O's claim Terdo

[bravesfanforlife88]

He was on waivers to make room for K.J. sucks to see him go.

He's probably better off in the AL. LF/1B/DH type.

agree, hate to see him go.. but I think he is better off. no place on this team right now.

Similar player to Swisher but healthier and would have been under our control for a while. Dumb to let him go.

[Dalyn]

Good to see someone take a floater on him.

[buck75]

Wish him well. I thought someone would claim him.

Nice.

Seriously, though, I thought he might hold a spot down if you ever got a shot. Probably not, but I hope he gets the chance.

Welp, I was wrong about him passing through waivers. The Braves were obviously good with it though, as these waivers are revocable. With the bench already full, the only chance for Terdo or Swisher to make the team would be an injury in Spring Training to someone like Freeman, Olivera, or KJ. So even now, Swisher is just injury insurance.

Also, we currently only have one candidate for the 60-day DL (Paco), so was going to be very hard for Terdo to survive the 40-man roster crunch and be optioned down to AAA (since we'll likely need to add several pitchers to the 40-man that are on MiLB deals).

He never really had a place with us, and wouldn't for the foreseeable future. He won't cut it in the majors as a corner outfielder due to his defense, and Freddie will have his natural position for a long while. Hope he finds success in Baltimore as a backup to Trumbo.

[Julio3000]

Well, he was just. . .

[mqt]

Oh well. I think I gave up on Terdo becoming a contributor here about 2 years ago.

I hope he ends up with a team where he can wear jersey #2

Welcome to the Board, Fellow Braves Fan.

Looks like the O's are loading up.

[bravesfanforlife88]

They'll probably stand pat then blow it up right at the deadline

We knew there wasn't going to be any movement for him here, so I'm glad to see someone scoop him up. Best case is he drops bombs all over Camden Yards. Worst case is he stinks up the joint, clogs the bases, etc.

The Braves signed Kelly Johnson?
