Braves Reach Deal With Jonny Venters

[Knucksie]

Probably someone from this board.

It may have been spread here by somebody who saw it at MLBTR.

Who started the internet rumor that he was a non-tender candidate?

MLBTR has had him on their list for months.

I'd like to see us also try to bring back EOF at about $2M.

but he's a free agent and Venters was not, so it'll be difficult.

Nice move by the braves. Need maybe one more signing to keep the pen rock solid.

Worth the gamble, imo. Even if he never touches 94-96 again, he'll still be a solid relief option. Here's hoping he doesn't experience Beachy level setbacks.

I can imagine Fredi's brain melting trying to decide whose arm he should try to wreck more, Avilan, or his old flame, Everyday Jonny...

We need to sign another crazy for the pen, like Luis Ayala, who will agree to get dosed up on psych drugs and become Fredi's bitchboy.
