We'll get a better prospect back after we offer C-Mart a qualifying offer.
thank you weso1!
Allard has value. He’s 21 and cheap. I think he could be a fifth starter or a long guy.
I get we need room in aaa for pitchers. I get there are 40 man issues.
I’d deal him in a heart beat. I just didn’t think rental reliever when Stroman just went for two 45s.
This deal makes me think aa was going to release him next year or leave him unprotected in rule 5.
This goes to show you cant predict what AA will do. Linked to a bunch of guys and get someone, no one talked about.

Even look at how the deal was reported. With other deals, it gets leaked to the media earlier in the process and word gets out and there’s a while before it’s official.
This time, there were 15 minutes between Rosenthal breaking the news and the Braves officially announcing it. And I’m sure that’s only because the Braves leaked it to him as they were putting together a press release.
Ive been the low man around here on Allard for years, but even I thought he had more value than this.
This is my feeling too. I wasn't attached, but I still expect him to spend a few years in a rotation somewhere. This does not seem to measure up value wise to the deadline deals last year.
Happy to have Martin. He's a very nice addition at the biggest position of need.
Go get him!
