Brian McCann agrees to a 1 year deal to come home. Close the door on JTR.

Meh. Love BMac, but don't see him as an upgrade over what we had with the Flowsuki combo. Since we went this way at C, I hope that means that we are going to shoot for significant upgrades in the other areas of need. Yet, something tells me that we won't.

Great deal. Leadership in the clubhouse at a position where BMacs bat has value for only 2 mil.

Total Meh...
Upgrade at catcher not gonna happen and I predict it will be a sore spot all year...
Especially since my gut tells me Flowers will spend a 3rd of the season on the DL for a ruptured sphincter or something.

I wanted Lucroy because he should also come cheap and should be healthier. I was okay with the Braves not wanting to match 2/10 for Zuk. I'm not a fan of this signing though, especially at this time of the offseason. If McCann really wanted to come back in theory he would have waited a week or so on the Braves. As far as I'm concerned the Braves now have two catchers who would likely benefit from having little playing time so that they can play well when they do. Both Flowers and McCann needed to be backups to a primary catcher. Now they will each share roughly half the work unless the Braves are going to put more on Flowers who didn't play well in the first half of the season and was even worse after that.

Good lord.
What's next, we're going to sign Moylan, Danny Santana and then overpay some other broke down old veteran? Trade for Dexter Fowler?
McCann and Flowers.
Wow.
I hope Emilio Bonifacio is still available......

I'm very disappointed in this move. In my mind it tells me that the Braves are rolling with a platoon of McCann and Flowers next year which to me is a down grade from this year. I really dont see what McCann brings to this team. Might be a nice nostalgia bump for some Braves fans but I'm not interested.

The amount of stolen bases we'll give up might be frightening.

If this move means even more firepower is coming to an outfield position on top of the Donaldson signing and then we sign/acquire more pitching, then I do not have a problem with our current catching situation.
