You mentioned getting Yelich AND Archer though - not just Yelich.
Those are arguably the two best contracts in baseball, and would cost an absolute ton.

You wonder if it was a pass or the Padres came out so quickly and asked for so little in return that it was no brainer for the Yankees.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the Padres flip Headley because he really makes no sense for them.

We can get him for less money, imo. Aren't the Padres wanting to trade him now? I personally would rather just throw Camargo over at third.

Yelich is a piece that could rapidly accelerate the rebuild. If we get some growth from Dansby and Albies and can hit on a young pitcher or two, all of sudden we have a window opening in 2019. Even the 2018 season is much more interesting with Yelich manning an outfield spot.

I'd tune in more if he were in the OF this year.
You guys are on it.
Headley is exactly what the Braves should have been looking to acquire if the goal was to get a 1 year guy without giving up prospects.
SD may trade him again, so he might still be an option.
However, AA seems to contradict himself every other sentence. In this case, if the Braves really wanted a 1 year guy at 3B they would have Headley...actions speak louder than words.

On my phone, so no link, but DOB just tweeted that the Braves are likely interested in Headley.
Slashing payroll to buy Yelich from the Marlins is a solid move if that's what's going on.
As Russ pointed out, there are many scenarios involving Chen, Prado, Tazawa, and Volquez that could lower the price on Yelich enough that it doesn't impact the farm too much. The Braves are so bad at so many positions that they could find playing time for all those guys, which can't be said for many other teams looking to acquire Yelich. If the Marlins truly are lowering payroll to $55M, dumping all those guys on the Braves might be extremely attractive.
Saw this on a twitter feed

Recycling the rumored interest from 2-3 years ago. Then a year from now he'll be tweeting about Lucroy again.
Nsacpi was calling Ozuna to the Cards from the very beginning.

Yeah, good call. It makes a lot of sense as well. Another tweet said they're look at Longoria/Cobb as well. T
Add Longoria AND Ozuna to that lineup and they're in the heat of things.
They're listening on him according to a report on XM.
