Gausman claimed by the Reds per Passan

[Chico]

That was unexpected

[sturg33]

[Southcack77]

wow.

I thought he might be non-tendered before arb, but certainly not released.

[thewupk]

Well that was sooner than expected. I guess Folty will be back against the Twins?

[nsacpi]

I thought one of Gausman or Teheran would be moved or not brought back this off-season. Guess its Gausman. So we save about 3M.

He might have helped us in the pen in September/October.

I don't like the move, we'd been better off trying Gausman as closer with that splitter and skipping the Greene trade altogether. His velo out of the pen would be better and he could do well closing with his splitter. Oh well.

Wait...I thought waivers didn’t exist anymore after July 31?

[CJ9]

Likely was a DFA this offseason anyway, but it's more money off the books for this offseason.

You just can't work out a trade. He was straight claimed.

[msstate7]

Let that be a lesson to all... 1 more K with the game on the line, and you gone Duvall. One more BS, and you gone Greene. One more... well, you get it

Haha

Shane Greene you're next!

Wonder if there was something going on that we don't know about -- maybe clubhouse issues with him or he was refusing to adapt/pitch the way the front office wanted? This just feels really drastic without even trying him in the pen.

So Julio has saved his job for another year.

Julion has quietly been very good this year. With a BB rate over 4, it's likely a good bit of smoke and mirrors, but he's absolutely been an asset this year. No one reason he shouldn't be brought back for 2020 as a 4th/5th starter.

I imagine it's a combination of performance and money saving since he apparently went beyond on budget last week.

[UNCBlue012]

Well, Folty is back to start tomorrow. Hopefully, this is the beginning of good things!

I'm grateful for Gausman's second half, but man he was woeful this year.

Still better than Bumgarner ;)

[bravesfanMatt]

So this is the curve we have been hearing all about with Gasman.

[Enscheff]

Very disappointing ending for Gausman's stint in Atlanta, and I'm not sure what the club gains by letting him go for nothing other than saving a bit of cash.

I hope the Braves didn't suddenly need to shave payroll.

This was my first thought as well, since AA went over his budget. But I'm sure had he performed better these last 2 starts he would still be here.

[NinersSBChamps]

lol.
It’s funny that they traded for him and he’s been pretty terrible this season.
The other hand is that they saw he sucked and cut ties and that’s a plus.
