Darn
Until the Dodgers offer him $500m for 6 years
The Kenshin Kawakami karma is real.

3/54 for those who don’t know details and opt out after each year and $3M in incentives each year.
Well it was a fun 24 hrs lol
Anyone who thought the Braves were actually landing him haven’t followed the Braves for long
Crappy New year
Not shot yall thought we were about to actually spend money
Who actually thought our ownership group would pay that kind of money? Freddie Dansby Max! The organization is a joke the ownership is a joke and doesn’t care about ever winning another championship. Get used to it folks. Boycott the team.
Ah oh well. We’ve had a pretty damn good off season so I can’t really be too upset.
Yeah…we don’t really do this yearly opt-out thing. Bad juju.

Well darn
Framber Valdez, come on down
That’s actually a terrible deal for the Astros
I knew better than to get my hopes up after seeing the rumors we were in on him. But damnit I did it anyway. At least he’s in the AL I guess
Why can’t we get any of these guys?!
I’m sorry I love y’all Braves Country but we needed this man. Pure Bred Dodger Hater. It was destiny.
Please treat Dubon well, we love him and you will too.
