Salcedo traded to Pitt

[Braves1976]

Potential AAA OFs as it stands today...

1.) Toscano

2.) Perez

3.) Cunningham

4.) Terdoslavich

We just sent Constanza back after he cleared waivers, and you could see Elander bucking for a promotion if he gets back on track. No need to have Salcedo wasting ABs at Gwinnett, he's proven he's not going to cut it at this point, and all 6 of those guys stand a much better chance of providing some help at the MLB level at some point than Edward.

Since it's a lost season, maybe they do actually decide to placate the fanbase and sign Andruw and keep Perez percolating at Gwinnett to see if they've found a diamond in the rough.

The return is pretty blah, but I don't see any reason to turn away another arm if someone else's scouts saw something they thought they could fix.

Perez is out of options, plus if he cleared waivers he could elect free agency rather than accept being outrighted to AAA (same as Pena did basically). So while possible I wouldn't say it's likely he goes to Gwinnett.

@mlbbowman: Had Salcedo remained with the Braves, there was reason to wonder if there would have been a spot for him on Gwinnett's roster.

My god. Every. ****ing. Time.

And every time he goes trollin', there's an all you can eat fish dinner shortly thereafter.

There's as much chance he'd accept the offer to spend the first part of the season there - where is he going to get a better shot at MLB playing time than camping out behind B. J.? If Seitzer's somehow able to work some magic with Upton, he'll be dealt the second someone shows interest. If he's still a black hole in the lineup 6 weeks in, they very well may give him the Uggla treatment.

The point remains the same, Salcedo had nothing left to offer here - better to get SOMETHING for him if someone bit instead of releasing him.
