The Braves were among the teams present to scout Marcus Stroman’s latest outing, per David O’Brien of The Athletic (via Twitter). The Braves are in many ways the perfect partner for a team with a moveable asset like the Blue Jays, as Atlanta is flush with near-ready major league arms, but lacking the consistency it desires as a team positioned for the playoffs.
The asking price for Stroman is said to be high – in the area of what the Pirates surrendered for Chris Archer – but Toronto is likely taking the call even if Atlanta starts with one of its ready-but-struggling arms, depending on whom the Blue Jays favor from the group of Max Fried, Bryse Wilson, Sean Newcomb, Touki Toussaint and Kyle Wright.
Landing in Atlanta would reunite Stroman with Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos, who was the Jays’ GM when they drafted the hurler 22nd overall in 2012.
“That’s a solid deal for both sides.”We would even throw in Minter to sweeten the deal
No. Keeping things the same, i.e., not shaving, wearing the same shirt, etc. only applies to keeping good streaks going. The fact that you’ve coupled this current thing with a playoff series exit is even more concerning.I haven’t cut my hair or beard since the Braves lost in the playoffs last year does that count?
