Jarred Cosart to #Marlins, per reports. #Braves also on verge of a deal.

Any chance HoyerStein managed to finagle Beachy?

So Gammons seems to be the first to report at least what the Cubs were giving up and where they were going, right?

All I can think of with these James Russell hugging mentions is Michael Scott saying, "Hug it out, bitch."

I wouldn't be surprised if what they get is better than what the Rays got for Price.

Given the paucity of catchers in our system, that's not a big surprise.

Gammons says Victor Caratini coming back. Almost 21, 2nd-round pick last year, .758 OPS this year in low-A.

Caratini was 8th on the consensus Braves prospect list this spring, right behind recently promoted Tommy La Stella: http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2014/3/18/5519382/2014-atlanta-braves-consensus-top-37-prospects
