All of this!
We couldn't acquire a box of crackerjacks for Johnson if we tried.... Just put him on waivers or something and hope some team is dumb enough to get him off our hands.

At who's expense on the 40 man this offseason?
They will just net us lottery picks. While nice it's really not that big of a deal whether we acquire them or not.

Dodgers and Yankees in on Darvish but there apparently is a third team interested that nobody was expecting. Not sure who it would be
No, but if you can get several it increases the odds that you end up with one hitting.
So the reason I haven't hit the lottery yet is bc I don't have enough tickets? I'm going all-in
I understand that. But if nothing is there then nothing is there. I'd most certainly rather Coppy work on deals that could help us next year and beyond instead of figuring out which prospect we might get for Phillips who would fit in at the end of our top 30.
Correct. Eventually the odds will be in your favor.
In all honesty you have to figure Coppy's focused on both, and moving Johnson/Dat Dude/Markakis probably isn't as pressing a priority since he's still got all of August to see if he can find a deal to move any of them - it's not like any of them are likely to be claimed on waivers. FWIW - the money that the Reds paid for Phillips stays with the Braves whether he's dealt or not - a claiming team would have to pick him up at his contract salary level and the Braves would just pay the bonus if he were traded.
Can't say I'm completely sure I want Dat Dude or Markakis dealt anyway - have to wonder if the brass could contain themselves if there were openings on the big team for Acuna and Albies.

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?
Really hate to sound like the blackjack dealer, but there's no way we're the third team in on him.

Yeah that wouldn't make any sense at all.
Royals get Melky??? Really wish we could've eaten a chunk of Markakis' money!!!

My guess is the Rockies. They are on Lucroy. So could see a bigger package.
Less than 24 hours away to sell off whatever garbage you can for some scratch off tickets. Coppy is enjoying his time at the Hall of Fame.
Yeah I'm sure he's just completely ignoring everything having to do with trades.
#Yankees #Athletics on Gray familiar negotiation: 2 sides that feel like made big concessions already, don't want to budge further (cont)
Now we'll see if a ticking clock to a deadline forces more concessions or not.
Swoop in time
I doubt it honestly, most people believe it's NYY or he stays til the winter.
Profar could be on the move. He's out of lineup and Texas claimed a AAA INF from Seattle and assigned him to Round Rock.
I hope it's to the Braves.
Profar is batting .300 with a .319 BABIP and 8.4% K% in 298 PA for AAA Round Rock.
