November 24, 20205 yr 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
November 24, 20205 yr 6 minutes ago, bmags said: He matches his declined option: No sign of depressed prices. To be honest, that seems like an absolute steal for one year of Morton who is arguably the 2nd best starter on the market in terms of projected 2021 impact.
November 24, 20205 yr Morton is 37 yrs old. If the Sox trade for Lynn and sign him to a 2yr/$30M extension he'll be 36 at the end of the contract.

November 24, 20205 yr 2 minutes ago, fathom said: Wonder if this takes them out of the Snell hunt No way they add another starter at this point. Right now they are rocking Fried, Anderson, Soroka, Morton, & Smyly, with Wright, Touki, and others already behind them.

November 24, 20205 yr 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? https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/free-agent-tracker 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. Edited November 24, 20205 yr by South Side Hit Men
