OUTS & OUTS
Ownership of the Atlanta Braves franchise changes hands, while the Senators - as of this moment, of course, the Texas Rangers - cut ties with Manager Harley Boss on the way out.
ROSTER MOVES
I won't lie to you, I wanted that title bad. When I started this save I wanted to at least win those years the club won it all IRL. We missed 1909 but followed suit in 1925, 1960 and now 1971. The next and final opportunity to do so is 1979. We'll obviously be trying to win a couple between now and then but that '79 title remains my number one longer-term priority. Some of my moves this offseason should make this abundantly clear.
Just Freddie Patek off to arb, as we non-tender John Gelnar and let Joe Gibbon and Bill Short walk.
