    Hypothetical Trade Scenario

    Lets say you are the Braves GM. You get a text from the Yankees GM saying:

    We will trade you McCann for B.J. Upton and Bethancourt.
    After CB's recent callup are you interested in this move?

    Mac's contract is longer and therefore worse than Upton's, so no.
    The Atlanta Braves signed Nick Markakis for 4/45 - Never forget 12/3/2014

    "Klay Thompson > James Harden" - Heyward

    "Chris Bosh is the MVP of the Miami Heat" - Heyward

    Or, worse. McCann, because ... where else is he going to play?

    I'd take the deal then flip McCann, eating some salary as necessary.

    Any interest in bringing back Delgado? Apparently he has taken the Justin route in Arizona. He could really be a useful piece. In addition Bowden has us trading Hale and Salcedo for Bastardo- any takers? Is it me or is that too much for Bastardo?

    No on giving up Hale for Tony Bastard. I have no particular attachment to Hale, I just don't think Bastardo is worth that much. I'd rather have Miller.

    What about bringing in a couple southeast boys?

    Heyward and Gattis for Weiters, Markakis, and prospect(s)?
