    Braves Trade Deadline Rumors

    With just about 24 days away from the deadline I thought I would post a thread where we can add all the rumors.



    This is from Rosenthal today

    Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 2h

    Sources: #WhiteSox’s Thornton on long #RedSox list of possible bullpen targets. #Braves also inquired on Thornton; interest “limited.”



    I know some don't like Thorton but I do think he is a target all be it a "limited" one.

    Sounds like we're interested in the Yankees Joba Chamberlain....

    Olney says we were scouting Chase Utley during the Philly series.

    Spoiler: 
    Yeah right.

    Not really, Ollie is perfect for us...he's been a really good arm out of the pen the last 2 years.

    Hi strand rate and low HR/FB rate the last couple years for Ollie. Ex-FIP around 3.7 over the two year period. Not bad. But not great either.

    Question: If the Braves trade for another bullpen arm, who on the current roster would get moved down or traded?

    Good question. Kimbrel, Walden and Avilan aren't going anywhere. So one of Wood, Carpenter, Varvaro and Ayala. It is possible two of those guys get sent down if there is a trade and one of the starters is displaced by Beachy.

    Varvaro and Ayala don't have options left. Wood and Carpenter do.

    Wood is better than Ollie imo.

    I assume we're looking for a lefty to replace Wood so he can get back to his normal developmental schedule.

    Agreed, but Obispo is better than Ayala too. It's the better to go with the vet view. I'm annoyed we've went through so many relievers and Obispo hasn't gotten his shot yet.

    There is NO WAY Utley will be dealt to Atlanta. Next chance of having a new second baseman will be in the offseason

    Starters like Perez can sometimes thrive when being limited to a relievers role. I would definitely give him a look. Either way unless an injury goes down we are really only looking at restocking the pen. I would prefer to get a shutdown loogy more than anything.

    Getting Utley would send a strong message though!

    I'd love the idea of going after Utley in the offseason and dumping off Uggla, unfortunately there's no shot of that happening. Utley's only issue is injury and we could bring up manchild LaStella to replace Utley when he goes down.

    That's been my thinking all along, too, about Uggla. So many posts at The Other Place made it sound as if it would be a breeze to unload him with a package, including a couple of desirable prospects. It'd pretty much require bringing back another bad contract.

    Saw a blurb on Uggla the other day on Roto:

    Dan Uggla said Monday that the new prescription for his contacts have greatly improved his vision at the plate.Uggla has battled vision issues all year and will undergo Lasik surgery after the season is over. He's batted .277/.327/.574 with three homers and 12 RBI over his last 12 games, though, and gives plenty of credit to his new contacts. "There are some at-bats when it does not feel like it's quite there," Uggla said. "But more times than not, it's night-and-day different."

    Now if someone wants Uggla, I still trade him....but maybe this was really his problem and he will be back to normal at the plate?
