What I don’t get about this move, is that I was told that the Donaldson signing is the reason the Braves didn’t acquire any pitching. Can someone explain this?

I wonder how front offices calculate the difference in starter innings vs reliever innings when deciding on innings limits. I think they have to weigh 6 innings spread over four appearances with four warmups in a week as more arm wear than the same pitcher would get from one 6 inning start.

I have to imagine modern FOs are measuring pitcher usage and the need for rest in more sophisticated ways than innings counts, but it's the easiest thing for us to talk about in the public sphere.
Teams likely use data on spin rates and velocity and location and who knows what else that allows them to say "Joe Pitcher is getting tired, he needs 10 days".

Which means if they can swing a package with Stroman or Madbum that includes relievers ...that’s still in play.
That would also move Fried to the bull pen and limit his innings which would be win/win to me.
What I don’t get is the faillies. How could they not spend some coin to grab one of these guys. Their pen is crushed and they are moving starters there which weakens the rotation. Wonder if neither guy wanted to pitch their with that small park.
I mean they can trade but their minors are already weakened.

would be amazing Keuchel came in and had a Javier Vazquez or Ervin Santana type year.
