Braves reach agreement with George Sherrill [updated]

[Dipper9]

Sherrill, Koji, and Gregg would be solid additions to the BP.

Getting Sherrill would make me so happy. I know that we have other holes that have to be filled but he would bring such energy to this team.

Indeed.... anytime you have 3 guys with closing experience (wait... Gonzo's already here, that's 4) you have flexibility.

Sherill still may be a possibility it appears . http://twitter.com/#!/JSalisburyCSN/statuses/12587616478171136

For those that can't read twitter..

1:22pm: The Phillies have offers out to Reyes and Sherrill, tweets Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly, but it looks like Sherrill might be headed elsewhere.

I guess Showalter is right. They might have enough relievers soon. Talking to alot of guys plus rule 5 and guys like DelCarmen.

The Braves? C'mon, man!

I hope we can snag Aneury Rodriguez from the Rays. He could be good enough to slot into the 5th rotation spot.

Braves have reached an agreement with Sherrill for 1.2mm. Could be worth 1.4mm w/ incentives.

Another dead end for the O's!

I would have given him 2mm

This really sucks

With all respect to Flat Breezy, after the season he just had there's no way you can offer him $2 mm. I'm a little surprised he got $1.2 mm.

Too bad, we've had a couple of posts from el sid in the last few days, and I guess with George signed we won't see his bro around these parts.

[Moose Milligan]

ah...oh well. Best of luck to Flat Breezy.

Updating an earlier post.

WEDNESDAY, 11:45am: The Phillies are not close to signing Reyes and have yet to make a formal offer, reports Paul Hagen of the Philadelphia Daily News. Word is they're not close on any reliever right now.

Thanks, Good Luck to George.
