On Monday, we echoed a report from Jim Bowden that the Atlanta Braves had made a 4-year offer to free agent third baseman Josh Donaldson.
Some greeted this new with skepticism... some were simply hoping that it wasn't true (that 3 years should be the max)... and still others were thinking that it should already be signed, sealed, and delivered if 4 years had been offered.
While we can't comment on the latter belief, multiple new sources are now confirming Bowden's earlier information - which almost certainly places the former MVP and 3-time All-Star in the position of courting 4 year, 9-figure contract offers.
