Official 2017 Trade Deadilne Thread

I know the Braves have a huge boner for Q and Archer but with how Acuna and Albies have performed lately and how Maitain has been a 3 or 4 year investment as far as recruiting him goes, I just don't see any way they trade any of them. A package of Anderson, Soroka/Allard, and another pice should be enough.
 
Can't help but believe all the trade talk has affected Quintana this year. That and schlubby rotating catchers

We can only hope. Just don't see how that gets it done. Definitely don't think the Sox want to wait much longer regardless. Can't imagine Archer's in play at this point unless at least one of them is involved. Gotta figure they're ready to move Robertson to the Gnats even if they're not going to get everything they want - they've been lucky that neither has gotten hurt during the first half IMO.
 
The Rays would be in the playoffs if the season ended today. Zero chance they deal Archer unless we offer half our farm system for him
 
Other than Robert, Chicago's top 8 prospects are all but ready to drop. Allard would certainly make sense as one piece to help stagger service-time.
 
Question....

Braves get Sonny Gray and Sean Doolittle

A's get Anderson, Gohara, Demeritte and Sims or Wisler.

That's enough??

Hmmmm.....why would the Braves trade away that much for a #3 starter?? Gotta get an ace if they trade high end prospects.

Just asking who is considered a Ace for you? Because Sonny Gray and Quintana they are not Ace. Maybe Archer...

I don't think any of these guys are aces.

Sale is an ace. Kershaw is an ace. Bumgarner is an ace. Syndergard is an ace. Folty is a .......(had to do it).

Yes and what should take to get those players? Is basically 3 of our best prospects minimum. The trade i proposed for Sonny Gray have a few prospects but not even our best.
 
Wonder how badly the Cubs want to dump Heywards contract. I'm not a big Heyward fan but I think he can regain some of what he lost if he can get out of Chicago. I would offer the Cubs Kemp, Wisler, and Sims for Heyward and the Cubs pay about 50 percent of his salary after he declines his opt outs.

The Cubs would save at least 10 mil a year.

Markakis could play LF until Acuna is ready then become the 4th OF.

I think any pitcher that can post a 5+ WAR season somewhat regularly is an ace.

Yeah Archer isn't going anywhere at the all-star break unless some team gets really really stupid. He's a big candidate to be traded in the off season though.

The other points are more than valid, though. Trading 3-4 prospects—especially if one of them is Albies (or Acuña)—for Quintana is terrible risk-management. One of the few really appealing arguments for a pitching-centric rebuild, to me, was amortizing the risk: sure pitching at any point, at any level—and especially minor-league pitching prospects—are risky assets; but, obtain enough good ones, and the risk is spread out. Now we want to reverse that logic, put multiple eggs in one twenty-eight-year old, high-mileage basket—and potentially pay for it with the organization's best (as of now) position prospect (who is a much less risky asset, given he's not a pitcher and he's performing quite well in AAA).

It just doesn't make any sense; and it tells me, moreover, that a lot of posters who moaned about the last good, if underachieving, Braves team—who clamored for and absolutely lauded the first steps of the rebuild—don't actually have the stomach for rebuilding right.

Quintana is a good major league pitcher right now. Odds are none of the prospects will be as good. Prospects are much riskier and much further away.

You would never say "I'd rather have three 1b prospects than Freddie freeman for the next five years."

*i say this not particularly being enthused about trading for Quintana.
