    I don't think there's even a slight chance Chicago makes that trade. No way.

    Yankees would probably have done this 4-5 years ago.

    Bowden reports the Braves were one of four teams to ask the Twins about Perkins. The other teams were the Rangers, Red Sox and Diamondbacks. The Twins were not interested. I'm glad to see the Braves aiming high.

    Would anyone offer Wood for Perkins?

    I wouldn't do it either. But it is not crazy to think that it would cost a prospect of that caliber to get Perkins. Especially when you consider the team friendly contract Perkins is signed to.

    So who is the highest rated Braves prospect that you would be willing to part with for Perkins.

    What about David Price at Tampa. Isn't he a free agent soon? Perhaps we could make a trade. Think they would take BJ back? 😳

    Are the Rays not in the middle of a pennant race?

    Two things the Braves need: late-inning (preferably lefty) reliever and another bench bat, preferably left-handed or switch, who can play middle infield. Would also like a TOR starter, but don't see it happening, nor would there be room without significant roster re-working.

    I think we are missing a TOR starter. Depending on who from our major league roster gets traded we should have enough depth to replenish the bullpen. I like our rotation but if it were game seven and you had to send out your TOR starter who would that be. The only person who could fill that role that I would trust is Tim Hudson but I don't even have faith in him in that type of scenario. Age has begun to catch up with him I'm afraid.

    If I am the GM I go for a TOR starter at the deadline and another veteran reliever.

    If the Rays wouldnt sign BJ for 15 mill a year why would they change their mind after he has the worst half season of his career?

    I was kidding. We are stuck with BJ for the next three years unless one of two things happen. He turns everything around and becomes a player worth the money he is being paid (which would make the majority of braves fans want to keep him) or we include a ton of cheap and desirable talent as a package.

    But I wasn't kidding about Price. They may want more than just a draft pick as compensation and we do have the talent to make it worth their consideration.

    Bottom line is I think we need a TOR starter and he is coming up for free agency soon.

    Says he could get up to 5 years 60 million. I have a hard time seeing the Braves giving out even half of that. With a contract like that you have to think he would not be long for the minors and would be expected to step into the rotation quickly. I predict the Cubs or Dodgers win the bidding. Heavily leaning towards Cubs.

    I don't want Perkins. He's a closet Nats fan, even posts on wnff.net. I wouldn't trust him late against them.

    I think it makes a certain amount of sense to see if we can upgrade the starting pitching. We have five who have done a good job in the first half and Beachy coming back. And maybe Wood. But I think the team could still benefit from an upgrade. A horse like Price would make us a much more dangerous team in a short series. I don't think Price is available. But I would would kick the tires on Josh Johnson and James Shields. They haven't had their best season this year. Which to me might be a good thing. It would keep the price reasonable and I still like the upside of those two.

    We might be facing the Dodgers in a five game series. I don't like the pitching matchups there. If Wren can change that for a reasonable price he should consider it.
