Man it sure seems like we should do better than that. Not that he was ever that good at any point in his career, but this guy is out of gas. Now we'll have two spots taken up by Tomlin and Luke Jackson.

So Stroman resigned with the Mets and Gausman with the Giants. Both for $18.9 million (way too much for Gausman if you ask me). So that's two free agent starters off the board. The Yankees are expected to resign Tanaka. The big prize is still out there...Bauer. Do you think the Braves will make a run and how much will it take to sign him. Or they could always bring Julio back, or Milone, or Erlin...that sounds more likely.

I don't think we will offer what Bauer will get.

This is one of the few times we’re ever going to cough up the big money for a top FA pitcher. The timing is right and the player is right.

I'm just not sold on him being THAT good. Up to this point, he's been good with a great 2 and a half month run at a very opportune time.

I'm just not sold on him being THAT good. Up to this point, he's been good with a great 2 and a half month run at a very opportune time. It’s always a risk with every single player, but he looks primed to me, and we need a veteran leader on our pitching staff. I’d take my chances and I rarely say that. Of course a few times I said it it would ended up being a terrible decision. I just know I wouldn’t want to be the guy making those decisions. I’ve never shied away from pressure, but man, you can end up with millions of people hating you and damning your soul to hell!

We need that guy who could at any time snap, so I'm fine with this.

Braves at least go to the world series ifthey get Bauer. That's already going to be a ++ rotation with Soroka back.

I wish Kyle farnsworth were still around. That Marlins beaning jazz wouldn’t work with him on the mound. Ask Paul Wilson about it.
