    I saw today the A's want a CF prospect as the headliner for Gray.

    If so, Coppy needs to back out.

    I don't think it's that complicated. It's CK + BJ for Wisler. It just has more people. It's less complicated than the Dodgers and Red Sox salary dump. Sending money is complicated and I think requires extra vetting by the league. Kemp is just a salary dump in a player form.

    It's still just two teams.

    I don't think anyone has ever traded 3/5 of a rotation. We'll send them Wisler and Blair to eat innings and ensure their tank.

    I think it's a deal that makes sense........IF the Braves can take on the money and the Tigers are very motivated to move the money. I don't know that either is true.

    I agree. But it is "out of the box" and most people like boxes.

    I expect some Braves fans to freak out over this but the wording is important. The A's are interested in Acuna. Just because they're interested doesn't mean we're willing to deal him.

    That being said, if Coppy deals Acuna for Gray, I'll be calling for Coppy's head.

    I agree, I mean what GM wouldn't be interested in Acuna...the whole of chopcountry would be outside Sun Trust with pitchforks if that happened

    I'm sure D'Backs fans said the same about number 1 overall pick Dansby Swanson.

    Never underestimate stupid people under pressure.

    I'm sure they are interested in Acuna. I've been concerned because of the market that Coppy will do something stupid like include Acuna or Albies. Just ready for Gray to be moved to get this over with.

    Best I would offer is Pache, Anderson, and Sims. If it's much more than that, we need to be out. Gray is not changing the fortune of this franchise in the next two years.

    Makes you wonder if the A's are floating Acuna's name to jack up the price.

    Will try to respond to 1 of these and hope does trick, but you know, Twitter. I did NOT include Acuna's name in my story

    ---

    So I guess he's attributing the Acuna rumor to Morosi.

    #Braves pursuit of Sonny Gray is compatible with their trade of Jaime García. In both cases, they are looking for long-term assets. @MLB

    You're staring two legit difference makers in the face of promotion: Albies and Acuna. Let the other bs go. Nothing to look at here. I'd trade Swanson before Albies and I said last year from WATCHING IN PERSON that Albies is no 1b to Swanson 1a. (And I'm not piling on Swanson, I think he will be solid). We built the farm the right way. You don't trade either of those and Maitan for pitching. People here bytch about Julio, imagine trading the farm for part deaux!

    Fundamentally, it is never going to happen. Not really about boxes.

    I’m hearing the #Athletics want Kolby Allard, but #Braves said no…deal could have looked like Allard, Luiz Gohara and Austin Riley for Gray
