I see where Michael Soroka appears to be turning a corner for Team Canada. Do you think it would be advisable to offer Aaron Bummer to the Dbacks for Michael? They need relievers more than starters and would gladly pick up Bummer's $9.5m if mostly offset by dropping Soroka's salary. I suppose Dodd, J.Suarez, and Harris could compete to fill Bummer's roster slot in the pen.
By June 15 (the old trading deadline in my day) Soroka may be his old self again. Which either means great, hurting, or one then the other. I heard his fastball was up past 97 in the WBC, meaningful if their radar guns are in U.S. MPH currency.

Soroka was a FA and they traditionally can't get traded until June 1st

Those guys at Fangraphs do a Great Job.
They know everybody in the Braves system. Angel Carmona would be more well know but injuries limited him to 20 games in the DSL.
Full sized shortstop, 6' 2" 195 lbs. Power hitter. Slugged over .800. $400,000 bonus.
As my late father used to say, "Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're the mosquito."
The Braves were the mosquito today!
