It feels like we are inching closer to a Josh Donaldson signing and the Atlanta Braves appear to be the leader, but they may have to push the envelope a little further.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required) reported on Friday that Donaldson is holding out for $110 million.
He also says that Donaldson is mulling over four-year options from the Braves, Washington Nationals, and Minnesota Twins and that he's just waiting on one of them to hit that number.
This is a little disheartening to me as a Braves fan because I had it in my mind all along that Atlanta was where he preferred to play and as long as Atlanta's offer was similar to the others he would take that deal.
