Trade Deadline: What are you willing to do?

[Horsehide Harry]

I probably would have done this one this past offseason, but I have my doubts about Reed's contact ability now and would rather keep Freddie.

About the only trades I would consider are:
Julio for Bregman
Julio for Benintendi or Moncada
Julio and Viz for Devers and Espinosa
Julio and Viz for Benintendi and Kopech

No thanks on Gallo or your Toronto trade.

I think Reed is going to hit as long as he doesn't get too fat.

In the never will happen trades:
1. Minter and Jenkins to Cubs for Happ. Cubs need rotation depth and a lefty RP bad. We are not trading minter and Cubs prob would want someone who has thrown a pitch in MLB.

2. Trade either Wisler or Folty instead of JT. Both have talent and long term control. Maybe you can pry a bat away and still keep Julio. Maybe the Rockies b/c they love Folty's velocity. Maybe Pitt.

[50PoundHead]

Trade every veteran. Hell, have a Military Appreciation Night and trade a few of them for good measure.

Fly the traded Braves to their new destination on Air Force jets!

[yeezus]

JT and Sims for Starling Marte and Ke'Bryan Hayes

Part 2:

Vizcaino to the Tigers for Christin Stewart and JaCoby Jones.

Johnson to the Tigers for JaCoby Jones.

[Trumps' twitter guy]

Build a wall around turner field and make the mets pay for it

I'm with you.

[zbhargrove]

Vizcaino to the Mariners for Tyler O'Neill.

Vizcaino to the Mariners for D. J. Peterson and Nick Neidert.

Vizcaino to the Cardinals for Randal Grichuk.

Vizcaino to the Dodgers for Alex Verdugo.

Toussaint, Sims, a choice of Ruiz or Riley, and Ricardo Sanchez to the Rays for Evan Longoria.

Wow... I don't think I'd do any of those. Those are awful trades

EDIT: sorry... Was reading as Teheran not Viz... Would do all but Touissant. It's not likely Longoria will hold up much longer

I am glad you edited that. I was wondering how much value Viz really has. I agree, that I don't like the Longoria trade either.

Teheran and Ruiz for Bregman

[ixiXSolidXixi]

I like that idea of Vizcaino for Grichuk. But we may need to add something else to that pack.

[bravesfanforlife88]

I was thinking we would make Olivera pay for it.

The wall is to keep olivera out

[nsacpi]

The wall is to keep olivera out

which is why he should pay for it

[bravesfanforlife88]

which is why he should pay for it

This is true.... hell the mets can get a loan from olivera, then pay him $1.2 mil for 30 years

Coppy recently hinted that we are looking for a catcher, and would consider a mid-season deal. No surprises there. I would be willing to do a mild overpay to fill a position of need. There are two catchers I can think of who could be moved mid-season: Derek Norris and Brian McCann.

Here is my take on their valuation:

Norris projects to be a 2.5 win per year player over his two remaining arb years. A total of 5 wins. He projects to be paid at a rate that is worth about 1.5 wins in the market over those two years. His projected surplus value is 3.5 wins. I'm willing to overpay a little, which means I'd be willing to send the Padres a package worth about 4.5 wins.

McCann has three years left on his deal (including the option for 2019, which is likely to vest). I would project him at 2.5 wins in 2017 and 1.5 wins in 2018 and 2019. His salary will almost exactly match his expected production. So expected surplus value of about zero. A slight overpay means sending a player worth about 1 win.

In terms of what we have to ship out, I think we will have four lefty relievers (Alvarez, Krol, Cervenka, Rodriguez) competing for 2 or 3 jobs next spring. We can trade one. I would also consider shipping one of Ellis, Whalen, Harrell, Baby Harang, Jenkins and Blair. Would still leave us with a projected rotation of Teheran, Wisler, Folty, Gant, and one other.

Would you do a Teheran for McCann, Severino and Miguel Andujar?

[bravesfanMatt]

Bowman is saying Lucroy is back on our radar. The concussion concern this winter pushed us away, but he has popped back up. But only interested in him if they could 'extent' him as well.

[KB21]

I'd love to get McCann back in Atlanta. It could probably be done without giving up a lot just to take his contract. I'm still steamed that the Melvin Upton contract essentially kept Atlanta from keeping McCann.

[KB21]

Still one of my favorites! Gomez still has not touched home.

Already 30, risk of losing him after one full year, and he'd probably cost a lot. I'm not interested in him. If we're trading for a catcher, try for a younger one that can grow with our core of players.

I'm not that interested in Norris since we traded Bud. A think a Norris-Norris battery would have been awesome.

I was browsing big league and AAA rosters the other day looking for catchers and there sure aren't many worth looking at out there. The Padres picked up Hector Sanchez earlier in the year, but DFA'd him a month later. He might be worth a look. Tim Federowicz and Josmil Pinto are two other guys that have some big league experience. Pinto is pretty bad defensively, but he can stick some. Zunino (SEA) and Nicholas (TX) are guys who might work if they were to come our way in a bigger deal.

PS--Seeing we can't have a Norris-Norris battery, I think the next best thing would be a Foltynewicz-Federowicz battery.
