Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

[Carp]

Hoping for a small miracle. Like may be the Braves are stringing the Dodgers along only to pull Wood out at the last second and leave quite a mess in the Dodgers faces.

 

[BRule]

Braves didn't trade their top prospect in this deal.

Lol

I like Jose Peraza for what he is, but you're getting way more impact in Hector Olivera's bat. Would be a strong upgrade for Atlanta.

Its possible that this is the case. Its also possible that Wood has another TJ surgery in the next 2 years and his caerer is over. I was all about trading Wood since the start of the season.

Hopefully Olivera can save the Braves from having a worse offense than last year

 

[jpx7]

This is pretty donked.

So according to Gurnick, we are getting 34th pick without having to take on Morse, who is owed $7m this year and $8m next year. That helps . . . a little.

Then we gave up Peraza too. And a closer/Set up man.

I would do Wood for Oliveira right now. Especially factoring in rebuilding team

Wow. Serves me right for unplugging for an evening. Carry on, gents.

Yes Olivera is a strong upgrade over Peraza offensively. But then you factor in defense and position. And then losing out on Wood entering his prime.

I mean this is the greatest trade deadline in the history of baseball. Shoe Wii.

 

[atl717]

The two most valuable players in the trade are Wood and Peraza. This is very embarrassing for Hart.

 

[keithlaw]

Wood has seen a pretty steady decline in his fastball velocity since he came up. His velocity chart is eerily similar to Hanson's before he fell apart.

The scariest part is John Fart has two more days to go.

That upgrade is not even close to being worth Alex Wood. That is the problem. Especially since we could have just paid $30 million to have Olivera without giving up a thing.

There better be more in the deal or else there is no defending it from the Braves' perspective.

Is it an upgrade?? Olivera is 30. We aren't competing this year or next. Why take a 30 year old as the headliner for Wood our top 21 year old prospect?

 

[striker42]

If we weren't trading Peraza, this deal wouldn't look terrible. With Peraza its a friggin joke. This reads like some dodger homer posting a dream trade.

What the Fck is that thing?

 

[bravesnumberone]

Lol, cheating the system.

 

[weso1]

It's the age that bothers me. It's very high risk. He could fall off a cliff.
