MFin04, dude, it’s about what they have on the books. Remove 2011’s roster players from your mind. Just focus on what we owe to players in 2012. I have the numbers listed above. Minimum salary is 480K for 2012 and some players will be a bit above that, so at worst, we have around a 87-88 million dollar payroll and Frank Wren will add a couple more pieces. Not sure what is so hard to understand.

Execs guess gio next to go w/ darvish off board. #redsox, #tigers, many more interested. Lefty has 4 yrs team control left
4 years of control thing is important. I’d be interested to see what Garza goes for – same service time as Jurrjens, however with a lot less risk. He’d get Theo a nice haul at this point.
Cubs and White Sox – #29 and #30 ranked in terms of farm systems in my opinion. Awful with a capital A. No reason John Danks shouldn’t be traded before Opening Day either.

ATLANTA — Liberty Media Corp. will pay to settle its disputed taxes from 2010.
The company, which owns the Atlanta Braves baseball franchise, said it would pay $136 million in federal income taxes to settle claims by the Internal Revenue Service against it and its former parent company, Liberty Interactive Corp., according to a Dec. 20 filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The settlement will decrease the company’s short-term tax liability by $700 million, and cut its long-term liability by $460 million on deferred derivative gains and capital losses, the company said in the filing.
Liberty will record a federal income tax expense of $136 million and a deferred tax benefit of $240 million this quarter, the company said.
(Atlanta Business Chronicle)
If this article is accurate, Liberty paid $136 million to the IRS which reduced their tax liability by $1.16 billion. So the IRS just waived $1.024 billion?
How in the hell does ownership get the IRS to just say, “Okay, just pay 12% of what you owe.”
We need those lawyers negotiating our player contracts. We could’ve had Pujols for less than $3 million a year for the next ten years!

In fact in 08, their worst year recoird wise, they drew 2,532,800 (14th in MLB).
They have never been higher than 10th (in 03, 2,401,000) and never lower than 16th (in 04, 2,322,000 and in 05, 2,521,00 )

What do you guys think of another swap with the White Sox….We give up Juurjens and Prado and get back Carlos Quentin, Lillibridge and Gavin Floyd….It would give us a LF, insurance and flexibility with Lillibridge and an experienced starter so can let the younguns work their way into the lineup….Always thought Lillibridge could be a player and he give us depth at SS and CF…….If Floyd comes in and does like Vazquez he could be trade bait in the future…Quentin is a good middle of the order RH bat that doesn’t strikeout 150 times….That’s one thing we have to improve this year is our contact hitting in certain situations….

tiger – It was over 3 mil through 99. Haven’t found 2000, but that is around the cut off point, Not sure when Ted sold out to TW.
People need to remeber that the Braves had some pretty pathetic attendance while Ted owned the team, too. It was really onlyn wen we had Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz that we drew in the 3 mil range and even then it was only four years or so. Of course, they drew 2.5 mil in both 94 and 95, which were strike shortened.

Braves Inbox: Any roster moves on horizon?
Beat reporter Mark Bowman answers fans’ questions
http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20111220&content_id=26204982&vkey=news_atl&c_id=atl
Why are the Braves not trying to go after any big-time free agents like the rest of the National League East?
– John H., Pittsburgh
It’s easy to understand why Braves fans are getting restless as we near Christmas without the team having made a significant acquisition. That’s the way fans are supposed to react. At the same time, general managers are supposed to display the same kind of patience that Frank Wren has utilized this winter.
There’s no doubt that Wren would have liked to have made a deal or two by now. But as he said during the Winter Meetings, he’s not going to jeopardize the organization’s bright future by doing something just because the Marlins have made some noise this winter.
The Braves thought they might have been close to trading Jair Jurrjens to the Reds last weekend. But this potential deal died when the Reds instead sent Edinson Volquez and three of their top prospects to the Padres in exchange for Mat Latos.
Had Jurrjens been traded to the Reds, the Rockies felt the Braves would then be in position to trade them Martin Prado.
There is still a chance the Rockies will realize their hopes to acquire Prado. There are also still plenty of pitching-hungry teams that will be willing to strike a deal for Jurrjens. But Wren has continued to say he will not deal either player unless he receives a strong return.
With the top free agents (C.J. Wilson and Mark Buehrle) off the market and Yu Darvish in position to sign with the Rangers, Jurrjens stands as one of the more attractive pieces for teams looking to add a starting pitcher. But potential suitors are also talking to the A’s about Gio Gonzalez and attempting to determine whether the Rays would be willing to trade Wade Davis.
With other options still available, potential suitors are not yet willing to give the Braves what they are seeking for Jurrjens. This could certainly change over the next few weeks.
What is the chance we will get Josh Hamilton once he is a free agent after this year?
– Kaleb H., Dawsonville, Ga.
There is obviously no way to begin projecting the odds of which free agents the Braves might next winter. But those of you who have been bored with this offseason’s developments will be happy to know the Braves will have the financial resources available to be in the market for Hamilton and the other top available free agents. They will likely have more than $40 million to spend and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll be in the market for some of the top available outfielders.
Next year’s cast of free-agent outfielders could include Hamilton, Shane Victorino, Michael Bourn, B.J. Upton, Nick Swisher, Carlos Quentin and Andre Ethier. This strong list would have been even more impressive had 2011 National League MVP Matt Kemp not signed his eight-year, $160 million contract with the Dodgers in November.

