    I still can’t get over the Kela deal. We could’ve easily matched that and should’ve. He’s a stud and would’ve been an important bullpen piece for the next two years. I’d feel a lot better if we had him and Minter in the late innings.

    Yep, he didnt even get traded for a top 100 player, i'd have easily moved some high pieces for him, thought he'd bring back much more in return.

    That was a really strange trade. I don't get it. I can only hope AA wasn't give any indication they would have accepted a similar type of return from us. Still I love what AA did

    I would love to know what this was. Doubt it was Archer based on his other comments about knowing what it would take to get him. I suspect it was a bat.
    Go get him!

    It wasnt Archer, he said the price was too high.

    Might be an offseason move for whatever it was.

    It was an awesome interview. He said they had some great conversations that they would keep talking about till the winter meetings.

    Well obviously whoever it was the price was too high. For much of the day everything started trending towards the Braves being the clear front runner. And the the Pirates came in with the crazy offer in the literal last hour. Sounds like it could have been Archer till they swooped in to me... but if the price wasn't too high for whoever it was, a deal would have likely been done, lol

    Could be “coach talk”, but AA said we never really close on a deal with Archer.

    People feed things to the media all the time that’s untrue. It could have been the Rays people telling Rosenthal or whomever that the Braves were closing in to make the Pirates up their offer.

    despite AA's words i suspect we were, in fact, in on archer until the last minute.

    Yeah I think so too. There was too much smoke to not be fire. Who knows how close we really were, but with AA's insistence on not selling our top prospects, I have to think that we were nowhere close to the Pirates offer.

    I completely agree. It was the only real scuffle throughout this entire process. He’s good enough to take our bullpen from mediocre to solid, and he puts our pitchers into good places. He, Minter and a healthy Viz would be really good.

    Boweden just doesn't know how current FO's operate. He would of given up half the farm for Archer and have the team be irrelevant in 5 years.

    This article at least puts the trade deadline in perspective as it outlines what everyone did in the last couple of weeks.

    Not vouching for all their grades, but I think their putting it in the didn't move the needle much category is correct. Braves need outperformance for these moves to make a big impact.

    It would be interesting if someone would calculate the net expected wins added from the Braves' moves.

    I think they showed support to the team and made some moves that might help, but the things other contenders did were probably bigger on paper.

    We will see how it all plays out.

    Don't think they're done, based on something AA said on last night's broadcast.

    More or less quoting him: "We were in discussions about a left-handed bat, an impact bat, that didn't happen but there still could be something there."

    Guessing that's not Harper (duh) but he did not use the word "impact" by accident. But since there were no clues about either deal we made, I cannot ventuire a guess who this is/was.

    AA made moves. They were upside type moves. You get what you pay for and I feel we got much more than we gave up. The risk is in line with where this team is this year and gives us a better chance.

    Did a quick glance a the hitting league leaders, and tried to find who an "impact" bat would be from a losing team that hits left handed.

    Choo (could be traded), Eddie Rosario (highly unlikely to be traded), Brandon Belt (don't see him being traded).

    That's all I've got who has an OPS over 800. Don't see where we even have room to plug someone in anyway.
