HMF can you change default font/size? For whatever reason, I feel like papabrave's post would have been more readable on the old board.

Have you guys seen the Nationals payroll next year? They are shelling out big time for Strasburg and Scherzer. Zimmerman’s deal is done after 2019 giving them more flexibility once 18 mil rolls off. Rendon is still relatively cheap in arbitration. Eaton is dirt cheap, Oh and Soto and Robles will likely be up next.
They have a lot to entice Harper to come back. However they have had a lot of talent and assets in the past but nefer sniffed a World Series.

Pollock has a fractured thumb and is expected to miss 4-8 weeks

I'm fairly certain that we'll go after Donaldson.

I have to believe Riley will be a September call up if anything. I suppose it depends on the price tag for a rental.

I'm fairly certain that we'll go after Donaldson. Can Donaldson play LF, cause if he can’t I don’t see how the Braves go after him. And before anyone talks about putting Riley in LF, he’s actually a really good defender at 3rd.

Donaldson will be 33 when next season starts, he was hurt last year, hurt again this year, and is putting up real underwhelming numbers this year. This would have been a 2016 or 2017 move. Not what we need now.

I'm talking about as a July trade rental, not as a FA signing.
I think they keep Riley in AAA until September, and take a flyer on Donaldson over July/August. Come September, either Donaldson is on fire, or Riley starts getting most of the starts.

If the braves are still in contention and he is still performing well in AAA, calling up Riley before September would be pretty likely, especially because of the lack of right handed power off the bench
