Parents:
As per our source, the names and other identifying information of his parents are not yet public.
Contract:
Odorizzi is owed $8 million in salary this season, and his contract includes a $3.25 million buyout for a $6.5 million player option/2022.
He was especially expendable with three other lefties — A.J. Minter, Tyler Matzek and Dylan Lee — proving more effective out of the bullpen. Also, former Padres closer Kirby Yates appears close to returning to the big leagues with the Braves after recovering from Tommy John surgery.
The AL West-leading Astros acquired the pitcher who was on the mound for the decisive game of the Braves’ World Series victory over Houston last season.
FanGraphs:
Max Fried and a pair of breakout campaigns by Kyle Wright and Spencer Strider, the Braves have put together one of the NL’s better rotations, ranking third in innings (564) and FIP (3.65), and fourth in WAR (9.9), though they’re just eighth in ERA (3.86) and 10th in BABIP (.297).
With Strider solidifying the fifth spot in the rotation in impressive fashion after moving from the bullpen in late May, Ian Anderson has been the shakiest of the bunch, pitching to a 4.99 ERA and 4.23 FIP, the highest among the regulars.
