I would explore trading Kimbrel + Uggla for a long term answer at 3B or 2B + maybe 2 B prospects.
It's going to be a team with big money who can afford Kimbrel long term. So they could afford Uggla.
I'm not sure who that trade partner is.
Kimbrel trades get the board up in arms....but I just don't see another way. Braves should act while they still have the leverage. If they don't get a good offer, then they keep one of the best closers ever, it's a win win.
