    Martin is having a good year. If he’s healthy then it’s a good move.

    unfortunately Allard’s value is sapped. his chances of being anything at all are slim.

    Like his control, will like this more if he does indeed have more years of control.

    How the heck is being under control through 2022 a rental?

    We needed 2 bullpen arms so there’s one of them. 4 walks in 38 innings is very nice

    If so a 33 year old BP arm with extra control.

    Allard is a good get for a rental.
    Elaborate. How does someone get a contract that allows for free agency two years before he's entitled? Never heard of that kind of clause before. Not saying it's not the case, but it's something I'm learning about.

    Pretty sure that FA date is wrong, but it’s an odd career arc.
    I think he went off and pitched abroad. That's why the major league service time is low and the contract allows him to hit free agency before 6 years service time.

    He doesnt have much clock time, so i'm not sure about the contract stuff.

    Passan said 4 years of control, Ken said he's a rental.

    I feel like foreign players get contracts like that to avoid being arb eligible.

    Either way, control over a 33 year old BP arm isn’t a huge deal.

    I loved Allard coming out of the draft, sad how low his value has fallen.

    Seen mixed reports on the control for Martin.

    Seems like an overpay to me from aa.

    Clear that we had 40 man issues and innings issues in the upper minors. Moving allard helps with both.

    If he’s got a ton of control I get it. If he’s a rental I do not.
