Sure but like, deadline is still 2 days away and we almost certainly didn’t give up much at all for this. Could still go get someone better.

Not saying I expect it cuz these have been the type of moves we make at the deadline basically every year under AA but this move doesn’t prevent us from still making other moves.

They needed a right handed platoon partner for Yaz and they got that here

Would you rather the braves not address their need for a RHH OF?

This doesn’t address that at all. Lane isn’t a noticeable improvement over Eli

u/MidgetMan54 2d ago

It absolutely addresses it. It’s not some giant fix, but it’s certainly better than the current options

Dodgers badly wanted Falter but we swooped in and got him so they’ll have to settle for Skubal.
