 1st round pick Seth Romero has been kicked out of Spring Training. Romero violated team policy in some way. He was regarded as an easy top 10 pick before he was kicked off the University of Houston baseball team prior to the draft. This led to his drop and the Nationals taking a chance. Romero has long been flagged for character issue concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falconsfan567 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Kevin Cash is going to a 4-man rotation with a bullpen day sprinkled in when needed. So it appears Cash is trying to build a time machine and go back in time. Linkage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 10-day DL, regular built-in days off in the schedule, and a local AAA team to use and abuse, I wouldn't be upset if the Braves tried it at some point as well.

Used to be common place for the Braves as late as 91. Now with the schedule being the way it is with so many off days built into it, 10-day DL, and in the Braves case Gwinnett being 20 minutes away, well there's honesty no reason not to do it. Btw, did you see the comments from folks? Lots of Kevin Cash bashing going on calling it a stupid idea, ECT, ECT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
