Grant Dayton was seen by some as a potentially savvy under the radar move when the Braves claimed him off of waivers from the Dodgers back in November 2017. While he had some injury red flags from his time in LA involving his neck, the move didn’t cost the Braves anything and his 2016 season had a lot of encouraging peripherals. Two seasons and 12 innings pitched later, Dayton has been more of an afterthought than anything else.
What went right in 2019?
Well the good news here is that Dayton actually pitched for the Braves which was a marked improvement over his 2018 season.
