i wonder what this does to AA's in-season flexibility. i have to believe he left some space to take someone on. which means payroll is going up way higher and quicker than i think anyone thought.

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?
it's very possible one of them could be had without giving up any of those guys. as has been stated, Arenado has very little surplus value and isn't happy. Bryant has 1 or 2 years and is also unhappy. the packages for them likely won't be what many think they "should" be.

I AA gets Bryant, this lineup should be outstanding.
Braves would then need Pache and Waters to pan out into quality MLB players and be set in the outfield for the next 4-5 years starting in 2021

I think the org believes in Riley too much to trade get Bryant or Nolan right now. I agree with Super that it is minor adjustments from here on out and then reassess at the trade deadline. We have a team to keep us in great shape till then.

Neil Walker might be another nice stealthy add that could probably be had cheap - career .270/.344/.447 hitter as a lefty with attractive high leverage numbers that could pair pretty nicely with Camargo. His .306 BABIP from that side shouldn't give AA much reason to consider him an overly "lucky" option.

Holt makes a ton of sense for this team right now. 119 wRC+ vs righties last year and plays solid defense. wonder if he's asking for more than the Braves are comfortable with. he and Camargo could be a really solid platoon.

You guys are living in that fantasy world where real GMs are all going to use FV charts when making trades no matter what. All the numbers make tons of sense in theory - unfortunately the guys that do this for a living aren't playing fantasy baseball and they have fanbases to answer to.
If Theo or Bridich traded those guys without getting AT LEAST one of those prospects back, they'd be shown the door pretty quickly unless it was a Machado type of situation. If Bryant shockingly wins his grievance there's a non-zero chance that could happen in July, but that's so unlikely it's just shy of being a pipe dream. Whether it fits the popular numbers-based narrative or not, they actually have jobs doing this that they probably prefer to keep.

Brad Miller is out there if he can play 3B. not sure what his arm is like
Scott Gennett is also out there. can prob play 3rd. wonder what's going on with him.
and then Holt.
