Wasn’t Milone sent to the 10 day IL. That should be ending right??
Moot point though. We all know Tomlin will get the start.

Right - 10-Day IL. On the 10th, so it's reasonable to think they could activate him tonight, release him, and replace him with Folty. Just seems like someone would have heard some kind of whisper about that by now. Can always hope, I guess.
Put Folty in my rotation in a league where we set lineups weekly last week when everything pointed to him coming back then FWIW - left him in when they locked today just in case, but don't expect it. Maybe I get happily surprised.

Bryce Wilson was recalled, in the immediate.
Big time.
That’s the risk you take betting on vets with lots of mileage.
If your going to do a one year prove it deal you do so with a guy like Bauer in his prime
By far.

Braves Legend, Cole Hamels.
Not sure it can be anyone other than Folty now - no one else has ever pitched in a playoff game.

Clevinger didnt make much, thats not why the Braves didnt trade for him.

They weren't pinching pennies pre-CoVid. Lot's of Captain Hindsight takes in this thread.
And like Heyward said, salary was decidedly not the reason the Braves were unwilling or unable to acquire Clevinger. Cleveland seems to have prioritized more immediate help, as the expense of longer-term value; and, if reports are to be believed, they were asking for a pretty large talent premium from the Braves to ignore that prioritization.
Meanwhile, if anything can be learned from the Hamels situation, it's that it might be better in the future to spread that ~$18m between two ~$8–10m deals for veteran starting depth. Pitchers are, if nothing else, volatile—so it's probably better to make two moderately-priced bets than one pricey bet.
If you listened to the interview with AA closely, he mentioned that they've been in contact with the League Office about 40-Man Roster changes - not sure who else you add other than Folty unless it's Muller. Only arms in Gwinnett not currently on the 40 are Folty, Chacin, Muller, Shuster, Strider, Vodnik - and Culberson.

He made 640K prorated, so yeah money wasnt an issue for Clev. Padres gave them MLB ready guys to help them now, we couldnt do that. They had the best trade package, we didnt, simple.

Padres had the best trade package and Clev made 4M/640K prorated, not like he made 20+ mil. Not defending AA here and he should have done something better than Milone, but we couldnt beat that deal without severely hurting our MLB roster.
Only real problem with that is that most 8-10 million dollar guys are like Teheran. Sometimes you hit with guys like Anibal Sanchez but I'd rather aim higher and let the kids fill out the back end rotation spots.
