2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

Source: #Braves sending Encarnacion, Cumberland, Phillips and Zimmerman to #Orioles for Gausman and Darren O’Day.

DAAAMMMMNNNN!!!

Incredible pull by AA. I would have given up any 2 of those guys for Hamels, Odorizzi, Gio types of rentals. The fact that he got a solid pitcher with control is amazing.
 
JCE is the only piece of that makes me even wince.

Feel like fangraphs has Cumberland as a near top 100 guy. Or just Kiley?

So that could be something, but that’s just fine.

Encarnacion may come back to haunt us, but I coudl care less about the others.
 
suddenly less excited

still a good trade

My feelings too. Forgot O'Day was done for the year.

Not concerned over any of the prospects given away. They are all 2+ years away (aside from Phillips who isn't a prospect) and have lots of questions.

Really interested to see what Enscheff has to say... I don't see how anyone could view this as anything other than an unequivocal win for us. We need to trade with the Orioles more often lol

Basically, out goes some crap, organization filler...not completely useless pieces but not much value. Got back some bargain pieces that provide very specific value, the best 3 of whom will also be able to help us out next year and beyond.

Pretty good work, and about what I wanted to see. Didn't want to give up anything of real consequence but did want to try to add some pieces in case we're able to sustain this playoff run. Well done, AA.

With all due respect to the players we traded away, AA managed to turn chichen scheisse into chicken salad. That's a pretty nifty trick.

Btw Venters has one more year of arbitration.
