Braves sign Justus Sheffield

He’s from Tennessee so I’m here for all the “I grew up a Braves fan” and then AA proceeds to milk value out of him for the next few seasons.

dude is gonna pitch lights out somehow.

once he meets CYs mom, it's lights out for the rest of the league. She'll help him find that fountain of youth

He just always wanted to be a Brave. Not being a Brave is what has held him back.

If only Chip were here.

“There’s nothing wrong with this kid’s fastball.” As he pumps 91 in the middle of the plate.
 
I was still in Seattle when Sheffield had his good Covid year and looked like Dipoto had fleeced the Yankees, but his relationship with home plate always felt a little tenuous. His line this year is way beyond ordinary control problems, though. He's gotta be hurt.
 
This would have been a big deal five years ago, in no small part because Sheffield was still under contract with the Yankees and it would have been a huge scandal for the Braves to sign him in spite of that.
