Who are u thinking as far as lesser arms. Ian Kennedy replaces what Colon was supposed to do. Is that what we have to look forward to.
In that case I'd almost rather see if either Blair or Wisler have anything to offer.
We've had unusual health in our starting rotation this year. In a normal year guys in AAA like Wisler would accumulate a fair number of major league starts. It may yet happen.
But I think the plan for 2018 will be to have four "established" starters and one guy who is learning (probably Nook but could be one of the others).
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
A Teheran trade is obviously a big longshot, but here's what Heyman had to say in his latest.
https://www.fanragsports.com/mlb/ins...y-gray-market/2. Julio Teheran, Braves. The Braves listen to almost anything. As reported here three weeks ago, they would consider trading Teheran (and the Astros had already called). Atlanta, thanks to some amazing recent play, are on the cusp of contending. But so far SunTrust hasn’t exactly agreed with him. And like we said, the Braves consider anything. The ask is “really high,” says a Braves connected person. “A package of big-league players.”
The goal now is to sell tickets, not commit money long term, and keep the farm. A guy like Verlander checks those boxes. Ironically he needs to pull a Smoltz and change his style a bit to stay relevant.
I would not want to give up a lot for him. I don't think salary will be much of an issue.
I think the battery is making the Braves a ton of money.
RPs making money are also a little different than SPs making peanuts.
