    AA is doing exactly what ownership wants. He's probably going to get a nice bonus.

    Not over paying for an aging reliever is a failure?

    not making us a better team, at least for the most part, is. Kimbrel makes the Nats much better. I wouldn’t care if they got Craig had we done more to make us better.

    So,

    Trying to think outside the box a little...

    Looks like the Cubs have no place for Tyler Chatwood and the $25.5M he's owed (12.5, 13) in 2019, 20. On MLBTR they speculate that the Cubs would have to eat "a lot" of what he's owed to move him.

    So, I was thinking, what about a Braves/Cubs trade Adam Duvall going to the Cubs in exchange for Ian Happ and Chatwood with the Braves taking all Chatwood's money. Braves would likely have to include a prospect, but not a really good one, maybe a guy like Tucker Davidson.

    Chatwood fits into the back of the Braves rotation with Teheran for 19 then takes Teheran's spot in 20. In 19 it allows the Braves to start the youngsters in the minors, assuming and allowing health to return and more experience to be gained. Happ replaces Duvall and "could" be the starting LF with Acuna sliding over to replace Markakis in RF pushing Markakis into a back up role on most days. Happ gives the Braves another young controllable OF with versatility and to get him all they would really have to do is be willing to spend money. if they don't get anything at all from Chatwood then they are likely still better off. If they get Teheran level performance from Chatwood then they are far ahead.

    Assuming health, the Braves opening day rotation would be: Folty, Gausman, Newk, Teheran, Chatwood with Soroka, Fried, Touki, Wright, Wilson and Gohara sitting in AAA. Of course some won't be healthy.

    hopefully he can stay healthy this year, he didn't say so but his condition effected his play the second half last year according to what i heard.

    He did hit 30 in back-to-back seasons 2016 and 2017. He can hit HRs.

    Overpaying for an aging reliever, whose stuff isnt as good as it used to be which would cost a 2nd pick. Would mean AA needs to be fired? You're really a hot take machine who knows nothing about baseball.

    Apparently the Nats are refusing to go passed the luxury tax. Which would mean he could get like 4.5 million this year. Unless they backloaded the hell outta that thing he’s likely not going there

    AND cost them their third and sixth round picks
