Gavin Floyd signs with Atlanta

[foxfield]

It's the Braves.

Maybe cause they are gonna trade their entire staff for a catcher and there fore need extra pitching.

Ducks and hides.

Well there you go clearly dodged a bullet by not going after Floyd

after all the Braves are not a well run organization that always puts together an above average pitching staff.

This isn't a huge move but it's low risk. The Braves were notably right there with us in the losers category for this off season so far. This must give us sole possession.

I don't think Floyd would have improved the team much, if at all. Not saying that that's what you were saying, but signing him still would've left the Orioles at the bottom of the heap in re: the offseason, IMO.

Agreed, even at his best he hasn't been great. Lil bit of snark on my part.

Floyd or Neimann would both be high upside vets to bring in for the 5th spot. With the way things have worked out I could see us in on the Korean guy. No posting fee. No draft pick. Heck I'm surprised we havent brought Wada back.

The Orioles do not feel that Wada is a major league pitcher.

Some of us are in agreement with that.

I still say he goes back to Japan.

Gavin Floyd is an ace in Japan.

Gavin Floyd is an ace in Japan.

Ross Wolf got a job in Korea.

Maybe this could have been figured out $8M ago.

They thought he was, pre-injury.

Not all of us agreed of course.
