    Maybe AA and scouting department thinks they can prolong Melancon's career. How long is he signed for.

    So it's essentially a straight salary dump. Definitely not the value move that we are used to AA making.

Even if Melancon pitches as well next year as he has this year, he’ll only be worth about two-thirds of his salary; he’d have to return to his Pirates peak to meet or best his dollar-mark.

    Yup. Astros and Braves (2 first place teams) overpaying at the deadline to win in October.

    It doesn’t have to be a bad value when you take on a salary.

    Melancon has been pretty good for a while. Here's his stats since beginning of 2017 season...

    8.12 k9
    2.84 bb9
    3.33 fip
    .363 babip

    Pretty much in line with this season...
    8.55 k9
    3.11 bb9
    3.33 fip
    .354 babip

    yep, sorry i support AA but this is not how you spend 14 million. Giant fans cannot believe he unloaded this contract.

    While every move and contract should be valued independently for value, it’s hard not to look at the surplus value from a Acuņa and Albies and not be a little more okay with Melancon’s contract for the next year.

    Melancon is a .300 xwOBA BP arm.

    The Braves are paying him $14M in 2020.

    Not awesome...

    While we are complaining about paying Melancon 14 million next year we could be the Cubs and be paying Kimbrel 14 million per year for the next two. The same Kimbrel 8.01 FIP at -0.6 fWAR in 2019 who's also earning 14 million this year.
