2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

Did you by chance see why he was DFA'd? He threw a temper tantrum for having to pitch in that blowout game vs the Mets last night, and was released shortly after.

He claims his anger stemmed from conflicting messages from the umpires (one asking him to work quicker; another threatening balk if he didn’t slow down), rather than from being asked to pitch in a blowout. A tantrum either way, but beggars can’t be choosers for bullpen improvements. And while there are moral stands to take, I don’t think refusing to employ a glove-thrower is a worthy one.

Probably moot, anyways, as I doubt the Braves get the chance to scoop him. But they should, if they can.

I mean personally I don't care. But you know, the "Braves Way" and all that, if that even exists anymore with the new regime.

One can always hope it does not.
