Gohara DFA'd

[The Tariff King]

Finnish.

 

[thewupk]

lol

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Is this real

 

[jpx7]

I’m legit sad about this—Brazilians should never be Finnish.

I do hope they re-sign him to a minor-league deal.

 

[Jay212033]

Wooooow!

 

[Braves1976]

wow, this sucks.

 

[50PoundHead]

Designated Fat A**.

 

[sturg33]

Pitching prospects are just so risky

 

[Skeeter31]

I at least thought he’d make it to the offseason but I’ve called this for weeks.

 

[50PoundHead]

While a lot of folks want gaga for the deal, I was always a bit skeptical though I admittedly didn't know a lot about Gohara. He just looked like a tub of goo to me and while that can be very misleading, I did like Mallex Smith.

 

[TheBravos]

Tells me they have little hope in that shoulder.

 

[Coredor]

That could be to get him off the 40. Wouldn’t another team have to put him on active if they claimed him. I’m not sure he’s gone.

 

[TheBravos]

Smart to do it at this time. I’d give it a 50/50 shot. Still a ton of talent...literally.

He would just have to go on the 40-man and not the active.

 

[atl717]

He is definitely getting claimed. Surely we could have found someone else to get rid of.

You think it’s a coincidence he was dfa after the deadline passed?

No harm in some team taking a flyer but his trade value was nil.

 

[Hulavol]

Guys .. Luis is done. I mean done done done.
Sad, but true.

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

I hate that. I can’t imagine having a parent die in my arms! The depression set in deep for him after that and he was never the same. I hope he can somehow have a good big league career in time and he has a fan for life in me.

 

[TheBravos]

And released. He was the ONE guy I still hoped would recover (even though I knew it was a pipe dream). So much talent.

 

[Enscheff]

This was the risk with Gohara from the day he was acquired. Too bad we no longer have access to the thread from the day he was acquired.
