Official 2017 Trade Deadilne Thread

We have been linked to Gray. We've been scouting his starts according to an A's beat writer, and DOB has said we've considered him.

From a number of rumored returns, I really believe an Anderson and Pache or Anderson/Pache/Wisler or Blair would get it done. That would not be a mistake.

Spinning Wisler and Blair for any quality MLB player is a win.

Legit question. Are any of the awesome prospects we got in any of those trades helping this team?

Newcombe has and I suspect will be the biggest contributor to the big league team. Gohara likely ends up as a legit reliever which will be useful as well but that's a few years away.

Simmons, Wood, and Mallex have been worth 6 fWAR to 10.5 bWAR better than Colon/Newk, Swanson, and Kemp.

That would certainly put the team within striking distance of a struggling Rockies and DBacks teams.

High end of that puts the Braves in a WC slot right now.

More proof this is not an above average FO.

Not sure about him being a reliever or being a few years away. He's already doing well in AA, he's greatly improved his control, and is a lefty who throws upper 90s heat who now has a third pitch that is developing. I still think he's our highest ceiling SP prospect (that may change quickly with Wright).

The last I heard, his fastball and slider are a wicked combo, and his change up was rapidly improving with fantastic arm deception.

Simmons and Wood certainly change alot, not sure Mallex does, him for Gohara was good for both sides.

Susan Slusser reported that there were scouts from five teams at Gray's start last night. We weren't mentioned as one of them.

Twins are reported to be considering trading for Gray. I don't know what kind of package they could put together for him.

Lol are we really going to blabber about the Braves signing someone like Harper or Machado again?

How many times are you going to say the same incorrect thing about the same fantasy scenario?

It's literally the exact same foolish statement over and over and over.

I think there's a less than 5 % chance we sign either, but I'm definitely not gonna get my panties all in a wad over it. You need to check your emotions at the door. Nobody cares what you think no matter how much you think you are somehow significant. Pop a xanax and get off line for an hour or so.

It's pretty obvious you care what I think.
 
Bowman: The Braves have a top scout in Detroit this weekend. Verlander last night and Fulmer tonight. They'll continue to look for starting pitchers

Good lord if Verlander. I can live with Fulmer, but I'm still a part of the camp of keeping Ozzie and rolling with what we have. Just get rid of Adams, Phillips, Garcia, and maybe Suzuki (see what you can get).
 
With his control and stats, Fulmer is one of the only pitchers I'd be more than comfortable trading Albies in a package for.
 
Has to be Verlander. Would be a pretty low cost in prospects. Would be a big name to please the casual fans. Would be majorly overpriced for the production he provides.

Seems like a perfect move for this FO to make honestly.
 
Hard not to be excited about the potential of Fulmer. However, I have to imagine he'd command a return centered around Acuna plus. Can't do that. If you can somehow pull off a miracle and get him without giving up Acuna, Albies, or Maitan... I guess go for it. If it happened I would assume Teheran would be traded. I'm willing to give up Swanson and Allard in a package for Fuller.
