Sosa /Braves agree on 1 year deal....
The last player to sign and avoid arbitration is Jorge Sosa. As posted in a previous post, Sosa wanted $2.6M while the Braves countered with $1.8M. The two sides agreed in the middle with a 1/$2.2M deal. Last year Sosa pulled in 660K. It goes to show that a good year really does pay well.
In other news, Andy Marte didn't have time to get fitted for his jersey in Boston. Marte maybe apart of a trade between Boston and Cleveland that sends Coco Crisp to the Sox for Marte and Guillermo Mota. The deal hasn't been finalized yet but it's close. I think this is a better fit for Andy. There's been a lot of talent that has come out of Cleveland in the past 10 years.

Nice blog.
Who do the Braves turn if Reitsma doesn't hold-up?

Thanks for posting. I'll be suprised if Reitsma goes through the season healthy. I think Atlanta is eventually going to give the full time closer duties to Joey Devine. As I've said before he may become closer sooner than later.
I wish Reitsma the best, but he's better suited in a setup role rather than closing.
The Braves could also try Boyer at closer, but I don't think that will occur. Unless a trade happens to declare a definite closer other than Reitsma, it's going to be him. Spring Training could also unveil another option, we'll find out.
