So this is the curve we have been hearing all about with Gasman.
Coppy
Crazy. We'll always have 2018 post deadline.
Derek Johnson will straighten him out and he will be great with the Reds
Very disappointing ending for Gausman's stint in Atlanta, and I'm not sure what the club gains by letting him go for nothing other than saving a bit of cash.
I hope the Braves didn't suddenly need to shave payroll.

lol.
It’s funny that they traded for him and he’s been pretty terrible this season.
The other hand is that they saw he sucked and cut ties and that’s a plus.

I doubt the Melancon move was directly responsible, but money likely factored into this decision along with his performance. I think it's pretty clear at this point that he was going to be non-tendered this off-season anyways and it's possible AA just didn't think he was one of our best 12-13 pitchers.
A 40 man roster move is forthcoming and I think it will shed a little more light on the subject. I think it will be Anderson.

They needed the roster spot. We are low on guys with options now.
They must have decided there was no way he would stay on the team next year. I think it’s likely one of Wright, Touki, Wilson Davidson or Anderson can outperform gausman.
Last year still made him worth the cost to get him.
Yeah I'm guessing AA had seen enough so if someone is willing to give you $3m back might as well

Probably didn't expect him to be selected and not butthurt when he was.

I think this was pretty risky. Philadelphia certainly could've used him.
