Braves beat writers are astoundingly worthless when it comes to trades/signings.

Or maybe we'll never know. @jcrasnick says Miller is going to the Orioles.

Wow. How did we not beat that?
Anyone have a Braves comp to Eduardo Rodriguez?
Rodriquez is the #3 rated prospect in the O's system. Are you going to give that up for a rental?
Seems like an overpay to me. Sox are cleaning up.

I'm a 180 away from you. I think the Cards got totally hosed in this deal. Red Sox have replaced Gomes with a better player (who is having an off-year) and got a solid arm in Kelly. I don't trust Lackey at all anymore.

Agree that the dreaded Red Sox, whom I hate with a passion, are playing the deadline game very well today. Getting a nice mix of established players and projectable guys.

John Henry having a good day. I think the Boston-Oakland trade could work well for both. Billy Beane obviously going for it.
Whether you want to blame Wren, ownership, whatever, it's shameful the Braves have not improved their roster today.

Agreed.

1 exec who talked to #Rays believes Price deal involves 3 teams. BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT
I keep up with prospects. He's having a crap year.

If true, with what I know of the internal workings with the Braves, this could potentially be good news for us...as in order for us to acquire Price we need to move salary with a third team involved.
And have you seen his K/BB ratios?
I'm not sure where you guys are coming from. Craig is donzo. They did get a decent prospect for Miller tho.

It seems like the Braves could have done something like that with the Rays and another team. Find a team that needs pitching, but doesn't have enough talent to get Price on its own, and send them Santana for a couple of prospects. Braves send Bethancourt and a pitching prospect (Hursh maybe?), along with the prospects from the team that got Santana, to the Rays for Price. That would have both bolstered what we could offer and cleared enough payroll to obtain Price.
Braves are not getting Price, in fact, it sounds like they're not getting anybody.
