HOU, offer 2 yrs, plus option.. MIL offer 3 yrs, ATL a finalist, no detail on offer@ScoutsHonorPod @929TheGame @MikeConti929 @JohnFricke
If accurate, it's no surprise these teams would be gunning for Keuchel, since all three of them made the playoffs last year but failed to reach the World Series. Each team could use a strong arm in their rotation to better their shot at capturing a pennant in 2019.
The most likely scenario of these three would be Atlanta, since they are lacking the necessary arms to fill out their championship-level rotation with experience
Nick Markakis has agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal with the Atlanta Braves, league source tells ESPN.

Adding Keuchel to this rotation would make the Braves the clear-cut favorite in the NL East and a legitimate threat in October.
