Padres are aggressively shopping Yangervis Solarte. I'd like to see the Braves go after someone like that. He's better than Adonis and under control for three more seasons.
Gialito will go bye bye too. It would completely empty their farm system. No way they could keep that whole team in tact for the long term. Bryce is gonna get paid big time.
I hope the Nats trade for both. They would probably have a run like the Phillies had and we would peak as they are on the decline due to lack of cheap players to replenish the roster.

PLEASE NATS. PLEASE SCREW YOURSELF LONGTERM AS WELL.
They are going to do all that and neglect the BP again. Please trade for both!! Plus they have Dusty Baker, so they are not winning anything!! lol..
I think Robles gets you most of the way to McCutchen on his own.
Giolito doesn't bring you Sale on his own, but he's also getting you a lot of the way there.
I'm not saying Robles and Giolito by themselves gets you those 2, just that they could both easily be the headliner in those deals. I don't think you'd have to give up Turner on top of it, though you would definitely have to include some more talent.
Nats don't have the system for it if Turner is off the table. Robles + for McCutchen, and then what's left for Sale?
Man, if Coppy ultimately just drives up the price for the Nats, he's my new hero.

So the Nats would be stupid to trade for Sale and Cutch when they are a clear contender because it would ruin their future, but the Braves would be smart to ruin their future to acquire Sale to pitch for a non-contender?
