[ESPN] Walker Buehler, Red Sox agree to 1-year, $21M deal

Has anyone made sure AA isn’t just asleep? Maybe he forgot to set his alarm when he went to bed at the beginning of October.
This is a very good contract. Easily something we could have done, even for a bit more money.
I would’ve done that.
I’m not loving the inactive offseason. At this point a Morton resigning would be welcome news.
Haha we’re really not doing anything this off season. I wonder which contender has it worse in this regard, us or orioles fans?
Nick Pivetta YOU are an Atlanta Brave
I believe AA is a good GM. I believe we’re still a very strong team that will compete for the division even without a major off-season move. I am very frustrated with our lack of moves in this off-season and wish we would have given out some of the deals other teams have given out.
Those three statements are not mutually exclusive
We’re gonna see a lot of AAA call-ups this season. Better hope the bats decide to show up, or the post-season is gonna be very hard to reach
Last year in 16 games Buehler had a 5.38 ERA and 5.54 FIP then had a good post season. I don’t think it’s unbelievable to think that AA didn’t feel the hot post season negated the atrocious regular season
When can we start questioning this off season? Want to make sure we don’t make the pompous in here mad. We will stand by for direction.
Feels like AA is generally overly cautious and calculated (not a bad thing), but almost to a fault. I think AA rules and is one of the best GMs in baseball so I’m sure he’ll figure something out this offseason for the rotation
I understand that Buehler hasn’t been good these past season, but if anyone has proven they can take a chance on a player—it’s the Braves. I trust in AA, and I also think Buehler on a one year deal is worth taking.
Take it we are going to ride our young arms. Hopefully it doesnt bite us in the ass. Another solid bat would ease the stress of that but just gotta roll with the punches
I know they don’t have the bottomless resources the Dodgers and other big teams have, and most big contracts don’t work out, but it sure would be nice if they took a chance in the free agent market for a change. There isn’t much in the way of prospects to trade for the missing pieces anymore.
I feel like BJ Upton broke the team’s philosophy regarding free agents, but that’s just me being cynical.
