mission27 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Tbh what is the point of DFAing a player like Gonzalez instead of trying to trade him while eating 100% of his salary. Wouldn't someone give you a meh prospect to take a flyer on Adrian Gonzalez for free? I mean if Carlos Santana is worth $20MM/yr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission27 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 As bad as he was last season, he's only a couple years removed from being a 3 WAR player and we're talking about a career .288/.359/.488 hitter. No way there isn't a team out there who would be happy to have him in camp and pay him $0.01 this year in salary or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devils1854 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 One thing to remember is that next year the Braves will have about $37 million in guaranteed contracts, and they ended 2017 with a payroll around $140 million. Will be big spenders in free agency next year hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom cody Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Decent deal for both teams. Gonzalez should be a good bat in an otherwise mainly young Braves lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
