I wonder why we weren't in on Benintendi? Surely we could have offered more than KC, and the salary is right. He had a rough go last year and wasn't great in '19, but it seems a bit early to give up on the guy. I'm not familiar with what the Royals gave up, though, so maybe the cost was prohibitive.

"Looking at the bullpen, the Braves have Will Smith, Chris Martin, Tyler Matzek and A.J. Minter available to cover high-leverage situations. Jacob Webb and Luke Jackson have also proven capable of recording key outs in the late innings. Add Josh Tomlin, Sean Newcomb, Grant Dayton, Huascar Ynoa and a few other bullpen candidates to the mix and you find decent depth within the potential relief corps."
lol, he has an interesting way of summing up Luke Jackson!
Having Luke and Tomlin both in the pen is pretty redundant.
Having Ender on this team still is like having your girlfriend's dad stay up and in the same room with you until you leave to go home when you're 18 years old. There's some fun going to be had by some people in the world that night.......but not you.

As the article points out, the Braves have some real concerns beyond the bullpen. Alex Jackson as the backup catcher? A bench of Ender, Camargo, Jack Mayfield and Abraham Almonte? (whoever Mayfield and Almonte are) Is Pache ready for a full-time gig? and of course the defensive liability of Ozuna. There are a lot of issues out there.

I have a feeling we’re going to see the same thing all around baseball. Teams are still signing big contracts and it’s making their pens and benches weaker.

It's obvious we just didn't want Melancon back.

Would like to see us sign either Greene, Rosenthal, Kela or Osuna as the final bullpen piece. Still feel like we need one more impact late inning arm.

That’s a tad surprising given that he got hurt so early on last season. He’s earned it though.

The race card is so old. It’s so tired. It’s so useless. If you really think that bothers me, you’re wrong on so many levels. You libs have no ideas. Everything you believe is not only wrong, it’s idiotic. The only thing you love is hate. What a sad, sad existence that must be. Awww you’re still not over losing the election. How cute. Blah...blah...blah. You gentlemen take this crap somewhere else. We don't want to hear it.

Dodgers To Re-Sign Justin Turner www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/02/dodgers-to-re-sign-justin-turner.html"Pending a physical, the Vayner Sports client will re-sign with the Dodgers for two years, $34MM with a $14MM team option for a third year. The deal includes an $8MM signing bonus and built-in escalators that could raise the overall value of the deal to $52MM over three years, conditional to MVP voting." Serious overpay IMO!

Big-time overpay. He's been good, but I'm thinking he's about done.
