Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

Not bad. We have a million yepez in the org. Wonder how much they are sending.

Awesome
Ugh
This trade makes little sense to me, why give up a 19 year old top 25 prospect in a deep system just so you can have a "legit" 1B for two months in a lost year?
Making moves for the playoff push I see.

Silly move, though Adams is the backup 1B/pinch hitter we should've had on the bench all along.

I can see both sides. Braves probably feel that Yepez won't be able to stick defensively at 3B and won't hit enough to play 1B. I'm not an Adams fan by any means, but he's a decent bench piece for when Freeman returns. Can we finally release Bonifacio now?
Interesting trade. I think the cost is fair, though I'm probably not as high on Yepez as some given it's hard to see where he plays defensively.

Matt Adams is not a legit MLB 1B.
What a great deal.
I have no complaints. Big lefty hitter who can hold the fort down until Freddie comes back. Who knows, if Adams plays well, perhaps he gets traded for another good prospect at the deadline.

I only watch highlights unless it's a free game and it's pretty obvious that Jace hasn't played much 1B. People think you can throw any slug over there and he'll field the position with no problem. Lots of footwork issues around the bag and some other little quirks that make it tricky.
