Twins, Nationals, and Braves have all offered Josh Donaldson 4 year contracts in the 100+ million range

https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/mlb-rumors-josh-donaldson-gets-big-offers-from-three-teams-50-50-chance-nolan-arenado-gets-traded/

Not sure what the hold up is now since Braves offered 4 years and thats who he was waiting on.
I'm assuming someone offered like 10-15M more

Cincinnati Reds have signed free agent CF Shogo Akiyama from the Seibu Lions

That Acuna jersey looks dope.

I like the Acuna Jersey.

I also would be curious who is on all of the cards in the deck of cards you got.

It's all Braves players throughout the history of the team, with stylized (caricature type) artwork. Pretty cool looking
http://www.herodecks.com/products/baseball-playing-cards-atlanta-braves-fans
They say their full name (any nickname), their years on the Braves, and some facts about them
I'm pretty sure the numbers match most of their positions
For space I'm just putting 1 word for each player BOLD=who I put in the picture

Cool Thanks for sharing.

Ace lol I get it.

I was wondering what Chipper would be, if he was gonna be a 10 or something different. Thought Maddux would be the ace over Smoltz in that case.

Laroche, kinda sad that was there top 1b in that stretch lol.

yeah, some are dumb.. but theyre pretty cool regardless. Maddux should have definitely been an ace
I updated with link and picture
Julio Teheran still says 2011-
