Brent Suter

But maybe a bit out of their price point at $7 million per year for a guy who is probably not going to be your highest leverage reliever.

Next guy on this list, Brent Suter, a former Angel, former Atlanta Brave, former Milwaukee Brewer.

I also spent some time in Colorado and Cincinnati.

He is heading into his age 37 season after 11 big league seasons was traded to Atlanta at the deadline by the angels.

And of course he was a whole lot better with the, with the Atlanta Braves that he was with those Los Angeles angels of Anaheim.

He has practiced on a one year, $4.9 million deal down the stretch with Atlanta, 13 games for them, 27 and two thirds innings did have a couple of spot starts in, Late on in the season, the Atlanta Braves were dealing with a lot of injuries in the rotation, which is what we saw in the postseason when they were going to Ray Kerr for some spot starts in some massive, massive playoff games in which he delivered.

Brent Suter also excellent for them down the stretch, a 1-6-3 ERA in those 13 games.

The strikeout rate has not been super high in his career.

I imagine he's going to be offered guaranteed money by somebody after what he did this year.

Do they try to bring him back as a contingency option here? Brent Suter.

I feel like they always want that ground ball guy in the bullpen.

Aaron Bummer didn't work out.

Danny Young was not ready after Tommy John.

They DFA'd him, they passed him through waivers, he stayed in Gwinnett, and then they added him back to the 40-man roster when the season ended.

So, do they try to bring back Brent Suter and possibly have two of those guys in the pen? Do they just stick with Danny Young? Lane Thomas.

I've long thought Lane Thomas made a lot of sense as a Braves outfielder.

I just saw the headline there.

Also, something else, and we are going to be joined by Brent Suter here soon on the show, and I'm very excited for that.

And we'll get to him when Riley tells us that he is ready.

But...

Like, as you're going out, like, if you're going out to watch the games and going out to watch the games with everyone, make sure that you are doing the right thing and, you know, get that tab up there.

Gotcha.

All right, so let's get to Brent Suter here as he actually probably can answer a little bit of the question here as Brent...

Well, first, actually...

The Braves are one of the two or three oldest teams in baseball by that metric.

Now, that would come down heading into next year if you were to wave goodbye to guys like Rysel Iglesias, Martin Perez, Brent Suter is very old, who was on this team.

Kyle Farmer's 36.

There's a little bit of funny money on that.

That was essentially my deciding factor.

I could have voted for Brent Suter.

I thought about voting for Brent Suter, who was among the leaders in chances.

Despite being a relief pitcher, I didn't vote for Brent Suter.

I had him third.

How did you go on this one?

That's just reality.

Brent Suter, 4.9. Martin Perez, 14.4. Dom, 3.9. Lane Thomas, 8.5.

So those are the projected AAVs for some of the free agents that exist on or were on the Atlanta Braves roster.

We'll take a break.
