Really hope that's just talk.
Quintana will cost about three farms and Gray--while a team could catch lightning in a bottle with him--has huge durability questions. That said, Teheran is clearly behind both of these guys in the trade deadline target pecking order. I still think Teheran has muscled up too much and has lost some flexibility (which would lead to a decline in velocity). I was watching Ervin Santana on the tube the other night and he looks to have slimmed down and is getting it up there consistently at 93.
I doubt the Braves move Teheran unless they are bowled over and I doubt anyone is going to bowl them over. I like the Adams/Teheran to the Yanks suggestion.
Wtf.... hell no.
Trying to make moves to edge towards a WC appearance this year would be so shortsighted.

Colorado is another place that seems to have a surplus of hitters, though not sure how they would match up in need.
I'd like to read this as they are willing to acquire something if it would help the team make a run in 2018.
Not sure. This would be the downside of being .500 though. You get statements like this and it is difficult for them to sell appropriately.
Any team that acquires Teheran now will have orchestrated a fairly brilliant buy-low move at the expense of the Braves. I hope the Braves are smart enough not to do it.
It would be folly to pay the 2017 contender's premium to acquire a valuable player to help in 2018. Another example of poor utilization of resources if that happens.
That's a really good point, as it could be a case of prisoner of their own success. It was said that other teams were seeking their own Shelby Miller type returns. So why would the Braves be any different? Still, they had to have been realistic. Unless somebody can pull out some verifiable names and serious discussions, it's not enough that "Enscheff says his value was highest at such and such a point."
Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports that teams have inquired with the Braves on Julio Teheran.
Heyman lists the Astros as one of the clubs that have talked to the Braves about the right-hander. Teheran would probably be more of a fallback option for a contender looking for rotation help, as he's put up a disappointing 5.14 ERA this season. However, most of his issues have come at SunTrust Park (7.58 ERA), and Teheran held a 3.21 ERA last season and is under control cheaply through 2020.

I'd be all for that. Clear win to turn Yepez into that, even if they're not super exciting.
I don't know why the Astros would do that top deal, though. They're clearly the best team in baseball, and Tucker could be huge for them for years to help continue the run. No reason to risk cutting the run short to try to add onto what they have this year.
Take that immediately if it's on the table.
Agreed. And yeah, no way the Astros are giving up Tucker period I don't think, much less him and Marte in that deal.
If the Astros were willing to give up Tucker for Quintana they would already have him in their rotation.
The Sox would be wise to accept whatever the best package the Astros were offering this offseason. And that package won't include Tucker.

Agreed.
Both injury prone pitchers. Acevedo is a FV 40 BP guy, and Finley is a guy that didn't even crack the Yank's Top 30 according to FG.
No thanks. I'd rather see him on the 2018 bench.
I agree.
Exactly! You I wouldn't just give Adams away!
Pipeline has Acevedo as a 50 overall and put a 45 on Finley, who was an oversign out of high school in 2015.
I'd say they are more valuable than what Braves gave up but I'd think they would want something more tangible in 2018 at this point.
Acevedo had great line in AA this year though.
Pipeline also had 65 guys in this year's draft rated 50+.
Their FV grades mean nothing.
There is a perfect world where trading Julio over the next 2 weeks will happen, but a lot of things have to happen. It's not likely.
