I didn’t ask what we ask for I ask what you heard Atlanta offered
Nothing I read during that time mentioned an offer made to us. The Rangers asking price is all that came out after the deadline. As far as I know, JD's ask was so high that clubs simply gave up on acquiring Lynn. Similar to Boras' reaction after JD's ridiculous offer for Rendon.

If Atlanta had really wanted Lynn they would have made a legitimate counter offer instead of pair of low low-level prospects and the 2 teams would have worked out a deal. Would you have taken the really low-ball offer? A quality starter with this season and next year under contract at below market numbers is worth more than you seem to want in return

If he is a FA after next year we may not get anything for him. Just thinking it may be better to try and keep him after 2021 if we don't trade him in the off season. Hate to see him walk.
