GDT 8/22/22: Braves @ Pirates - Scrubbing the Odor of Odorizzi

I think he's already met the requirements to guarantee the 6.25m buyout. I think he could pretty easily receive at least a 1 year contract in excess of 6 million, so I think he takes the buyout. If he does opt in, like you said he should be fairly easy to move, especially if we eat 4-5 million or take on another contract.
 
The value of opting in for Odorizzi appears to be in the incentives for starts. Hard to think Odorizzi sees a path to a bunch of starts in an Atlanta rotation that will likely feature Fried, Wright, Strider and Soroka with potentially Anderson, Muller and Morton also in the picture.
