Unknøwn 13,302 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Folty will start tomorrow. Something tells me Gausmans stubbornness to throw his other pitches got him ran out of town. mountain_jim3, jidady, ATL Fan in the DMV and 4 others 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ATLFalcon36 2,826 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Good Riddance... Thanks for being a great addition last year, and go **** yourself for how terribly ****** you were this year - but best of luck to ya Gausman unless we're playing you, in which case you'll look like Cy Young-incarnate b/c Georgia sports.

Unknøwn 13,302 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 DOB points out that Gausman would have been non-tendered in the winter anyway. With a crowded roster and nowhere to use him might as well send him packing now. Also saves money as the Reds will take on what's left of his $9M salary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's an EXCELLENT chance, based on how others have performed (or not performed), that Folty puts on a Braves uniform again for next year, so I'd mentally prepare yourself for that, since you've been one of the guys that poop on him for body language and being emotional. Trade him, and based on how pitcher's can go, you're an injury, then underperformance away from the rotation looking like: Soroka Anderson (too early for him then) Wilson Wright Davidson And I think the Braves have 0 interest in repeating what happened this spring that led to two rookies starting in a hyped out Philadelphia environment. So, sorry to break the news, but unless they get good value out of trading him, Mike Foltynewicz has about a 90% chance of being an Atlanta Brave next year again. They'll bring him back, then sign a guy (maybe Keuchel or someone else), and likely go: Soroka Fried Acquisition Teheran Foltynewicz THEN, if Folty's eMOTiOnS get to him, then Teheran's peripherals catch up to him and he has to be removed as well, simply bringing both back gives guys like Anderson, Davidson, etc more time than "we need you IMMEDIATELY" because of this and that.

Since he's due a raise that will take him in the $8-$11 million range, it's not an EXCELLENT chance, though. As you just noted, we have similar options that are much cheaper.

Id say there is a good chance we will sign Keuchel to another contract at the end of the year, until our young guys are ready Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But the cheaper options I noted, the Braves might not declare them to be major league ready, and have what happened in the spring and opening series still fresh in memory and not want to repeat it, leading them to keep all of the depth. That's why I think the odds are very high they choose to put up with Folty until at least July 2020. Only way he's NOT on next year's team, is if they can add him to a deal for a stud young major league player (like what Haniger would've been or Realmuto before the Phillies got him). That's the only way. Otherwise? Say hello to Mike Foltynewicz, Atlanta Brave in 2020. 8 minutes ago, LouDog said: Id say there is a good chance we will sign Keuchel to another contract at the end of the year, until our young guys are ready They might well do that and simply have no acquisition made and go: Soroka/Keuchel/Teheran/Fried/Folty until something happens as far as I care, we need to be pencilling Folty into the 2020 rotation.
