Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

Wouldn't Maybin at least brought back something better last season around the trade deadline for a team that was looking to fill a need at an outfield position, or depth, or platoon or something? No, that's right we were trying to win. Nevermind

Speier fills the obligatory Tommy Jon spot.

Now how could anyone possibly think the Braves are tanking next season? Just look at those All-Stars the Braves just got for that scrub Maybin!
Championship caliber pitchers I say!
pretty Meh trade.....hate to lose Maybin, but the addition of Bourn made it necessary.

I'm not acting like Maybin was this great player by any means but wtf is the point of this deal? Krol could be a good reliever but isn't keeping Maybin slightly better?
Pointless deal. Everyone is touring this as a salary dump, but why on earth do we need to dump salary for this season?
At least we got some pitching though. Needed some of that.
We'll have alot of money to use next year when the FA market is really bad, cant wait.

Seems like a straight cash dump, would've rather kept Maybin.
The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

Going back where he was drafted.
Better not be sending much cash if the only return we got was 2 fringe bullpen prospects. I didn't figure Maybin had a ton of value, but he was a good clubhouse guy who wanted to be here and was somewhat valuable last year.
Seems we're clearing a lot of cash. You have to ask yourself why?
