Braves acquire Chris Martin for Allard

[Hudson2]

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

 

[Super]

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

 

[jpx7]

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

 

[Enscheff]

I just went to BRef to see his contract status. So you're prob right.

I honestly don’t know

My how Allard has fallen.

I was told he was going to be a Top 25 prospect, and all he got was a rental BP arm?

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

I honestly don’t know

BRef says. So yeah idk.

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.

And did it pitching in a hitter's park in TEX. So that's good.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

A 3.08 ERA playing your home games in Arlington is not too shabby

 

[rico43]

He's a rental. Has a contract that specifies free agency after this season.

Very low walk rate this year and last.

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.

 

[nsacpi]

FG has him as signed to a $4M deal over 2 years, 1.113 years of service time and a FA in 2020.

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.

 

[Heyward]

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.

Wtf

Relievers are fungible; sometimes dead is better.

 

[BeanieAntics]

Okay, we have to figure out the contract situation. Its driving me crazy.

 

[Heyward]

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

Seen mixed reports on the control for Martin.

 

[Russ2dollas]

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.
