For 4.5 million I’d take Wade Miley. Low risk, high reward, and it adds depth. Sure I’d rather Touki or Soroka but, IMO, you almost have to count on somebody amongst our rotation options getting injured.

But moreso, the signing reminds me that there are still a lot of players out there that can be had at a decent price that can, at the very least, incrementally improve the team.

OK when someone gets injured, here are the arms that the Braves have.....Folty, Gausman, Newcomb, Teheran, Soroka, Toussaint, Fried, Wilson, Wright then maybe Allard, Wiegel, and Anderson.

Bringing in a arm that isnt a clear upgrade makes absolutely no sense, and the Braves are a mid spending team. 4.5 million is a lot for them, so there is no chance they should give it to an average pitcher that doesnt move the needle at all. How many more games will the Braves win if Miley starts 10 games than they would if everyone else named above start them instead?
