    The NEW $64,000 Question

    Can you realistically pawn Julio off on someone to create a little more financial flexibility?

    Who could legitimately use him - regardless of what kind of return you get?

    Moving him would clear the salary space to add a free-agent Closer, and there should be enough room left to add Carasco to take his place in the rotation.

    Could you get a cheap pen piece like Kirby Yates or Mychal Givens for him? Might Oakland be interested in him as a cheaper alternative to pursuing a free-agent? Anaheim?
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Oakland is the perfect fit. Has $$ and clear need of a guy who can take the ball every 5th day with Manaea hurt.

    Julio and Dansby for Castellanos and Shane Greene might not be terrible - money wouldn't be a tough fit and would give you...

    Acuna, Ozzie, Freddie, Donaldson, Camargo, Castellanos, Flow/Mac, Ender on offense while adding Greene to the pen.

    No idea what the value charts would think of that though.

    Braves dont have the positional depth to be trading someone like Dansby.

    Regarding Julio.

    Detroit has a need, and can decline his option at years end.

    Oakland is coming off a playoff berth and alot of their rotation are FA's. I'd try to get a pen piece from them if possible.

    And other team i can see is the Reds, maybe Pirates as well. There's options out there if AA doesnt care what the return is since the rotation market is kinda weak this year.

    let Julio be our number 3 or 4 unless there is a real way to make us better by trading him

    The assumption is that he'd be being dealt to create financial flexibility in the event AA makes a move for another corner OF or TOR arm.

    If they made a move for Carrasco, the money would be fairly even and Carrasco would take his place in the rotation.

    Like having one of the prospects like Soroka or Toussaint start a game?

    Not paying him and letting one of our many better pitchers have his spot already makes the team a ton better

    His FIP was a bit high, but he really wasn't that bad last year. 1.8 WAR for $8M is a great deal. He's just not the #1/#2 we were hoping for when he came up. If you're expecting him to be a 4/5 for your rotation you're in good shape. I'm fine if we deal him, but I'm not going to be upset either if we end up paying him $10M or $12M or whatever to be our #5. He's tossed 175+ innings every year since 2013 and has given us 16.8 total WAR in that time
