    What are some other bad contracts the Braves could take on along with a prospect that would help a contender clear salary space to trade for an upgrade from someone else?

    Something else to consider: the Braves positioning themselves as a third party financier in a trade involving a Papelbon/Hamels/CJ Wilson etc.

    A straight cash for prospects proposition.
