Love to see the Nats send Robles for Realmuto. I think he's pretty overrated honestly, even if he is a quality player. They could just as easily sign Lucroy, who has more risk, but could easily be as good better than Realmuto.

So the Marlins apparently asked for Acuna from the Braves and then settled for that crap from the Brewers. Wow.

How are people comparing Albies to Brinson? Albies was much younger in AAA, and showed way more at the MLB level.
This is a loss for the Marlins once again.
Man, Brewers also sign Cain. They’re looking good!
Lorenzo Cain has agreed on a 5-year, $80M deal with the #Brewers, source says. It’s the biggest free agent contract of the offseason. The deal includes no-trade protection and significant award bonuses. Milwaukee building a super outfield with addition of Yelich and Cain.
Oh no way, that's way more than what the Brewers gave up.Originally Posted by Heyward
An equivalent package is probably Albies, Pache or Riley, Waters and someone like Touki. Gohara could have maybe been substituted for Albies.
So....
1. Albies/Gohara
2. Pache/Riley
3. Waters
4. Touki
for Yelich.
I don't think that would have been a smart move for the Braves.

Wow...
They will be trading Santana now.

Pache will be yelich soon... probably less of a hitter, but more of a fielder
Brewers are going to always do Brewer things. Follow a good deal for Yelich with a bad deal for Cain.
And here we were talking about getting Cain for 3/45 or 3/50....
It never fails. We always talk about stupidly pozzy scenarios haha.
Have I learned my lesson yet? Probably not!
To bad Coppy any JH are gone. They could seize the opportunity to trade JT straight up for Braun
Does Santana fit AA’s direction for the team? He was a negative defender
What did we miss with Yelich that made teams not match or beat the brewers offer
His GB% concerned me some
I think the brewers going all in on outfield is pozzi for us. We should be able to have options for of help.
Santana is what coppy thought kemp was just at 21 million less a year
Braun is 34, and owed 18, 19, 19 mil next 3 years (age 34-36 seasons), and has a 15 mil option in 2021. I'd pass.
Seems Marlins fans are mostly happy...don't know how you can be happy with settling with Brinson and the rest when you were asking other teams for players like Acuna, Robbles, and Vlad Jr (and those were just starting pieces). Seems to me those three by themselves are worth more than the 4 players they got combined. I'm not sure why anyone would be enamoured with Brinson given his age, and he's only had the one good season (which was at triple A).
Awful trade for the Fish. I love it.
This is a deal that didn't necessarily have a good parallel for Atlanta. These are toolsy, high upside but volatile position players. I don't think centering a deal around Soroka is comparable.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide

Would folty get either? I’d rather hold Julio than folty
