Mercy sakes, they’ve signed Tomlin up again..... CHAMPIONSHIP! They got him real cheap... there's that. With Ynoa, Wilson, and some others who could take the long relief role, not sure I get this unless it's just real cheap insurance.

I could understand that, but really Charlie Culberson is just as good as Tomlin. What good is cheap when it’s damn near completely worthless. I get the sense that Snitz thinks Tomlin is one of those go-to veteran presents baseball pitcher guys.

I think Culberson being just as good is a tiny stretch, but some of our young talent that may not be able to quite crack the rotation have a lot more upside. With Snit at the helm though they will be delayed as he has a lot more faith in the veteran presents.

Tomlin has his uses. He can eat innings, even if he sometimes gets shelled in the process, every bullpen needs thst kind of piece. I hate it for Culberson considering what he did prior to this season, but moving forward it is obvious there is no longer a role for him with this team. Hopefully a NL central or west team picks him up.

Tomlin got shelled about the last 10-12 times he pitched. I agree with the previous sentiment we should have a yute or two that could get some experience in that role. Hell, technically that’s Luke’s role now. As most people would see it anyway.

Does Neck get signed before or after I take off on my sabbatical?
I was expecting to be gone by now, and I'm only waiting for Sydney Powell to produce or go away. She says she thinks they'll have proved things in court within two weeks from today. That would be around December 4th or so.
I'm going to call "after."
Somewhere after about the 8th or 10th but before Christmas.
It could even be after the New Year.
I think AA keeps a close enough eye on the opinion of Braves fans to at least try to make things LOOK a certain way. So they can't sign him right away, not with all the FA's out there. Have to let that play out a little and then say this guy just wasn't the right fit or that guy wanted too much money, we thought about all of them but blah blah blah blah and then BLAMMO!!!
Neck for one year at $2M.

David O'Brien @dobrienatl #Braves are sending pitchers Patrick Weigel and Chad Sobotka to Brewers in exchange for INF Orlando Arcia.
Seemingly a pretty pointless non impact trade. Not sure I see why Arcia was even worth more than just Sobotka.

Not sure I see why Arcia was even worth more than just Sobotka. We've become obsessed with collecting .650 career OPS backup infielders.
Oh well, getting rid of Sobotka is worth it, I'd take a rock in return for him and be thrilled.

Atlanta makes a slew of shrewd (and cheap) free signings in last few days with a reliever (Shane Greene, prorated $1.5M), a catcher (Tyler Flowers, prorated $1.5M) and a starter (Tanner Roark, minor league deal)
