that should say there are no incentives in braves $1M deal. word is, bautista had a deal for more $ but preferred to go with the braves.

Hope he does well!

[AledmysDiaz]

Should have just reitred then taking this poverty contract

[Deadpool]

Nothing to dislike about this, he gets a chance to show he can still play, and if he's great (and I hope he is) it's in the NL and we won't have to face him!

[bones10]

Wait was he signed to play infield? That's what reddit is saying

[LGBJ29]

The boys are back

 

[BTS]

He should have walked away. This is a bad look.

Yes

 

They want him to play 3B if possible

[G-Snarls]

Yeah

 

I'm surprised no AL team signed him to DH for a mil or two

 

Failing that, this is a bit embarrassing. Unless it works out for him. Which it probanly won't

Strictly not true, we play the Braves on 19/20th June.

I'd love to see him pull it off though

 

Would be cool to see

[polar bear]

I could care less.

First, here's a "planning the parade" warning...

 

Remember in 1992 1993 when we brought in quality vets like Winfield and Molitor to put us over the top?

 

What if JB hits the cover off the ball for Atlanta, but they suck, and we're still in the playoff hunt in July. Wouldn't it be cool to bring him back for Fall ball?

We could DFA Morales. JB would provide DH, 3B and 5th OF in that scenario.

[John_Havok]

I could care less.

 

That means you do care.... at least a little

Greedy smile yesssss

[Laika]

It's funny because Bautista probably would be an upgrade on Morales.

I'm guessing both would project for about the same offense and Bautista has a tiny bit more defensive utility.

 

Of course there would be like 50 realistic targets better than both of them...

[Dr. Dinger]

I see Bautista finally cashed in his IOU from AA.

[Krylian]

I could care less.

 

I couldn't care less.

For a 1/13 of the salary...

[Deadpool]

I couldn't care less.

 

Maybe he could, you don't know!

I couldn't care less what he cares about.

Weird Al quotes are the best

Weird Al quotes are the best

 

i was trying to find that exact clip of the song for a embedded GIF but i was on my phone and it seemed like way too much effort for the very slight comedic impact.

If there is anything left in his bat he should do fine as a 1B/3B/LF bench piece. But unless he's getting a lot of PT he might as well hang them up.
