    I think we pick up Castillo and Sale... then let's just sign Turner. Playoff team no doubt

    Hope he does... but we know Sale is a superstar.

    You fall off your rocker? The Braves aren't allowed to trade prospects away.

    I disagree strongly with your thoughts on Teheran.

    I think Turner is a west coast guy and we'll have a hard time signing him. I think Frazier is our guy, for some of these Sale packages I've seen suggested he'd be a nice addition.

    I'd offer them Albies, Newcomb, Mallex, Sims, & Ruiz for Sale and Frazier and tell the White Sox take it or leave it.

    To me that'd be fair. We get our ace and a 3b. They get two prime positional prospects and a potential top of the rotation starter in Newcomb, a promising young pitcher that has upside as either a starter or reliever in Sims, and a quality prospect in Ruiz along with salary relief.

    A lot had to go wrong for the DBacks to suck as badly as they did. They came up snake eyes on everything but Segura (which I see the new front office has fixed by dealing Segura).

    The only way we're still talking is if Swanson is already off the table. They already have a good young shortstop in Anderson. This is clearly about Albies, a CF and pitching.

    I still hope most of the rumors now are coming from the Sox saying the Braves are making a strong offer to drive the price up. There's just no pressing need to give up a huge package of prospects to get Sale now.

He surely did in AAA. Rod/Jace is likely a big upgrade over what Albies can do his first year. That's just probabilities.
    Whoa there, guy. Just interested in your side of things.

    The Braves certainly have no reason to absolutely make a deal. I'm just wondering if Coppy said here is offer A, B and C. You can take either of these.

    Sox probably think its light and are trying to leak stuff for another team to step up.

    Coppy seems to deal quietly so it would make sense that this is like you said an effort from the Sox to drive the price up.

    They were twelve games below 500. If everything had gone as expected they would not have made the playoffs.

    Sorry but that package doesn't get your Sale AND Frazier.

    And see you and me Gov can have disagreements and not challenge each other to cage matches. It's a beautiful thing. I completely understand you point of view. I wouldn't be torn up if it were Folty instead.

    As much as Sale is a big upgrade over Teheran I can't really see the point in dealing Albies, Mallex and probably one other high end SP prospect just to upgrade from Sale to Teheran. If you're giving up just prospects then yes because it's a drastic upgrade to the major league roster but if we're just upgrading from Teheran to him it's tough. Although I see more potential upside in Folty, I'd prefer to move him over Teheran.

    Maybe so but Turner is about 5 times the player. It's just a dream anyways. Frazier can only hit bombs and steal a handful of bases with good defense. Sub 800 OPS guy.

    While I agree Sale is better than JT, I'D RATHER keep Teheran.

    The two would be dynamite together.

    No idea. Currently #60 overall on mlb pipeline and 2nd highest pitcher for the Braves.
