But it's not a rebuild. That's what national fans always forget when they rationalize fire sales by the Marlins--they aren't rebuilding, this is the business plan. Receive corporate welfare from taxpayers, receive handouts from the league, put a terrible product out and profit.Electromatic wrote: I wonder this often with the Braves, but just what are they selling down there to try and convince people to pay money to go see a professional game?
Hey guys get in on the ground floor of our 2025 rebuild!!!
At least trading Ozuna and Yelich will actually help the future of the franchise, but yeah...4/5 wrote:But it's not a rebuild.

This trade is an abomination. Even if you consider the lack of leverage the Marlins had and that Stanton had a no trade clause it still doesn't come close to defending this trade. There was no need to do the trade right then. They could have waited almost 4 more months and still gotten him off the books before the season.
The MLB wanted Jeter to have a team so they approved a sale to people who couldn't afford a team even though the other buyer was local and stated his intention to keep Stanton and to have a competitive payroll. The Jeter team gets the team (and had to borrow extensively to hit the MLB-inflated $1.1 billion price tag) and immediately announces that the Miami market can't support anything but a bare bones payroll and that they're basically going to gut the franchise for financial relief, not to rebuild the farm system.
Right-handed starter Yovani Gallardo has agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to multiple reports.
The agreement was first reported by The Athletic.
Gallardo was 5-10 with a 5.72 ERA in 28 games (22 starts) with the Seattle Mariners last season.
Seattle declined an option on Gallardo in November, making him a free agent.
The 31-year-old Gallardo spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Brewers before one-year stays with the Texas Rangers, Baltimore Orioles and Mariners. He has a career record of 113-93 with a 3.93 ERA.
Just another of those, average pitchers the Brewers run out as an "ace" 86 wins in 8 seasons says it all.spike wrote:always liked this guy

Who's paying Adrian Gonzales' salary next year?Electromatic wrote:Pretty good trade Dodgers and Braves
I think the Braves are mostly at least. He’s already Dfa’d. I don’t know how much cash came back. This looks like short term pitching help, clearing a spot for Acuña, and having money to spend in 2019.CopperTom wrote:Who's paying Adrian Gonzales' salary next year?Electromatic wrote:Pretty good trade Dodgers and Braves

Culberson could help the infield too, not sure if they want him at 3rd early on or just part of the bench.
All in all pretty solid first move.

There’s one competitive team in the NL East Rob. The rest aren’t even trying to win.
