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

Interesting. I'm hoping for the ubiquitous live arm
Bowman says the return is a minor league pitcher that is not considered a prospect.
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
Do they have a draft pick for trade?
Are Fredi and Bud Black involved in this?
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.
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?

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

I have a feeling the team was never really sold on Chacin. I think there's a good chance he would have been DFA'd with another bad start or two.
I think I would target a live arm bullpen prospect. Someone of Krol's caliber.

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.

the only thing I hate about this trade is the whining I'm going to hear about THE Jhoulys freakin Chacin.

I love this trade. We turned a guy we signed off the scrap heap who we were probably going to DFA before long to make room for Jenkins or Sims into a 6 foot 8 lefty relief prospect with big K numbers.
