If Gausman is going to the pen I would guess that pretty much seals that he will be non-tendered or traded in the offseason. Unless he becomes a dominant closer I dont see them paying him 10+ million to be a setup man or long reliever next year.
As for Newk. I prefer to leave him in the pen. We need him more there and I like having him for games like this. If he can sustain some success this year in the pen pitching more than an inning at a time then maybe we can see about him starting next year.
.237 with 8 homers for 23M sign of the year. Meantime we wouldn't give CK multiple years?
I don’t know—it depends on how the rest of the year goes, for Gausman as well as for the Braves’ coterie of young pitchers. But I could see them declining Teheran’s option and using that cash for one more season of Gausman, given his peripherals and past performance; depth is always a good problem to have.
Even with his rotten recent stretch, Donaldson’s still on pace for around 3.0 war, which is totally in-line with his salary for 2019; I think he ends up surpassing that by around 1.0 war, getting to 4.0, which will make him a solid value on the risk-negligible one-year compact.
In other words: you’re just objectively wrong here.
Kimbrel’s more debatable, since he’s better than the vast majority of relievers; but the vast majority of multi-year high-dollar relief deals end poorly for the teams that ink them, and Kimbrel’s being on the wrong side of thirty with decline signs hedges against his historical greatness heretofore.
