Operation Deduction

Alright so let’s narrow the focus.

The comments he made today are about a free agent and I think that is A.J. Pollock, even though Bowman said his contract demands are not to the Braves’ liking yet.

I don’t think the Braves trade for any outfielder because of the high demands of the teams mentioned previously.

Pollock’s market is confusing, with no clear-cut team(s) interested, although Heyman reported today somewhat of an interest from the Dodgers

This deal makes sense, even though I’m not sure that it will be warmly received because of his inconsistent, injury-riddled career to this point.

If the Braves truly do have plenty of money to spend, then adding a player like Pollock would not break the bank and would allow Anthopoulos to still add a piece to the bullpen or rotation or maybe both depending on cost.

While my prognostications might prove to be incorrect, I think we all can agree that something is about to happen, which will most likely lead to other things, as well.
