Houston's top prospects. I would honestly take multiple of any of their top 16 prospects. For Julio, I would want at least 3 of their top 10 and for Julio/Viz, I would want 4 of their top 15.

@JonHeyman
braves reached out to brewers about ryan braun before making kemp deal. would have loved braun. didnt get very far.

Viz is going nowhere right now because of the injury. No one is going to give up this type of package while he's injured. He'll still be available in the offseason.

We need to deal our entire pen while the price is insane.

I'm not so sure about that.

 

[Heyward]

I'm not so sure about that.

teams wont deal for him in the offseason?

Wasn't Justus Sheffield in the proposed Jonathon Lucroy deal? Now he's a Yankee, but the CLE/MIL deal isn't dead yet?

I wouldn't trade him in the offseason unless the haul is unbelievable. Let em close to start '17 and if we falter, trade him at deadline

 

[Tapate50]

I meant that teams wouldn't necessarily wrote him off bc the injury. It wasn't serious.

Could be a Cubs-like maneuver to give Brian Matusz starting audition on Sunday Night Baseball this evening, then flip him in thin P market.

Bowman: The Braves have discussed trading for Brian McCann. It depends on how much money the Yankees are willing to eat.

Frazier for Miller? Wow!

That's a high price folks. Anyone in our pen should be available.

Extreme overpay by the Tribe.

I want Mac.

Are we sure that it's not how much Bowman is willing to eat?

At that cost, this would be a very good move for ATL. I doubt he would come that cheap though.

Why do we need them to pay it down? Give Mac the money for two years but don't give up anything good for him. He is not worth anyone in our top 10-15.

Yup. That's the approach I would take. Also worth considering is Markakis for Mac.

Rosenthal saying Lucroy deal could be falling apart. Just speculation on why it hasn't been made official yet... no trade clause may be an issue for Lucroy, maybe he hates Cleveland.

Have you been to that dump before? Can't blame him if that's the case haha.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

McCann is pretty bad now. Why would the Braves want anything to do with him?

 

[Ozzie Swanson]

Still pretty solid defensively, good mentor for the young pitchers, clubhouse leader, and makes sense as a platoon partner with Flowers. Also the contract would be fewer years than if they went out and signed Wieters/Ramos/Castro this offseason.
