Braves may be signing Josh Donaldson to a 1-year deal

[Chuckster70]

 

If this happens, Camargo and Riley may be expendable in a trade.

[True Grich]

In before someone claims the Angels aren't serious about winning because they didn't sign Donaldson.

[Tyler]

Take Calhoun and Cozart too please. 

[Ochocinco!]

1yr-$23 mil... oh my 

[Hubs]

It's done 1 /23. And they signed McCann as well.

[totdprods]

I'd love to get Camargo somehow.

[Stradling]

I figured on less but not a lot less on a one year deal. 

[True Grich]

Nice move for the Braves.

[floplag]

Well thats about what i figured if it was one year only he was going to get overpayed. 

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

They signed McCann also!

I guess the Braves didnt get the memo that we were interested in them.

[krAbs]

Braves are going to be fun to watch this year.

i think the NL east is going to be very interesting in general.   

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Maybe, the Braves signed McCann and Donaldson to include them in the deal for Trout!?!??!!!!!.....That MUST be it....

[Stradling]

So short term deals might be expensive this off season.  What does this mean for a Daniel Murphy?  One year $15 million?

i think it means a lot of this boards second choices are maybe less realistic than we hoped.

[Barrett]

I wanted Donaldson but for 23 mil when the Angels only have 30 to spend that's too much.

All deals are going to be expensive this off-season until you get into the dregs of late January / early February.

They could shift him to 2B or SS though. 

But yeah, I'd love for the Angels to send Blake Parker (I hear they're going after RP help) and something else for Camargo.

The one odd thing about Johan Camargo is his power spike. He hit 19 HR last season with the Braves after only hitting just 15 in 1,915 minor league at bats.

Yeah I would love for that to happen, but he’s 24 with 6 years of club control and just hit 19 homers as a rookie, also this is a 1 year deal for Donaldson.

That is a huge jump.    It can happen, though.   Jose Ramirez didn't hit many minor league HRs either (13 in 1,383 at bats), and yet he's hit 68 HRs in his past 1,163 MLB at bats.

Yeah but they also have their top position prospect in Austin Riley who is a 3B and just finished up '18 in AAA. 

[totdprods]

Send them Skaggs, Calhoun, and Bedrosian for Camargo and an MLB-ready SP prospect with a mid/back rotation projection. 

Use the $15m saved for pitching. Go cheap at RF or sign Markakis, Jones, Brantley, or hope Adell is ready midseason.

[UndertheHalo]

I would have been fine with him for 1 year.  Still I don’t mind the Angels missing out on him.
