The money he loses from suspension also gets excluded from the luxury tax calculation, right? Feels like this might actually be beneficial for the Braves since he probably wasn’t going to be pulling his financial weight without the juice anyway.

I would just eat the money and release him.
That’s a wrap. Most disappointing signing in a long, long time.
Professional version of “kick rocks”
« We’re not mad at you, we’re just disappointed. »
I would also be disappointed if I paid 27M for 2 years with a total of 1 WAR
Did they just use the same statement from last time.
This mean he’s out for team Netherlands?

That’s how teams say « fuck that guy. »
This reads like a disappointed father wrote this
I can feel the hatred in this statement
