Braves are really bolstering that team. That's going to be a top 3-4 team without injuries. Offense is dang good, now Fried, Soroka, Anderson, Morton, Smyly .. not too shabby

 

I imagine Soroka will miss next year because of the Achilles injury this season.

Can someone more familiar with Fan Graphs explain why Morton wasn't listed as a Top 50 Free Agent, or have a projected contract value, despite the fact his projected 2021 Projected WAR is 12th among free agents?

Wonder if they will update their tracker and add projections after non-tenders are announced, assuming players with significant WAR projections may be dropped this year in significant numbers for the first time.

Specific comment for this signing, it is $3.9M less than qualifying offers for Stroman (29) and Gausman (30), both with similar projected 2021 WAR. Assuming a somewhat reasonable market for Top 20 talent, it's a reasonable bargain for the Braves.
