The #Braves have signed right-handed reliever Nick Masset. Cody Martin was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to make room for Masset

Beat me to it.
I read Cornely was dfa'd as well? That creates an extra spot?

Not on the active roster - would probably assume that an attempt to stretch Martin out definitely would mean the end of any thought of returning Stults to the rotation at any point with Wisler and Banuelos breathing down his neck. JMO, but the overall staff would be MUCH better if they'd send Perez back down to stay stretched out following his start tomorrow. We'd probably be in a much better position to have defined pen roles with Martin in the pen since he adjusted to the role relatively well - sure looked like Perez will struggle to throw strikes consistently if he's in the pen to me.
CL- Grilli
SU- Johnson
SU- Martin
RP- Avilan
RP- Masset
RP- Stults
LR- Cahill
Mix-and-match with Wisler, Banuelos, and Perez the rest of the way in the 5th spot (skipping starts whenever possible) to limit service-time and IP for all three and allow them to get more comfortable at the MLB level before having a full-fledged open competition for that slot next spring.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?
This looks like a good pickup. Yet another guy where it's hard to tell why he was released by a team that has known bullpen issues.
Sweet...another top 50 prospect at the deadline!

I think Dalyn's heart is breaking somewhere while reading this.

I'm legitimately worried for him.

Yep. He'll have to be put on suicide watch. :)

I thought for sure this was going to say 'Cody Ross' when I clicked on it from the forum index.
Hey - I didn't know someone posted Mike Matheny's postgame shower on YouTube after he was fired!!!
LOL

Well this sucks. I can't think of a good pun for any of these guys.
Maybe something about corn for Cornely.....
If he's got big ears Masset Hound would be good

What does mix and match mean?
Honestly, does anything else make any kind of even remote sense?
DOB said Martin was going to join the AAA rotation, so it seems like that's exactly what is going to happen.
If Massett is solid, then the Braves bullpen could be okay with Avilan, Johnson and Grilli pitching pretty good this year. We still need another lefty but maybe Stults can be that guy.
