    Now they are reporting that Kemp will likely be traded or released and won't be in an LA uniform again.

    Reports say Kemp likely to be released as well - wonder if he winds up in LF for the Giants?
    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?

    We with stood the CoppyGate pain; this one we'll recover from as soon as the games start. As I said elsewhere, I forsee the haul as being akin to Folty, Toussaint, Pache, Cumberland and Camargo.

    It would hurt but the farm is deep enough to absurb such a deal.
    It absolutely can be done. Not even close. Keeping Riley, Wentz and Soroka as well. Beyond that, I applaud making the deal, period.

    Initial reaction I love the trade. Kemp is addition by subtraction and the players we got are solid depth. Positions the team well to go after a big FA next year. I know they like Riley but maybe he will come in at LF and we get Machado for 3B.

    I don't think that would do that but even if it did you have to figure out what to do with 3B/Util.

    bowman- Anthopoulos says McCarthy satisfies the desire to add a veteran starter and Culberson‘s presence lessens the need to add a bench player.

    Remaining possible offseason targets are a reliever and third baseman.

    You'd have to throw in at least one or two of Soroka, Wright, Newcomb, Allard for Yelich.

    I like it, if for nothing else, it helps turn the page from the misery this offseason has been.

    If Kazmir or McCarthy are decently healthy and pan out, then they'd also be potential trade pieces.

    Highly doubtful anyone can fill the Mike Adams role.

    That was my line of thought when I suggested, a week or so ago, that the Braves target him to help LAD under the LT line. I really doubt he can hold up in a rotation anymore, but there's at least a chance he can bounce back (maybe even with a couple extra MPH) in a bullpen role.

    Twitter- Atlanta is now responsible for just $38,226,000 in 2019, opening the possibility of being a major player in the hyped 2018 free agent class.

    Based off their 2017 payroll alone (barring any increase), that leaves Anthopoulos & Co. roughly $84 million to play with next offseason.

    Someone on this board suggested we trade Kemp for Gonzalez and Kazmir.

    Interesting take on why Gonzalez was DFA's so quickly.

    Adrian Gonzalez waived his no-trade clause when #Braves agreed to DFA him, that way he can look for another opportunity with a team that can use him, while it's still early in offseason

    This kind of deal absolutely had to be done to make us players next year. Even if it’s not super probable, the idea of adding a Machado and Yelich (via trade obviously), becomes more real.
