Considering Braves offered him 6 yr 100 mill, im guessing it was around there for the other teams. Swanson was also willing to give the Braves a big hometown discount
His option years will prevent the cubs from getting anything of value in return. Might be able to get something if they pay his salary for the year and his opt out money next year.
That was me as well, but i think its more likely in this case given he’s approaching his previous innings high and has been struggling with some ineffectiveness. And that he was IL’ed as soon as they managed to grab some insurance in the absolute legend that is Vinny Nittoli
Good to see Mastrobuoni get an appearance last night. His wRC+ on the season is a whopping 7.
There’s definitely no one in Iowa that can or has outperformed that this season
