    - Soroka will need his innings monitored.
    - Folty's been up and down.

    Depending what the price, i think at most it would be a 3 year deal, maybe 1-2 years. But the rotation needs something right now. Not sure they sign him still, but he'd be a much needed addition.
    I largely agree with your assessment. Braves SPs xwOBA so far (not including Folty's start today):

    Mike Foltynewicz 0.347
    Kevin Gausman 0.319
    Julio Teheran 0.318
    Max Fried 0.304
    Mike Soroka 0.278

    That's a #2 stud who is likely on an innings limit, a solid #3 who will also likely be limited a bit, a couple #4s, and a guy everyone hopes is figuring it out after an injury scare.

    DK will take a while to be MLB ready, so at that time some of this will probably have sorted itself out.

    I'd be fine if it was a 2 year deal. We're probably non-tendering Gausman this winter anyway. He's projected to get around 11-13 million, DK would take that.

    do you not see the difference between committing $23M for one year, and $45M for 2.5? on a reliever, no less?
    There's a list of players a mile long who could have 70rbi batting in the 2-4 spots. Donaldson doesn't suck, but the money could have been better used elsewhere.

    You’re using the RBI stat like it actually means anything. That’s your first issue.

    and that's fine. We probably aren't beating out the Yankees with that though.

    Fair enough, what about a .248 average. 8 homers. That's not worth 23 mil.

    He's always been a 2nd half player. So I'll hold out hope.

    One day we will all realize that RBI is a meaningless stat when using it to determine a players worth.

    What does he do then? Walk? I don't need my cleanup hitter walking. I need him talking swings.

    You might need that. But the Braves just need him to be a 3 WAR player to be worth his contract. That comes from his overall offensive production plus what he does in the field.

    Gausman could be pretty nasty out of the pen.

    Dallas' agent probably just trying to get the Phillies to do something stupid. I really want Dallas, but it doesn't seem like we ever get this kind of deal done

    Seems to be something to this one... DOB was back pedaling and Bowman was retweeting one of the reports.

    So you’d rather him strikeout? And who cares where he’s hitting in the order? He really should be hitting 2nd. Would him walking be ok then? JD is doing exactly what we need him to be doing. Jus because the old fashioned stats you keep quoting don’t show that doesn’t mean it’s not true.

    Old fashioned stats, lol. If I want walks, we could just sign Jose Bautista for a lot less. I want my 4 hitter driving in runs.

    You are correct though, he should be batting higher up...but he's not. If we need him to bat .248, then I guess we're getting our money's worth.
