Whether or not we trade Markakis or Kemp, it is starting to look like Acuna will be one of our corner outfielders in 2018. Hopefully not from opening day for service time reasons, but for most of the season.

I just don't see these pieces being all that desirable. Braves basically got Adams for free a few months ago. Not sure we're going to just flip him for something more useful in a matter of months. If we do, the Yankees would be a great fit for him. A lot of these teams who have needs and are in the race right now aren't really buyers. The Twins are going to give up anything for anyone. Neither will the Royals. The Rockies are saturated with catchers like Suzuki. Jamie Garcia in Coors would be fun to watch though.
I wouldn't move RA Dickey.
The dude is just fine as a 5th starter, eats innings and has been pretty solid of late. I like having him in that 2018 rotation at least to start the season.

So are we really going to have something to get excited about today or was it Acuna being promoted to AAA?
Quintana traded to Cubs

I'm so glad Quintana went to the Cubs!!!!!
Q to Cubs is great news. Takes one possible bad trade for the Braves off the table.
Good get for the Sox... Eloy is a beast
Really wish we could've found a way to get Eloy at some point. Love him.
This also takes one team looking for controllable pitching out of the race and moves Teheran up one spot on the list of guys available.
Thank god we won't trade a bounty for Quintana, and the White Sox continue to add to an impressive farm system.
The Chapman trade last year and Quintana trade this year has really thinned the Cubs farm system. Great trade for Sox. Cubs have to win now because they closing their window with these trades.