Doubtful it was for the same package, however I wonder what the trade was…..
They will likely have more than $40 million to spend and there’s a pretty good chance they’ll be in the market for some of the top available outfielders.
That’s if they don’t re-sign Bourn, Chipper retires or bring back Jurrjens or Prado, possibly even EOF. Uggla, McCann, and Hudson account for 34 million + four first year arbitration eligibles in Jason Heyward, Tommy Hanson, Jonny Venters and Kris Medlen(not counting a then 30 year old C-Mart). Those four will probably be around 10 million, so Bowman is correct on around 40 million to spend.
Brava

I still can’t believe Wren is entertaining the thought of trading Prado for Seth Smith. It makes no sense any way you look at it except dumping salary. It will make this team weaker. It will make me furious, as well.

I tend to agree, Lew. And why are the Rockies so against trading Wheeler when they just signed Cuddyer to a three year deal, signed CarGo to an extension and apparently love Dexter Fowler? On the face of it, Prado really helps them at 2nd base. Seems foolish to not trade Smith/Wheeler for Prado. They should be all over that. That’s why I’m just not sure if I buy that one.

Anthopoulos began serious trade talks at the winter meetings and is now ready to resume calling GMs in earnest now that he knows the Darvish neogotiations are off the table for the Jays.
There are talks with White Sox GM Kenny Williams for outfielder Caros Quentin and John Danks. There’s a call to be made to Billy Beane with imaginative back-and-forth involving lefthander Gio Gonzalez. How about the Astros and Wandy Rodriguez or the Braves and Jair Jurrjens?
Once Gio goes, things should get going, right? At least that’s what we think. Hope we don’t have to wait for Garza….and Danks…..

DS1, well don’t yell at him, man. He’s just tired of wondering what his team might do, just like most of us probably are.

Braves will do something. Wren is pretty damn slick. He will not get ripped off. Ya know, the offseason sux anyways. We’ll get through it and by the time we know it spring ball will be here. Braves will have a good team again and the chances of another collapse are slim to none. These young guys have a good head on their shoulders which is obvious just watching them. It might make not only the players stronger, but the entire staff probably learned a little something too. You never stop learning.

Why are you worried about a Colorado Rockies outfielders’ arm?
Oh, I don’t know, maybe because DOB, Bowman, and Renck have all stated that the Braves have discussed trading Prado for him. Also, I’ll talk about whatever I want whether or not it changes anything, thanks, Wayne, just like almost everyone else on this blog.
CTB, Thanks. Yes, I am tired of wondering what the team might do. I’m tired of watching every other team in baseball making moves to improve themselves while the Braves do nothing. Oh, and I’m a woman.

Hell even DOB is bored to tears of this. That’s saying something too. Why with all his moaning the last few offseasons of “I’m trying to keep you guys informed, but running 2 hours of sleep keeping up with all these developments is tough. It is my offseason ya know”
Kidding.

Like I said DS1 … don’t yell at her, man. She’s just tired of wondering what her team might do. Just like all of us probably are.
Sorry ’bout that, brava.

DOB: The writer of that article is incredibly lazy.
The writer listed the county (Monroe County) where the kid plays, not the city. Who does that???? He also states he plays for “Mary Parsons”….it’s Mary Persons.
It’s not the Monroe you are probably thinking of, tucked in between Athens and Atlanta.
