The Braves have also been stripped of Yunior Severino and Juan Contreras. That's their top four IFA signings of 2016.

Abrahan Gutierrez has been declared a free agent by MLB as well. This is getting bad for the Braves.

While I agree, he's sort of his own worst enemy in that regard. The org reports he publishes are incredibly in-depth.

Perhaps Shatkins knew otherwise.

The league is about to rule on the Braves' signing debacle. It seems like we'll know tomorrow which prospects they are losing. MLB To Meet With Braves Players On Tuesday November 20, 2017 By Ben Badler Major League Baseball has informed several Braves prospects that they will meet with them on Tuesday afternoon, according to multiple sources. The players will either meet with league officials in person in the Dominican Republic or be informed of what's happening by phone. MLB has been investigating the Braves' international signings, with the team expecting to lose multiple players they signed in recent years. While few specifics have come out regarding what rules MLB has determined the Braves violated and what sanctions the team will face, given that MLB has called a meeting with the players for tomorrow, those details should emerge soon. https://www.baseballamerica.com/international/mlb-to-meet-with-braves-players-on-tuesday/#Kp2SuD4gqHk2r3ko.97

Hey guys, Has anyone read this article yet? I didn't see it posted. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/a-note-about-harold-ramirez/

Deadpool is right.

I just mean that there's already been a lot of chatter about him, and it seems like a lot of people think there's something there. I don't understand why, though.

It seems a good number of people here have Chat-wood.

This is pretty good:

Two.

You're the goods, baby.

Lol thank you, sir.

You have a BP subscription as well?

Would someone be so kind as to post this article? https://www.baseballprospectus.com/prospects/article/35273/2018-prospects-chicago-white-sox-top-10-prospects/

That catch was pretty special.

Agreed, Pagan looks like a pretty good reliever. Just ridding themselves of Healy is a shrewd move for Oakland, but getting actual assets in return is so nice. Also, Chapman is such a delightful defensive spectacle.

The Mariners really have a type.

Willans Astudillo, aka the Man with the Most Interesting Fangraphs Profile in the World (the nickname is a bit of a work in progress), is available. I feel like his elite contact ability (3.9% K rate!) could play in the majors, and it would be wise to give him a chance to play. I also find Michael Reed, Oswaldo Arcia, Cesar Puello, and O'Koyea Dickson interesting to varying degrees.

12:41 JaysFan: Edward Olivares seemed hidden in the shadows of Vlad and Bo and friends. How many of his tools will play? 12:42 Eric A Longenhagen: Aha, yes. I like Olivares. Scouts have concerns about him swinging and missing at upper levels but he’s got a great frame, some natural loft, his bat is quick, chance to stay in CF. He’s a nice prospect. 12:42 Mario Mendoza: What’s your current projection for Anthony Alford? 12:42 Eric A Longenhagen: Above average regular. He has monster tools.

Ozzie Albies exists, you guys.

Here's an offseason guide for all of my baseball-starved e-friends out there: As you fade into the black of the depressing offseason without baseball, make sure you don’t go too far. There is plenty of hot stove discussions and events to track during the mean cold of winter, some of which have started already. As of 9 a.m. ET last Thursday, eligible players are now free agents, so time to start tracking the moves of Yu Darvish, J.D. Martinez, Eric Hosmer and many others. See? There’s plenty of baseball action coming up! That’s only the start of it. Here’s everything to keep up with until the 2018 season finally opens (I feel like I’ve been waiting a month already). Nov. 9: Silver Slugger winners announced No finalists needed here. The winners will be revealed at 6 p.m. ET on MLB Network. Nov. 13: M Meetings/ ROY announced General managers will also be heading to the warmth of Orlando to kick off the GM Meetings which will go on for four days. Don’t expect to hear too many juicy rumors in these meetings, as it’s mainly to settle off-the-field matters. Still, things can happen. Finally, the Rookies of the Year will be announced on MLB Network at 6 p.m. ET, where they will try to add as much drama as possible to make you forget that Judge and Bellinger have basically already won the award. Nov. 14: Managers of the Year announced Back again on MLB Network at 6 p.m. ET, the Managers of the Year will be revealed in what should be a much more interesting conversation than that of the Rookie of the Year. Nov. 15: Cy Young Award winners announced Different day, but same time and channel. Who does the BBWAA vote the most valuable hurlers in the league? Nov. 16: Qualifying Offer Decisions Due/MVP Awards announced Having received their qualifying offers a week before, it’s time for potential free agents to make the big decision: “Should I stay or should I go?” Thanks to the new CBA, teams that sign a qualified free agent no longer sacrifice their highest unprotected pick, so maybe we’ll see more action for players that turned down an offer to return to their former teams. Again on the same channel and at the same time, we will finally learn who the MVPs are. This is probably a good opportunity to once again stress that THESE ARE REGULAR SEASON AWARDS. Nov. 17: Esurance MLB Awards announced This isn’t a well known event, but it is a fun one. Also on MLB Network, winners for more unique awards like Best Personality of the Year and Best Offensive Play of the Year will be revealed. Best Offensive Play includes candidates like Byron Buxton’s inside-the-park home run and Chris Coghlan’s Superman soar over Yadier Molina to plate an entertaining run. It should be a good time. Nov. 20: Deadline to add Rule 5 Draft eligibles to 40-man rosters Protect those players! Yankees’ top prospect Gleyber Torres will be an obvious addition to their roster. A few trades always happen around this deadline as clubs look to make room on their 40-man rosters. Dec. 1: Non-tender deadline Pre-arbitration and arbitration eligible players become free agents if they do not receive a contract offer. A new wave of free agents will be available, but if they didn’t receive an offer from their team, they likely won’t be worth a ton on the free agent market. Dec. 10-14: Winter Meetings Cue the madness! The whole “winter” part likely won’t be embraced in the warmth of Orlando, but the warm climate will sufficiently compliment the hot stove rumors that will be swirling around for five days (does Giancarlo Stanton get traded?). The biggest splashes of the offseason will likely happen here, and you will be able to get the scoop by following MLB Daily Dish on Twitter. The Winter Meetings will also be concluded by the Rule 5 Draft, which takes place on the final day of the meetings. Again, it’s rare to strike gold in this draft, but players like Dan Uggla, R.A. Dickey and Odubel Herrera have been scooped up in the past. Mid-January: Hall of Fame Class of 2018 announced Chipper Jones and Jim Thome are notables that will be making their debut on the ballot, and it would also be very disappointing if Vladimir Guerrero doesn’t get the call this year. February: Arbitration hearings, Spring Training The good news: baseball is back! Pitchers and catchers report to their camps in mid-February, followed by position players. The bad news: Your team can be put into an awkward position during arbitration hearings as players look to earn their worth. It can become especially awkward if your team president rips a player publicly while mistaking said player’s name (see Randy Levine). March 29: Opening Day We made it! We get early baseball in 2018 as the new CBA granted extra days off during the season, so Opening Day was moved back to a Thursday, when every team opens up their season with a clean slate. I can’t wait. Luckily, there’s plenty of action to be appreciated in the meantime. https://www.mlbdailydish.com/2017/11/13/16597880/2017-18-mlb-offseason-calendar-free-agency
