Trade Deadline Day

Outside of Young and Lee, who would either team trade?

More specifically, who would the Nats trade? Laroche? Werth (no one would trade for him). Anyone else?

Agree Philly can't really trade much.

Nats, Span/ Storen.

I kinda liked it. Nats and Phillies are the same they were 24 hours ago. (overrated in spots - old in the other spots) - apparently thinking they either have a chance this year as they are or will massively rebuild over the winter.

Meaning to me the Braves own the East for at least two more years.

I can understand that approach for the Nats, but Young is simply taking ABs away from Asche with likely only a marginal upgrade in performance.
 
Phils dont have anyone anybody wants (Dom Brown -maybe) - and the Nats would have to blow up their team and start over. Which to my mind wouldn't be a bad idea.
And there they only have overrated Zimmerman and Desmond who is the only player they should keep. Harper???

Imagine Strasberg in pinstripes or Dodger blue! Except the Dodgers and Yankess dont have anything to offer like the Phillies
 
Actually I dont really mind there not being a lot of movement. Braves have one of the best teams and that doesnt look like it will change. No one competing with us got any better.

He has a no trade clause and only wants to go Red Sox/Yankees

I'm pretty sure he would have gone to Texas, as well, but regardless I'm still surprised he wasn't traded even with the constraints on destination.

The Nats are talented but they just cant handle the pressure. Everything was gold whenever everyone expected them to suck and they could sneak up on teams. Now with a ton of pressure, they havent been able to live up to expectations. Maybe it will be a different story next season bc the talent is clearly there, but I just dont see them being any better unless they really improve that bullpen.

I remember someone on here arguing with me that the Nats bullpen was better than the Braves. I said no way. We lost EOF and Venters and we are still clearly better.
