Moan4Yoan Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) Braves released LHP Luiz Gohara. Gohara was a top-50 prospect just a couple years ago, but he missed a large chunk of last season with shoulder issues and has yet to pitch this year. It's telling that he passed through waivers unclaimed, but the lefty just turned 23 so he will get another opportunity somewhere. I saw some people here had interest in claiming Gohara but with the fact that no team claimed him, I’m assuming his shoulder is shot?

Not enough time has passed - pretty sure waiver period is 48 hours at least and it hasn't been that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 That being said, he's had shoulder issues, so he very well may be toast. But Sox should sign him - there is virtually no risk is doing so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I saw something from Braves fans that he is likely never to pitch again and he's having really bad personal issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I see the report on MLBTR says he cleared waivers, so perhaps the 48 hour period was one of the changes this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That hasn't stopped the Sox before. Delmonico is a recent example of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t looked that hard, but it seems like the “really bad personal issues” have to do with his parents’ health (to include his father’s death) and not with being some sort of psycho. Just FWIW. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could make sense as to why 29 teams didn't have any interest in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWINFan Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 It has reached the point for me that I really don't like the concept of "nothing to lose.'" Nothing to lose sounds weak because there isn't much on the roster. There is nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godley had success at the big league level and isn‘t even arb eligible yet though. Wouldn‘t mind taking a chance on him to maybe become a swingman/emergency SP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sign him to a minor league deal so he's not on the 40-man and see if maybe you have a lefty reliever at Charlotte next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
