Seriously, I will not believe Smoltz signs with any other team until he's wearing their jersey at the press conference. -- nm

$5.5M with another $5M in incentives is big money for a guy who threw less than 30 innings last year. -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 20:50 12
- He doesn't need money, but the Braves would give him whatever he wanted. It's the reverse-Furcal. -- nm - David Jan 7, 20:51 11
  - My good friend here, Braves fan, is losing his mind. He'll be at Fenway weekly in June. -- nm - TFox Jan 7, 20:53 9
    - Actually, both Bowman and DOB seem to think this story is true. - David Jan 7, 20:54 8
      - If true, its a smart signing after giving a spot to Brad Penny. - TFox Jan 7, 20:57 7
        
        This kills us in free agency if true. How are we going to get guys to sign here if even Smoltz is jumping ship? -- nm - David Jan 7, 20:59 6
        
        Will it help or hurt if they sign Kawakami to 2-3 years at $12M+ per? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 7, 21:23 3
        
        Losing Smoltz automatically drops attendance by 5% imo. -- nm - David Jan 7, 21:25 2
        
        I agree with that. I wondered if it would be even worse passing on him for Kawakami. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 7, 21:30 1
        
        The strangest part is that their fans know they have $35 million left to spend. -- nm - David Jan 7, 21:36
        
        There's lots of decent pitching still out there. Hell, go get our future HOF free agent. :) - TFox Jan 7, 21:03 1
        
        I don't know what's going on with Dunn and Lowe, but I am quickly losing confidence in Wren. -- nm - David Jan 7, 21:03
  - They can't give him another ring though. -- nm - Redmond Jan 7, 20:52
