I wouldn't mind this move, I honestly thought he would of been a good fit last year. He's not a great hitter but he's pretty damn consistent and stays healthy. I'd take him over Zeke.
Seems like this would be a good salary relief move for the Braves.
I mean he's from there, so not surprising it he wants to prioritise them. Players really only care about money and winning, I'm sure if we could set up a winning culture here players would be happy to play here.
Hard to see how we could offer him something better than what the Yankees could but I still have some expectations especially considering how many people from the Jays front office went to scout him.
He seems like a good fit. I thought the Jays might of been the 2nd team too but I don't know the Jays have gone years by just looking for reclamation project bullpen pieces.
I'm perfectly happy with what the front office is doing. They are keeping the MLB team interesting and signing prospects. Going full sell mode and tanking doesn't mean you are going to get better, we've seen top prospect after top prospect fail.
All you have to do is make a playoff spot and anything can happen. I didn't think the Yankees had any shot this year with their Rotation they still took Houston to 7 games in the ALCS.
Nice pick up, I wanted us to draft this guy in 2011. Shame injuries and drugs have held him back, maybe he can be a good pen arm if not a depth starter.
Crazy how fast time can pass sometimes, 6 years ago we drafted Tyler Beede.
