    Braves And A's Discussing J. Upton And Gattis?

    #Athletics talking with #Braves about Justin Upton, Evan Gattis sources say. Jeff Samardzija may be the bait.

    Justin for Samardzjia is a pretty even deal. John Jaso would make a good platoon partner for Bethancourt. Not sure what else we would want from them.


    Edit - justin/Gattis for Samardzjia/Jaso/Reddick?

    Do the Braves really need more pitching?

    Just my opinion.. if this is indeed somewhat true, there would have to be an extension had from Shark.

    Yeah. Maybe they feel he is at a better price range then Lester.

    Exactly. I would rather have Lester if the deals were comparable though.

    Jeff Samardzija doesn't fit as he is a free agent after this season, same as Justin.

    The absolute only way I see us dealing both Upton and Gattis to the A's would be for Sonny Gray! Gray would be that TOR guy the Braves have been looking for.

    The A's would never do that.

    I wish the trade would go down already. I am ready to go to bed but I know that as soon as I do, the trade will happen! :)

    It's sad. I've got Twitter and MLB Trade Rumors both open while checking in here in Chop Country.

    It was so bad I had to go look up my password for this site. It's been that long since I've posted!

    Well then there's nothing and I mean NOTHING else I'd want from Oakland! The Braves would be stupid to trade with them!
