    Going to be interesting to see what Heyward can do when he's not batting lead off and doesn't have oscillating fans behind him striking out 8 of 10 times

    You clearly don't know anything about Jenkins. He's taken some time to develop but he's got top of the rotation potential. I'm not saying you have to like the trade or agree with it but this is a very solid haul for one year of Heyward.

    I mentioned a few days ago, this could be an uncomfortable offseason. Sometimes, the changes you make are the ones that are the most uncomfortable. Brace yourselves, because I don't think the Braves are done dealing.
    They aren't and Hart warned us. One of the reason's JS wanted Hart in the primary position for now is because of this, as it would be a huge undertaking for a talented guy like JC to doing such a thing.

    I have to believe this is because they don't think JHey will ever hit like he did as a rookie.

    I don't understand trading for a number 3 starter. The Braves can crank out number 3 starters in their sleep. If you trade JHey I want a long term answer with star potential position player.

    If this is the route.......fire sale. As long as you get more return than this.

    I'm sure some will say it's only 1 year of JHey + draft pick compensation. That's true, but you need to get blown away to trade him this early.

    Here's hoping that doesn't become part of the prattling that will undoubtedly accompany a move as big as this.

    Think anyone with half a brain knew Heyward wasn't staying here long term and it was a risk to sign him to big dollars as it is due to his lack of offensive production.

    But, Shelby Miller? Really, not like Shelby Miller and a top 10 prospect? Not Shelby Miller and Matt Carpenter? Not Shelby Miller and someone good at the very least?

    I'm shocked.

    Some positives to take away, Miller finished this yr on a roll with a 2.95 ERA over his last 12 starts. May be something clicked for him.

    How many surgeries has Jenkins had on his arm? We have no clue what we are going to get from that guy.

    I know we had dreams of getting a huge Teixera like haul from someone, but Heyward has 1 year left on his deal, and he hasn't lived up to his hitting potential yet. I think we're valuing him more than the league at this point.
    Care to comment on what we should expect from Miller and Jenkins? I'm curious.

    Heyward wasn't going to sign here long term. We got a high ceiling pitcher in return.

    I don't see what the issue was. The real dumb decision would be to let him walk for a comp pick next yeAR.

    THIS....I'm shocked.....I knew we we're gonna rebuild, reload, whatever you want to call it, but we didn't get enough IMO.

    Or Hart is in there to make all the unpopular moves before he turns over the clean slate to Coppolella.

    Except take Heyward and Upton out of this equation and where is our Gant, Justice, etc?
    Gant would be Gattis obviously. We don't have a Justice.

    I'm going to take a few breathes before I bash it. I'm reading comments from other fans who think it's really smart. Heyward wasn't signing here...you get a quality arm signed for several more years.
