I remember those trade threads and was pissed when Judge came up and did so well.
So the consensus is we'd trade Albies for Judge, but not Acuna?
His hit tool should not be rated that high with the amount of strikes he has. The reason you see his game power at 55 is due to the belief that he would struggle to hit a ton of homeruns due to the strikeouts. So far that hasn't manifested but it does in the majority of those types of players.
One of the rumors bandied about was Peraza for Judge (or some combination of Judge/Sanchez/Severino).

Why would Atlanta want Gary Sanchez? They already have their catcher of the future in Christian Betancourt. Makes no sense.Dan Perry3 years ago
As a Braves fan, we are rebuilding and if Hart traded away our #1 prospect for a C prospect with ” maturity and defensive” issues when we have Bethancourt, a superb defensive catcher, I’d stop supporting them…especially given the problems we’ve had at 2B these past few YEARS.coreybishop3 years ago
No way in the world do I support any trade involving Jose
Peraza as a Braves fan. It would make no sense to deal him with the amount of
work that has been done so far. If you want Aaron Judge or Severino, make a package
with another player we have, not our top prospect who will hit leadoff for
years to come for the Atlanta Braves.

He's had enough at bats for his K% to stabilize. He's unlikely to improve better than 25 or 26 percent. And at those sort of K rates, it's nearly impossible to maintain a high average.
He's a very good player, but he likely won't be much different than Stanton over his career, and that isn't a knock Judge.
