    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?

    Not even close.

    If the Braves were to trade Teheran or Ender to the Astros (they also need a CFer) the return has to include Bregman.

    Mallex would require significantly less, obviously, but I wouldn't sell him short. He is a starting caliber CFer who should post 2-3 WAR per year and is controlled for 6 years (or only 5 years now?).

    The inclusion of Mallex doesn't make that close.

    I would want more, but I would be ok with a return centering on Tucker and Paulino.

    The trading Teheran scenarios are pipe dreams. Perhaps on all sides. I'm still firmly into the don't trade him camp unless the offer is huge. That offer is not enough.

    Lol is funny how they post in the news that for sure Manny Machado will sign with Atlanta.

    And I doubt the Astros are interested in trading a pitcher who is ready to step into the MLB rotation for a SP. Why would they do that rather than just plugging their young guy into the rotation?

    The Astros area of surplus is Bregman and Gurriel at 3B. One is penciled in for LF, but with the glut of corner bats on the FA market, they could get a very good pitcher or CFer for Bregman and sign a hitter for LF. I fully expect Bregman to be traded this offseason in a blockbuster. I bet it will be, by far, the biggest trade of the offseason. Like "holy ****, the Astros just got Sale" big.

    I can pretty much guarantee Bregman isn't going anywhere. That would be dumb on their part.

    Is this actually based on something other than "pull a trade proposal out of my back hole" and try generate traffic to the blog?

    I like the thought (but not the proposed trade) and I also think Bregman could be had but it would likely take Teheran AND Inciarte. After all, the Astros didn't sign Gurriel to play him at 1B.

    I think Gurriel is their long term 3B and Bregman is moved.

    I'm thinking something along the lines of Teheran, Inciarte and Viz to Houston for Bregman, Tucker, Fisher and RHP Albert Abreu

    Play Mallex in CF. In a couple of years you could have:

    2B Albies
    SS Swanson
    3B Bregman
    1B Freeman
    LF Fisher/Riley
    RF Tucker/Peterson
    C ???
    CF Mallex/Acuna

    But that would mean the show in 2017 isn't as sparkly.

    For Tehran and Inciarte I'd have to get Bregman, Paulino, and Tucker back. I know that's a haul but so is trading 2 of our best players that aren't FA for a long time.

    You have to be joking... that is an absurdly light package for two cheap starters. One a number 2 SP and one possible starting CFer for tons of years under control. It's a terrible package.

    It's really not. Both could be top 10 prospects before long. It's not quite there, but it's not crazy.

    Did you read the link? https://whensidslidcronies.wordpress...uchable-julio/

    There is the link.
    Machado will cost the braves minimum 30 millions a year in 2019. How are you planning to extend Swanson,Freeman and the best players of the braves?

    No, it's nowhere near sufficient. Bergman would need to be part of an Astros deal, and pick the top two prospects on the cusp of any other team you care to name. If that's too rich, oh well. I happily keep Teheran and Inciarte.

    They're our two most valuable assets. They really shouldn't go anywhere.
