I like this bit of business by Coppy. SRod easily replaceable for us. Lots of options as utility guys already in the system. Gets his money off the books for next year. Bowman just tweeted that we save about $7.5 mil from this move.
Chances are high that Joe becomes nothing. But was solid in 2016, has great k/BB ratio this year, decent obp; I wouldn't write him off completely just yet.
Nothing to dislike about this deal.
good
no need for him on this team

Good move by the Braves. Paying a 33 year old utility player with a bum shoulder 5.7 million next year would be a bad move. I'm surprise the Pirates took his whole salary back.

#Braves bringing up Jace Peterson to take Rodriguez spot on the roster.
I actually saw Connor Joe back in May. Wasn't paying the best attention as I'd consumed two 32 oz beers in the first inning (it was 7-5 after 1, so it took a while, lol), but I remember being impressed with him. Ripped a double in the game.

Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

This trade was fated the moment Phillips agreed to play third. The play he made last night further secured that scenario. Now, the Braves have to look inward very hard and decided what they do in Camargo vs. Swanson. Camargo's sample size is growing rapidly.
