Trades/acquisitions

How do Duvall and pederson grade out in CF?

[zbhargrove]

Ehh, I'll wait to see the price before I boom this. Closer costs suggest it could be ugly.

Wilson and Devito... has to be considered a big win for the Braves

[Southcack77]

Two plus years of Rodriguez for Bryce Wilson seems like a very nice deal.

[Enscheff]

What an odd set of OF moves. AA is setting up the roster with platoon matchups Snit will be unable to utilize.

Depending on what they paid for RiRod, I think this was a pretty good deadline considering the likelihood of actually making the postseason.

Rizzo brought back a 50 and 45. Probably would have expected more along those lines had we sold. Particularly since Freeman is a good bit better than both players.

Bryant and Freeman are very comparable production wise right now. Rizzo likely brought back that much because the Cubs are paying all of his remaining salary. Not sure if there are any financial considerations with Bryant.

Braves had a bunch of guys from the last few drafts that have performed. Nice to have guys like Devito and Kalich to add in trades while not spending terribly high picks on them.

[zbhargrove]

I've wanted Soler for years. A bit late, but maybe he will return to form.

He already has in recent weeks and the statcast/batted ball profile suggests he's been one of the unluckiest hitters in the MLB this year

DOB had no idea. lmao

Bryse Wilson and Ricky Devito from Braves to Pirates for Richard Rodriguez, source says.

Nice deal for the Braves and a good opportunity for Wilson.

[Deester11]

Hell yes! I can't stand Wilson

You said it. Not me. Eloquent. 😂😂😂

That's acceptable. Hope Wilson figures it out. Devito is more than a throw in though.

Frankly I'm surprised #Braves didn't trade for some bullpen help. Lot of relievers moved today, and prices weren't outrageous on quite a few.


Wow. DoB dogging on AA a little bit. This is strange

Way to be plugged in there, buddy.

[Hudson2]

Richard Rodriguez ... BOOM. 4-2, 2.82 and 14 saves for the crappy Pirates. Controllable through 2023!

Best pickup we could have gotten for the bullpen no doubt. The control is huge.

[PawPawMaxwell]

Where is DOB right now?

[thethe]

This team can absolutely win the division now.

[Dalyn]

Nice to hear. I've always really liked him.

[Garmel]

I wonder if the substance ban will affect Rodriquez.

[rico43]

Bryse Wilson and Ricky Devito for Rodriguez and Kalich for Soler.... not bad

DeVito 0-3 in 5 starts for Rome. OK ERA though. Kalich 0-2 for Rome, five saves, 3 something ERA.

Bryant gets bonus points for position flexibility, but when comparing offensive value and park factors, Freddie has been a good bit better. And ultimately teams are paying for offense.

Where is DOB right now?

Listening to CDs in a rental car on his way to a BBQ restaurant.
