Shelby to AZ for E. Inciarte, A. Blair, and Dansby Swanson

[chop2chip]

It was a helluva trade. I'm just glad they seem to be moving on from the 2017 narrative.

I feel like this supports the 2017 narrative. All three of those guys should contribute to that team.

Every trade the Braves ever make after this is going to be a major disappointment.

[BedellBrave]

Yeah, we have the #1 system in baseball right now, most of our top talent will still be in the system this time next year, and we'll add Maitan, other international signings, the #3 pick, two other top-40ish picks....It's going to be bonkers.

What position(s) does Maitan play?

[yeezus]

I woke up thinking we traded Shelby for Javier Baez, and that's it.

I'll go to bed knowing we got this haul instead. what a time to be alive.

This is staggering. Our farm was teetering on the brink of disaster 18 months ago. Insane!

SS. Scouts say he could be a 3B.

[Horsehide Harry]

Now go sign Latos

[chop2chip]

I hope the Braves don't make the same mistake with Albies/Swanson that they did with Peraza and they leave them at SS.

I think they will all be up by then at some point. But especially in Swansons case he will be a rookie. I just see 2019-2020 being the time frame that the team is really looking to go for it.

[Hudson2]

Still in shock. Coppy played his hand perfectly. Riley, Swanson, and Albies, and Freeman will make one hell of an infield. I could see them trading for Lucroy next offseason.

[bravesfanMatt]

Forget we have a top 3 pick and will be big spenders in the international market.

Farm system is going to be SICK.

we will have 3 picks in our system by the time the 50th pick comes around..

I still think 2017 is the year they expect to compete with 2018 being the year they are winning the division year in and year out. All of these guys will be flowing in each year starting in 2017.

[The Chosen One]

Finally, Fredi will have all the right pieces to win a championship. Good work Coppy.

[Hudson2]

So we just saved another 5 million dollars right? That should give us around 20. I'd bring in Fister or Latos on a 1 year deal to see if they can build some value.

[Orphan Black]

Swanson and Blair were the DBack's #1 and #2 prospects weren't they?

[rico43]

I had forgotten the Braves acquired Speier as part of the Maybin trade. Makes this even more impressive. Got to figure Bethancourt on the move within the day.

[bravesnumberone]

We even brought Carpenter back to let him get it right this time.
