Jesus, the Braves are going to be impossible to beat in the NL East next season.

Finesand also reported they are open to trading Snell. I can't see that happening with this news but it still wouldn't be shocking if it happened. And people wonder why Tropicana field is empty and why they have no fans despite them always having pretty solid baseball teams.

Meh move from Rays, Morton is gamer.

I think he goes back to... Braves

Well, I got this

Awesome rotation. Soroka-Morton-Fried-Anderson-Smyly

Too bad Morton wanted to stay out east. He'd be perfect (again) in Oakland.

Great move by the braves

Not hard when the guy falls in your lap by wanting to play there.

Still have to pay him. Haven’t seen any other teams even sign anyone of note.

Braves going back to the NLCS next year for sure. If the Dodgers take their foot off the gas then I can't see anyone beating them in the NL. San Diego would have to step it up and get healthy to challenge.

Tatis v Acuna would be amazing

True.

Guys are waiting for a signing to create the market. Morton obviously didn't plan on being the guy to do it and instead looked out for his interests.

It's a great deal for Atl regardless.

I've always liked Morton, never thought he would develop into the guy that he became though. Glad to have more depth in the starting rotation.

Good job by Braves to shore up starting staff this offseason
