2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

[bravesfanMatt]

Wonder if Reed is a backup plan. He isn’t a lefty. But killing it in AAA. BAiP is extremely high though.

Matt Adams likely being traded to Cards and Cubs claimed Murphy. Deal is reportedly in the works for both.

Daniel Murphy has been traded to the Cubs....disappointing we let him slip through, but he didn't have a position except off the bench

It's getting to be about the time where the Braves have to make the Wilson-for-position-player swap on the 25 man roster.

If we see someone like Rio picked up from AAA we can probably close the book on Murphy. The good news is Murphy is almost certainly in DC right now, so he can be in Pitt quickly.

I bet the AAA guy who represents the contingency plan is already in Pitt just in case.

MLB network said Murphy was claimed by an unknown AL team.

Looks like the Nats are giving up, though. Harper being traded would be insane. Baseball is so much fun.

Cubs get Murphy.

I still wonder why they are holding the 40 man spot open. If they add Santana to call him up that will be disappointing.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Sucks more that those guys wouldn’t be in Washington for one more series.

MLB Network...always reliable.

Well that'd be wrong because he's going to the Cubs.

 

[Orphan Black]

Murphy to the Cubs

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

Always

Well that'd be wrong because he's going to the Cubs.

When I want accurate news and intelligent hot takes, MLB network is one of the last places I go...

 

[UNCBlue012]

Won't happen, but Harper to Oakland would be so much fun.

prospect Andruw monasterio is going to nats for murphy

 

[UNCBlue012]

Adams was traded for cash considerations... wtf

 

[UNCBlue012]

Herrera would be nice.

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Automation comes for all low skill jobs. Maybe Trump can save you guys like he saved the other folks being automated out of jobs by claiming he will stop them from being taken by immigrants.

Don’t worry bout me. I am headed to Texas to look for work building some wall.

Adams was traded for cash considerations... wtf

Well, the Cards had higher waiver priority than the Braves.

The Braves had higher priority than the Cubs, but they likely couldn't afford to take on Murphy's remaining $3M salary, so they couldn't risk claiming him. It's a little surprising to see the Braves constrained so tightly by payroll with attendance easily surpassing whatever their projections must have been.

It will be a little disappointing to see a AAA guy called up to replace Wilson today.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

There is no trade in place for Matt Adams, the Nats simply let the Cards take on the remainder of his salary
