Braves acquire garcia

Jaime Garcia to the braves for prospects

[UNCBlue012]

YES. Fantastic gamble.

[dak]

Big fan of Garcia. One year of control at $12m. Nervous about cost.

[thewupk]

12 million for 1 year. Projected to be a 2 WAR player. Shouldn't be anybody substantial going back.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Still no word on the prospects

[Enscheff]

But...but...but...I thought they were going to get Archer or Sale?

Garcia has had tons of injury problems. He is likely a 0-1 win upgrade over someone like Wisler...at the cost of $12M and a prospect that has a pulse.

Yet another "win now" move that won't make the team win, but does buy time for the young pitchers to develop while giving the illusion they are building a winner. Hopefully a non-prospect went to the Cards.

Seems like I may have gotten my wish. No Sale . . . lesser talent for a lesser price. Now let's see those names!

Acquisition of Garcia does not necessarily end the Braves' search for a potential ace. So the Sale/Archer/Gray rumors will continue to swirl

[Enscheff]

Shut up.

but, but, but.....Sale! Archer!

[Hawk]

I have reason to believe this is likely bull****.

Ugh... Gant is reportedly the third.

[Enscheff]

Good. I was worried that 5 MLB starters meant they weren't going to trade for Archer or Sale. I'm glad to hear they will still get one of those Aces and roll with a 6 man rotation!

[Oklahomabrave]

And Jon Gant

Just because the Braves are rumored to trade for Sale or Archer doesnt mean it will happen, do you have to be a smartass over everything?

[Enscheff]

Ugh... Gant is reportedly the third.

So Dykstra, Ellis and Gant? Seems like a lot for a guy the Cards almost let walk rather than pay $12M.

I think Gant was the best piece in that package.

[Heyward]

but, but, but.....Sale! Archer!

I mean if Coppy wanted him he could get them but the cost would be extreme
