Dukes and Bell talk about the Braves resigning Nick Markakis to a one-year, $4 Million deal with a $6 Million club option for 2020. Dukes says that the Nick Markakis signing does not move the needle and isn't the splash move that they were looking for.
Bell says this is another cheap move from the Braves and asks when are the Braves going to spend some money? He asks why not go after it this year coming off the tremendous 2018 season and strike while the fan base is fired up about what the team was able to accomplish last year.
Dukes said he would have preferred to go after a guy like A.J. Pollock and make more of a splash.
