Chacin About to be Traded to Angels

[zbhargrove]

No details yet, per Bowman. Perez likely to start tonight instead.

[striker42]

Interesting. I'm hoping for the ubiquitous live arm

Bowman says the return is a minor league pitcher that is not considered a prospect.

It's the Angels, so that goes without saying.

[depley]

Perez is not an improvement, I wonder what we are to get. But really a minor league player not considered a prospect? Seems a bit weak

[zbhargrove]

Do they have a draft pick for trade?

[bravesnumberone]

Are Fredi and Bud Black involved in this?

[Carp]

Given Chacin's contract and performance thus far, I find it hard to believe all we will receive is AAA filler, especially when it's nowhere close to deadline.

Do they have any picks to trade? Cause that would make more sense.

[MadduxFanII]

Do we demote Mallex to AAA to make room for Trout, or should we move Ender to right and make Markakis an overpaid fourth outfielder?

[Garmel]

You'd think we would be able to get a decent reliever for him.

I thought because Simmons was hurt, we might be getting him back. There's always Kubitza and Cunningham.

[The Chosen One]

Woooooo.

these guys are killing Bowman lolololol

'it looks like Bowman already ate the PTBNL'

[DaneHill]

Hmm, wonder if the conversation started with offering Aybar back to them now that Andrelton's out for a lengthy period. Oh well.

Agreed. We should not expect a Top 100 type prospect for four months of Chacin. But I would like to see someone within the Angels top 10 and I don't think that this is unrealistic. Also wouldn't mind getting Kyle Kubitza back.

I understand LA has a terrible farm, but a top 10 guys for 4 months of a guy we got off the scrap heap?

[yeezus]

Adam McCreery, LHP. 23 YO in rookie ball last year

[Enscheff]

And the point of this trade is what? Chacin is worth more to the Braves as an inning eater in a lost season than this non-prospect will ever be.

Chacin has been pitching well and has pitched well in the not so distant past. He is a successful reclamation projection. McCreery is an inadequate return imo.

We got him for nothing, he has a 5.40 ERA (I know, i know, that doesn't matter, but it does), and he's a 4-month rental. the guy didn't have a job when we got him.
