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

Remember guys. MLB's future is contact and speed. That means we just traded a future HOFer in Peraza. Surprised thethe isn't mad about him being traded

 

[bravesnumberone]

This is the part where Hart goes ahead and retires and hands over the reigns, correct?

 

[gilesfan]

And Im not big on Peraza and leas so when factoring in the nimver of speedsters in system but hes rates as a top 50 and has value

How is Oliveiras defense?

 

[thethe]

but Heyward was one year.....this is 3 years of Alex Wood. We did not have to trade him. In the offseason you have more bidders.

I could see the logic in this. Braves obviously have some big time wood for Olivera. Thats the guy they clearly wanted.

 

[jpx7]

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

 

[Dalyn]

why are we adding a 30 year old player(who's injured) in a rebuilding year?

Because this is the Mukaki Rebuild.

Can't wait to see Peraza get trashed by the company men here.

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.

Because he's some proven player? He's 30, has a bad elbow and never had an AB in the bigs.....oh, and he's owed 40 mil from us.

 

[atl717]

Wood might get hurt. Lets trade him for Phil Gosselin who may play longer.

 

[Heyward]

He's 21, almost major league ready, plays a premium position, and can fly. Again, I wouldn't trade Wood alone for that package. Adding in Peraza is absurd.

There was no need to give up Peraza, use him in a seperate deal if they want to trade him.

Well...this sucks.

Hes yet to get up the cliff

Its really annoying that I keep getting singled out. So what, I typically will always like the moves that are made.

I would have loved to see Peraza up but this was the chance to get someone that could be an impact bat. That is what everyone has wanted and yet everyone is upset.

Pitching is so supposed to be devalued now and everyone seemingly expects to get a kings ransom for Wood when many in the industry worry about his mechanics.

@Ken_Rosenthal: Three-team deal involving #Braves, #Marlins, #Dodgers also not fully completed. ATL telling some of players involved not done.

 

[Hawk]

I don't hate the deal. I'm somewhere between "dislike" and "disappointed."

Yeah, I actually really like the premise of Olivera as a cheap 3B option for the considerable future. Leaves a lot of room to spend. But, at a great cost in proven talent.

My worry is that Hector is more on the brittle side.

What was once good now is not. Bravesitis at it's finest.

 

[DirkPiggler]

This is our comeuppance for making fun of Lucille Stewart and the D-Backs for the Touki trade. The other shoe dropped right on our heads.

For panicky Braves fans: Most in the industry no longer see Peraza as Braves' best prospect. Should be solid, is young, but far from elite.

No ... WE'RE NOT PANICKING HERE AT ALL, JEFF.

Where is the part where Olivera is anywhere close to similar value for Wood?
