Hart may have to extend Fredi again when this team makes the playoffs in spite of Hart unloading everyone.

After spending more time reading about Gant and Whalen, Gant seems a bit better than I initially thought and Whalen a bit worse. Still pleased with the trade and it met my expectations for what we would get. Neither Gant nor Whalen will need to be added to the 40-man for Rule 5 purposes this Winter, so that helps. I firmly believe that we'll cut ties with CJ before Spring Training in 2016, so I'm envisioning this $2.7m paying down a little chunk of the $17.5m that he's owed after this year.
I think you want to be cautiously frugal with service time for some players but Peraza isn't one of them. For several reasons ... positional uncertainty and ceiling, namely.

what uncertainty? He should be a SS. Maybe a 2B. he's not anywhere else and his bat isn't so amazing you force him in somewhere.
The uncertainty borne out of the reality that there is no place for him in Atlanta at either of those positions?

I'm just trying to imagine the Braves giving up a top 20 prospect for a haul like this and the outrage we'd hear....

he's a baby. they have plenty of time. And peterson isn't set in stone. and they could trade him. and it's not like he's got a 850 ops.
Right. That's generally what we mean when we say uncertainty.

but not positional. He can't hit well enough to support anything much over SS
SS/2B/CF I'd say. CF would be a last resort.

Hope we get KJ back next year. However, I feel we can do better than Jaun strictly due to his age.

2 good players... one who the Dodgers gave away a couple months ago and the other we signed to a minor league deal who barely even made the roster. Both are well into their 30's.
Some of you are really overestimating their value.

It will be that good again when we have ownership that the stated goal is to win a championship.
I like KJ, and there's nothing stopping him from coming back again next year.
$2.7 million to pay Maitan.
Can I please have some of what you're smoking???
Brandon Nimmo for two months of Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson? Seriously???

The only way this trade makes sense is if it's a salary dump. We gave these guys away for nothing.
I understand KJ and Uribe didn't have much value but this is exactly the kind of haul I didn't want. I'd rather have one risky relief prospect than two soft tossing right handed starters who max out as long relief.
Honestly, we gave up better prospects to get international money.
Again I understand Uribe and Johnson didn't have great value but I think we got jobbed in this deal. It makes no sense to me except as a salary dump.
Money aside, you get more value keeping them, having that veteran influence and building confidence with wins than the value of two guys who profile as minor league roster fodder.
