I've been trying to do the math. By all accounts, Michael Soroka is supposed to be a free agent in the 2024/2025 offseason. However, because he's not down in AAA on an injury rehab -- instead, he's down via his last option-year, he's not accruing MLB service time. He currently sits at 4 years and 122 days. I believe 172 days equates to a full MLB service year, so Soroka is highly likely to finish 2023 with less than 4.172, or 5 years, of service time.
Doesn't that mean, if he's on our roster all season in 2024, that he'd technically be just-shy of 6 years service time? Meaning he wouldn't be a free agent, and the Braves would still retain him for 2025?
If so, bravo Mr. Anthopolous. Another game of chess -- and with all the money the Braves have spent on Soroka to continue rehabbing while pulling in $2M+ per year to do so, I think it's justified to squeeze out an extra year in your ROI.
