jeffro2000 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Wow. I'm shocked they did anything. We needed some help and just need a couple of bullpen guys now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATL Fan in the DMV Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) We need the help after what Gausman and Folty have been giving us (admittedly, Folty has been better lately) . Heck, those two may not even be here next year. As with everything, waiting on the terms before I can fully embrace it.

Falconsfan567 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Holy ****!! The Braves signed Keuchel? I can't believe it. Let's just hope that it doesn't take him 2 months before he's actually useful. maorifalcon, Drew4719, roguebeaver and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

putnam6 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 At least they tried something, now lets hope he is lights out, and can get some innings and be a vet the young arms can learn from. g-dawg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Keuchel gets 1 year $13M. He starts for Gwinnett on Saturday. Yankees finished 2nd with a $11-12M offer. It was somewhere in between. DOB said the Braves still have enough in the budget to acquire one top RP in July. Any other bullpen help would need to be on the cheaper end.

Black Francis Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Much needed arm in the rotation if it works. Hope it helps the Braves and my fantasy team too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 One thing that likely helped the Braves was McCann. McCann was Keuchel's catcher in Houston. Keuchel has talked about how good their chemistry was during the Houston days. Drew4719, Falconsfan567, putnam6 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Another note on Keuchel. Hes apparently well known as a great leader in the clubhouse. Hes more than willing to take the younger guys in and show them the ropes. putnam6, Falconsfan567, sdogg and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLBrave Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I wasn't thrilled about Keuchel long-term, but definitely like him here for the remainder of the season. Falconsfan567 and ATL Fan in the DMV 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 San Diego was willing to go long term with Keuchel but he reportedly wanted bigger markets. Didnt seriously listen to their offer as a result. ATLBrave and Drew4719 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
