For what it’s worth, the Dallas Keuchel project in 2019 was a complete success. The Atlanta Braves needed a seasoned starter for its rotation, and if you take into account the entire body of work, that’s exactly what Keuchel provided.
In March — right on the heels of the Philadelphia Phillies signing of outfielder Bryce Harper — our Jake Mastroianni wrote a couple of pieces explaining why and how the Braves could obtain Keuchel.
At that time, and given all of the unknowns regarding the upcoming 2019 season, I would speculate that most Braves fans were in favor of the organization pursuing Keuchel (including me).
