Braves Trade Deadline Rumors

[The Tariff King]

Let's ask the Padres what they'd take for Peavy and Headley.

 

[Heyward]

I would love to get Shields.

KC isn't trading him nor do we have the prospects to get him.

Let's ask the Padres what they'd take for Peavy and Headley.

Jurrjens and Escobar would be the starting point.

 

[Heyward]

Shields, Peavy and Josh Johnson would all help us. I prefer the first two because they are also signed for next year.

Johnson has sucked ass this year.

KC isn't dealing Shields.

Wouldn't mind Peavy but it would cost too much IMO.

 

[The Tariff King]

Jurrjens and Escobar would be the starting point.

I was hoping they'd take either Delgado/Vizcaino + Lillibridge package. Maybe even include Hoover/Locke as a throw-in?

 

[CyYoung31]

I was hoping since Escobar and Jurrjens are gone that they'd take either Delgado/Vizcaino + Lillibridge package. Maybe even include Hoover/Locke as a throw-in?

Way too much. I'd rather give up Teheran than Viz. Teheran's stuff is too straight and Viz is the next Rafael Soriano. And Lillibridge went in the Vasquez deal, so I don't know what you're talking about there.

Ok.

Maybe Marte, Brayan Pena, Belisle get it done? I wouldn't be opposed to throwing in Prado as well to seal the deal. Anything more and they can politely exit the same door they came in.

KC wants MLB ready talent for Santana.

Medlen+ for Santana/Herrera.....

Honestly, they'd probably ask for Bubba Nelson. Probably wouldn't be worth it.

Lol, no. How does that make us any better?

 

[NYCBrave]

I wonder if the price of Peavy would be cheaper since he's signed to 15+ million next year. I also wonder if the Sox would give salary relief in exchange for getting higher calibur minor league players in a deal.

 

[CyYoung31]

Honestly, they'd probably ask for Bubba Nelson. Probably wouldn't be worth it.

If they insisted on including Bubba I would counter with Trey Hodges and see if they budge.

Hodges had a really really really good W-L record for Richmond. Solid.

 

[CyYoung31]

Hodges had a really really really good W-L record for Richmond. Solid.

Reports are that he's white and he really loves baseball. I'd hate to part ways with him, but you got to give a little to get a little.

 

[emk418]

I really have no interest at all in a multi-year commitment to Peavy.

 

[bravesfan247]

Lol, no. How does that make us any better?

Really? Im amazed at the lack of baseball knowledge. Santana is a MUCH better pitcher this year than Medlen.

Does 1 year and 2 months count as multi-year?

 

[skidlee]

Funny how i was laughed at for wanting Peavy and Santana and now Wren is looking hard at both

 

[nsacpi]

Really? Im amazed at the lack of baseball knowledge. Santana is a MUCH better pitcher this year than Medlen.

The relevant question, as always, is how they will pitch going forward. Past performance is relevant only to the extent it is predictive of future performance. So what do you expect Santana and Medlen to pitch like in August and September? I'm curious.

Hudson's injury is forcing his hand.
