Quintana back in the news (MLBTR)

[Horsehide Harry]

So, it looks like the Chisox are playing the waiting game on moving Quintana. And, with Houston gaining the Card top two picks, they are saying they may be in better position to move players.

Looking at Quintana and Teheran, outside of Q being a lefty and Teheran being 2 full years younger, I don't see much difference. Quintana has been slightly more valuable but has gained that value at an older age than Teheran. Teheran is entering his prime years and Quintana is beginning to exit. Both have great contracts.

The Sox have been adamant with the Stros about wanting Musgrove, Martes and Tucker.

Would you be willing to move Teheran for Bregman and Fisher?

First, would the Stros move Bregman for anybody? They signed Gurriel who's best spot is 3B, so they have a ready replacement and they also have Moran and JD Davis in the minors. So, maybe.

Second, is a Bregman & Fisher ask less than a Musgrove, Martes, Tucker ask? I would say yes.

Third, should the Braves do it? Moving Teheran goes against the off season messaging for sure. But, how big of a difference would Teheran vs Wisler or Blair be as compared to Bregman vs Garcia and longer term Kemp vs Fisher?

I would do Bergman and Fisher for JT and then tell Wisler, go and be JT damnit..

I would absolutely do that deal, but there is no chance the Astros move Bregman.

Maybe not but I would make them tell me no.

Agreed. And I've read more than one person say the Astros' best move is to put Bregman at SS and move Correa to 3B.

This.

I think the Stros would move Bregman, but not for JT.. I also don't think the Braves would trade JT straight up for Bregman. I would love to have that infield.. but I just don't see a fit. Bregman and Fisher.. that is a no brainer!!

[Russ2dollas]

I think the trade to make on a message board that would never happen in real life:
Package JT + FF for Bregman and a haul. FF probably loosens up Bregman and then the Braves can find someone (Kemp?) to play 1B.

No way Coppy does it.

[Horsehide Harry]

I would do Bergman and Fisher for JT and then tell Wisler, go and be JT damnit..

Yeah...

I really like the idea of a Freeman, Albies, Swanson, Bregman infield for the next six to ten years. And Fisher could certainly be a better LF prospect than any currently in the Braves system (Unless Maitan moves there, and assuming Acuna is a CF or RF).

Teheran is a fine. I have no issues with him. However, if you are going to spend 2-3 years collecting arms, you have to work on the premise that some of those arms will make a more than viable replacement for Teheran.
