2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

[bravesfanMatt]

If pirates get archer the Braves are done. Season over man. You can forget about it.



Am I doing it right.

Are we sure Gausman is good?

2 thoughts. He could be more hurt than lead to believe. Or they don’t want to announce prospects until notified. Could also be discussing a few different guys and agreed to one from a group but need to run Medicals on all of them and need more time before agreeing to specific.

Rays had no choice other than dealing him today or run the risk of getting nothing for him. If they waited past the deadline, someone would have claimed him on waivers to block any deal.

stark suggest the rays traded ramos for so little because they needed to create space for the players they're getting in the archer deal.

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Hopefully we switched gears to Stroman about an hour ago.

We are talking about a franchise that took twenty something years to rebuild enough to make a wild card game.

At least they won their WC game at home.

Pretty good yeah. 2016 he was a 4 WAR pitcher, last year 2 WAR, and this year is tracking for 3-4... all of that in the AL East. Gotta think he has a chance to improve in the NL east

Space for their 40 man or 25 man roster?

weird that the Pirates renaissance only began six years ago. Seems like it has been longer. Did not last too long, did it?

I suppose the Pirates could turn around and move Archer this winter if they don't get anywhere and get back a healthy return. But he fits as well for Pirates as he does for Braves in payroll.

Pretty good attempt.

Getting Gausman and Schoop would be nice.

I'm thinking its definitely going to be Gausman at this point, which I'm becoming fine with. He definitely helps as long as we don't give up too much

[Tapate50]

braves determined to add a starter, have been working hard on many fronts, including Kevin Gausman. would be a good get for them. rockies and brewers are among others involved.

It feels like the #Rays needed to clear a roster spot to make room for players they're getting back for Chris Archer. Otherwise, they'd have no motivation to make this type of deal.

[Southcack77]

the deal for Gausman had better be a good bit cheaper than Archer, IMO. If that's what ends up happening.

i think he'll improve a lot in a move to the NL and with our defense.

Kintzer to Cubs

Oakland gets Fiers.

You forgot ship Acuna and Albies out for prospects, and bulldoze Suntrust Park and the Battery.
