I'm not getting too upset with this deal because it's just Maybin but I really don't get it.
I truly don't get this one. Coppy won't last 3 yrs as our GM seems to be too much of an analytics guy. Maybin isn't a difference maker but he was genuinely thrilled to wear the tomahawk. We need more like him in that respect. He was the first in a long while that we brought in by trade you could say that about, imo. I hate his time here was so short. 95% of the league doesn't care what's on the jersey as long as the check clears.

That could be, but this was only his third season with more than 500 PAs. I think he's a decent player, but I don't know if he's a full-time CF. I enjoyed watching him play and he seems like an all-around good guy, but I wonder if he's a full-time player at this juncture in his career.
I'm not sure how trading for Speier and Krol is an analytics thing, but the rest of your point is exactly how team's lose baseball games. It's sad to see Maybin go when he was so happy to be here, but you don't make roster decisions based on the player's desire to be a member of that team. I'd much rather have a CF who just plays for the check if it means he's a better player.
Anthony Fenech of the Detroit Free press reporting that the Braves sent $2.5m with Maybin and not just $1.5m. So, Bowman's number included the $1m buyout for 2017.

Cam was Grand Marshal of the Holiday Parade in Asheville, NC yesterday BTW (his hometown).
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?
