    Brandon Phillips would be the only Reds player in the deal.

    I wouldn't expect a huge return in this deal for the Reds. More about clearing a logjam.

    I'd give up a better prospect if we could get the 32 pick back.

    According to Cincinnati beat writer, it's not involved, sadly.

    Sucks about Rodriguez. Terrible luck.

    As for Phillips, I'd just as soon put Albies at 2nd after May, and check out a Garcia/Ruiz platoon at 3rd.

    If it wasn't for this new revelation on Rodriguez's injury, we're likely not talking about this likely deal.

    Big thing for me was the money. Looks like the Reds will pay the majority of the $14M he's owed. That makes this a better deal from the Braves perspective.

    IF this trade goes down, you will laugh at what the Braves are giving up.

    I'm not sure if that's good or bad.

    Possible mid-season trade piece? Bring Albies up in July. Send BP to a contender, which perhaps is what the Braves have promised him for him to agree to this trade.

    @BillShanks: If ATL-CIN deal goes thru, ATL will give up practically nothing for Phillips and will not pay much of his 2017 salary. Will be a great deal.

    Phillips is better than Jace and it's clear they don't want to rush Albies.

    Wonder what Cinncy did to convince Phillips to waive his no-trade when he blocked a trade to us last time.

    The only thing that bugs me about this is, once again the Braves played fast and loose with the facts about an injury. It was reported with full confidence that Rodriguez was not injured in the crash. You know good and well that they knew he was hurt, but needed to confirm the specifics.

    Think about the Carolina bus crash. None of those injuries, including a couple that proved to be career-enders, were ever reported.

    Apparently the Braves didn't find out the seriousness of Rodriquez's injury until Friday.
