    Reading the Shanks article sounds like he would have traded the whole roster if it meant getting rid of Upton

    Yeah - pretty over the top... Isn't there some thoughts that he's a racist?

    Sample size? FYI- Lester was terrible tonight, are you watching game? Should we also say Lester will be terrible and that the Braves made the right call not signing him. Its one game...

    If he keeps sliding head first it won't matter IMO he will be on the DL in no time.

    Not sure a Melvin is as appealing now that it's part of a dump.

    Yes, and to be fair, Lester isnt even close to on his game.

    Obviously not healthy, among other things, missing his spots.

    Im sure Heyward will have a fine year though.

    I know it's early. But a peak Heyward is better than anything Shelby or Tyrrell can provide.

    Tommy LaStella looking good early.

    He should never be taken seriously as a journalist, blogger, whatever—totally unprofessional.

    Maybe this trade will free up some $ to sign Dan Uggla?

    Jenkins looks far from a future reliever.

    So what will people say if we sign Heyward. The narrative is he wanted too much money.

    I think we burned that bridge tho. No way he comes back

    Sure, he'll come back if we offer him the dough. You can forget about any potential hometown discount or back-loading generosity though.

    This season he shouldn't be satisfied with anything less than multi-game hits.

    If Heyward has a monster year, no way he comes back.

    He'll get some insane offers in FA.
