Equivalent for the Braves doesn’t exist as Tate’s value less than Allard, but more than guys like Sanchez.
I’m glad the Braves didn’t beat the Yankees offer.

Britton to Yankees is done, now who is in it.
Looks like Tate, Rogers, and Carroll.
Yankees 9th, 15th, and non-top 30, pretty steep.

That’s to steep for Britton from a Braves perspective. Dang impressive haul for the Os for a RP.
good return for O's but I hate that he went to the Yankees.
Real nice trade for the O's. Carroll could have conceivably been a more useful reliever for the Yanks this season than Britton, even though the Yanks need a lefty.
thank you weso1!
Eovaldi to Red Sox -- another potential target (though not really discussed with Atlanta) is gone.
Andrew Gould, a write for Bleacher Report, proposed a few blockbuster trades in his most recent article. One of those trades has the Braves sending Allard, Touki, and Demeritte to the O's for Kevin Gausman.
Not sure how I feel about that one. I like Gausman but I'm not sure he's more than a mid rotation starter.
The cost is fair, but I just am not crazy about giving up that much talent for a mid rotation pitcher when we could easily sign a similar pitcher in the off-season. Obviously that doesn't help us now, but I'd rather target someone like Liriano, Lynn, Ross, or Odorizzi, who should be much cheaper to acquire.

I'd like to see Gausman with an organization besides the Orioles. The talent is there, but he tends to have too many meltdowns.
Liriano and Lynn are bad pitchers right now. Ross has turned back into a pumpkin. Odorizzi could be worth a shot. They'd be cheaper because they aren't very good.
One way to get me to hop off the AA bandwagon real quick is for us to trade Touki, Allard, and Demeritte for Kevin effing Gausman. Horrific trade idea.

I didn't realize Liriano had fell off as much since May with a FIP now over 5. Lynn has been the victim of some bad luck, combined with an insanely high walk rate. But Lynn, Odorizzi, and Ross are basically league average pitchers with solid peripherals that suggest there is potential to be expect a better 2nd half. And all we really need for the rotation is a league average pitcher to help steady our rotation and give us some depth to help with injuries and the younger guys hitting a wall.
I don't care about trading Allard, but Touki is turning untouchable for me.

Bo: Seems like a pretty light return for Eovaldi, no? A 45 FV LHP in AAA – why didn’t the Braves spring for him at a low cost?

Kiley McDaniel: Braves don’t have a directly comparable guy. Maybe Tucker Davidson or Kyle Muller? Would Braves fans do that deal?
