Came across this article from bleacher report about how this could go down as one of the worst trades in DECADES. Lots of dbacks fans not happy about the deal....


Btw is Blair pitching against Miller Saturday?

[bravesfanforlife88]

Some good D-backs tears in this thread I found:

Somebody should dig up their reactions from when the deal originally went down.

This deal is still incredible. I can't believe it. Swanson changed so much about our rebuild.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Cards get Heyward and walden
Braves get Miller and Jenkins

I think that deal was pretty even especially with Heyward bolting after the season and walden with severe injury issues

Dbacks get Miller and spiere(?)
Braves get Swanson Blair and Inciarte

No doubt win for the braves right now. Season is the future face of the organization. Blair has looked really solid for us in the minors and few mlb starts. Inciarte will be real good once off injury.

I was heavily against trading Inciarte in the offseason partly because I didn't fully trust mallex yet. But based on what I've seen mallex can hang with the big club, if we get a stupid offer and obvious win I could trade Inciarte

I want to see Ender AND Mallex out there. It would be a huge mistake to trade Ender, I think. Probably my favorite player on the Braves right now.

I wanna see more of him, but I love what he brings to the table overall. I'm also hesitant to trade him due to the lack of OFers we have in the system.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Hey I agree I love Inciarte. I'm just saying that if we are blown away on a deal then you have to consider it. But we have him under control for a long time so let's see what both of them can do in the outfield

In essence, Braves turned Heyward and Walden in to Swanson, Blair, Jenkins and Inciarte. Not too shabby!

And they turned Wood and Peraza into Hector and a couple of TJ middle relief guys.

Amazing how things seem to balance out.

Looking even worse now, but he should still be able to turn it around.

they weren't as mad as I thought they'd be.
maybe this place has me conditioned.

Honestly, they don't seem to be extremely bright. Several at least partially justified by saying they were in position to 'go for it'. First, that team was never really in position to truly go for it. Second, that trade made them obviously worse long-term but also likely worse as soon as midseason this year.

[emk418]

Definitely a win for the Braves because of Swanson. I don't think long term Blair or Inciarte are pieces that are going to truly come back to haunt the Dbacks. Swanson absolutely looks like that piece though

But Inciarte is already a very good major league player, and Blair has the chance to be that as well. Swanson may end up being the best piece, and maybe even the only guy with a chance to be a multi-year All-Star, but all 3 absolutely have the chance to be really valuable pieces. Giving that up for one good pitcher (who so far has been downright terrible) is not good.

Even if it was only Inciarte and Blair, that probably ends up being an obvious win for the Braves.

and they were saying Swanson wouldn't be relevant il 2017.
Currently they are starting Nick Ahmed there. I think Swanson would be better instantly.
