Mayo Joins The List...

Justin Upton trade keeps on giving and giving.

It would be fun to rehash the reaction to both the Upton and Heyward deals. But that's just the inner troll in me.

What reaction is that? Braves miscalculated on their contention time table at the start of the tear down and were bailed out by the Diamondbacks in an unbelievable way.

So now we are going to put an asterisk on the braves rebuild so those complaining how awful the front office was don't end up being wrong?

If you want to, sure. Do you think their initial plan was correct or that they should have opted for a longer term plan instead? If you are going to rebuild then rebuild and not this half and half crap that they tried to keep some fan interest heading into the new stadium. I feel like Markakis and BJ deals were part of this. So was the HO deal.
 
Exactly how in the *ell did this thread turn into the same *issing match most of them do that quickly???

Yes the Oliver deal sucked initially. They maDE a mistake. Every single gm in the history of sports has done the same.
 
The Braves certainly have no shortage of guys that could develop into TOR guys. Banking on pitching prospects is far riskier than banking on position prospects, and hopefully Some of those pitchers start progressing soon.

Why does that make any difference? The point is that every thread turns into the same useless *hit - this one just happened to before anyone mentioned Fried other than in the original post.

It did suck. And it wasn't just that the move was a mistake but going for an established player was a mistake, imo. Wood should of netted a nice prospect instead of wasting it on the supposed surplus value of HO.
