IF Kevin Maitan was part of those accusations, why would he be exempt from those punishments? That's what I'm asking. We saw in the case of the Red Sox that the main players involved in that scandal were made FA. Why would you think that MLB would make Maitan exempt? If anything, that doesn't deter teams from cheating. LIS, we only know some of the facts and if more come out that there is more than just paying for an apartment, or something that is largely a regular occurrence it's one thing, but if it's beyond that scope there's no reason that Maitan shouldn't be expect from it. MLB's desire for a draft has NOTHING to do with what their punishment will be. IF MLB wanted a draft that bad, there would be a draft already. If there is something major that hasnt come out like what happened with the Red Sox, then yeah, I could see something like that happened. Im going off what has been mentioned from many different people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The signing early and the apartment is what has come out against Maitan. Giving Drew Waters a car for signing at his spot is the other major allegation involving a certain player. The biggest offender is going to be the international market. Apparently, there are a ton of allegations that involve multiple players over the past few years, but Ive not seen anything else about Maitan specifically. If we lose players, it could be guys like Drian Cruz, Christian Pache, and Abraham Gutierrez. Guys that werent at the absolute top of the international rankings, but got a lot of money for their talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Just read an ESPN article that just suggests that Braves will lose draft picks and some international bonus money. So Maitan might be safe. Doesn't mention losing any players at all. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/21226692/atlanta-braves-president-john-hart-play-role-rules-violations Edited October 30, 2017 by scar988 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are going to lose Maitan, Waters, Acuna, Julio, Minter, and the ghost of Rafael Belliard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizardHawk Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 First I've seen of Anthopoulos mentioned as a possible candidate. So don't want Moore, but I have a feeling he's going to be the guy. Braves just don't seem to want to let go of the past. Preparing myself for disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question though.. do the Braves want him back? Positives being that he's a guy who even at his older age, can really help a young pitching staff come along. He's a grizzled vet who can help a young team in multiple different areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves want to win, and if you watched any games last year, you would have seen that catching was not the problem. Flowers is going to get a contract extension since he is actually good at playing baseball(#1 in framing 2017), and we have a top 5 catching prospect that dominated A+, played well at AA, and is playing great in Arizona.
