2019 Trade Deadline Thread:

Adam: If the Braves get serious in their pursuit of relief help, which prospect between Christian Pache and Drew Waters are they more likely to part with?

Kiley McDaniel: Given how they’ve approached things so far, I don’t think they trade a top 100-200 level guy until they think they are knocking on the door and are 1-2 players away from being 1st or 2nd best in the NL

1:09
Kiley McDaniel: I just checked and our projected standings have them 2nd in the NL, but 11 games behind the Dodgers

Kiley McDaniel: so I think next season may be the year ATL feels like moving the big chips in, after 2 years of evaluating the system and letting the best assets turn into what they’re going to be



I'd be more than a little upset if the Braves trade Waters or Pache for a BP arm...

What is the biggest trade chip the Dodgers have cashed in the last ~5 years?

Guessing it was Machado trade last year. Of course, they've also been really lucky hitting on almost every prospect and FA signing as well.

There is about zero chance IMO that Pache/Waters are traded.

Guessing it was Machado trade last year. Of course, they've also been really lucky hitting on almost every prospect and FA signing as well.

They got Machado for a poo-poo platter of 5 prospects:

Diaz = FV 50
Kremer = FV 45
Pop = FV 40
Bannon = FV 35+
Valera = FV NA

This is a good idea for the kind of quantity over quality trade the Braves are likely to pursue.

They should be able to upgrade the BP with 1-2 arms at the cost of a few names nobody really cares about.
