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?

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.

Which players that can he had for cheap will help this team?
C-? No
1B-? No
2B-? No
3B-? No
LF-? No
CF-? No
RF-? NO
Bench-? Camargo, Culberson, Flocan, Duvall? OK maybe Duvall
SP-? NO
RP-? NO
So where exactly is a cheap option going to help this team?
This Braves team isnt like 98% of other teams. It got good too early. There are still so many prospects that are ready to try and contribute at multiple positions, and younger guys at other positions, that we dont need marginal upgrades to help the team. This isnt the Reds where adding Tanner Roark could majorly help.
Now I will call myself an a-hole if the team offloads Teheran to someone, trades Anderson/Riley/Pitcher for Realmuto, and trade three other prospects for Kluber.....Then we might need a little depth like Miley or Gio Gonzalez, but until all that happens, we dont need these players.
