Audacy.com MLB insider Jon Heyman joined Dukes & Bell and talked about if the Braves are the favorite to land veteran free agent reliever Shane Greene, and why has he gone this long without being signed?
Heyman thinks the Braves could still be favorites to land Greene.
“To me the Braves have made sense all along, I’m not sure why they didn’t go for him and why they haven’t signed him or why anyone hasn’t signed him.” Heyman said “Obviously something funky is going on behind the scenes cause he was pretty good last year.”
“There are other really good relievers who are still out there, let’s say Jeremy Jeffress, who’s got other issues. Someone is going to sign him and get a pretty good reliever, the Braves do a good job, they don’t always make the right call. I think they were one of many teams that kind of passed on Melancon, I saw some people say they did try for Melancon, I don’t think they tried very hard.”
