From All-Star closer to fans considering him as a non-tender candidate. Shane Greene had himself quite a year. After starting the season with the Tigers and earning his way to the all-star game, Greene was traded to the Braves at the deadline (literally, it was less than an hour before the buzzer). Many people, myself included, didn’t love to see the Braves part with Joey Wentz. Wentz was one of the best LHP prospects in the system, but getting Greene for the rest of the season plus 2020 was worth it.
In his first 3 innings with the Braves, Greene gave up 5 ER, the same number he gave up in 38 innings for Detroit.
