Trades/acquisitions

Yep, 3-2 is the one outcome that makes it unclear on what to do. 2-3 would be 6 games out and done, probably. 4-1, you're right in it.

Go ahead and get josh Harrison too. Joc to CF

I think Harrison/Schwarber would be a nice get... I just don't think Washington will trade with us

it's frustrating that it probably should have been 5-0 series sweep.

Possibility of Twins trading RHP Jose Berríos increasing, sources tell me and
@DanHayesMLB
. Market exceeded Twins’ expectations; team now has offers in hand. Virtually all contenders have checked in. SD, TOR, LAD, TB, NYY among those with varying levels of interest.

If starting pitching was more of a glaring need, I'd love Berrios... but right now... somehow are starters are the strong part of the team

3-4 win player with an extra year of control. I'm curious what the offers for him are.

I'm kind of surprised the Twins are interested in trading Berrios. The Twins are much like us - have alot of really strong core pieces, but got snakebit this year.

I'm curious how much they decide to sell. If they sell Berrios, do they sell Donaldson?

If Bryant doesn't land with one of them, I would imagine the Mets or Phillies would make a play at Donaldson.

Austin Riley just hit another homer. I cannot even begin to describe how nice he's been for the Braves. That covers another place the Braves won't need to add at the deadline :)

One of the few bright spots of this year. He's probably more of a .250 -.260 hitter long term, but as long as he can maintain his current career line of .256/.324/.476, then he will be very valuable for u. Especially given his defensive flexibility.

[Carp]

Alright - Let me see how bad of an idea this is for the community.

Rockies pay half of Blackmons remaining salary (including player options). It would only costs a 40FV or less prospect.

Should the Braves inquire?

No

[Carp]

3B is a possible upgrade spot with Riley shifting to LF. He is that bad over there.

He doesn't look that bad on the eye test though. But last year's numbers and this year's number certainly suggest he's a pretty poor defender at the hot corner

[UNCBlue012]

Padres are frontrunners for Scherzer. Good lord, man.

Rosenthal: Padres close to acquiring Scherzer.

[zbhargrove]

Of course they are

[bravesfanforlife88]

Of course they are

How the hell do they still have any minor leaguers to trade after all the moves they've made over the last few years lol

[Carp]

I'm wondering why the Cubs aren't pushing Willson Contreras and Javy Baez more in trades. You'd figure both of those guys would bring in just as much, if not more than Bryant, being they are both easily the best available players at their respective positions.
