Given how clueless they are with AA and how quiet things are, we have.
Braves like their infielders, week later they sign Donaldson.
I’m sure he’s not in the loop. Just saying what he’s reporting.

Not enough given up from the Braves. Because of various reasons Gohara has very little value. Tigers don’t need Inciarte during a rebuild and Jenista has little value as well.
Wilson , Wright and something else decent

Wilson and Wright would be an overpay. Jenista is mostly filler but Gohara still has decent value even if it’s on the lower side right now. Inciarte has quite a bit of control remaining as well and appears to be someone they have interest in. Wilson of course headlines our package.
MLB Trade Rumors says that the asking price for Stroman is near what the Pirates gave up for Archer last year. Talk about ridiculously high expectations. It would take a front office of epicly moronic proportions to trade equal value of Meadows, Glasnow, and Baz for just a year and a half for Stroman.
If this deadline turns in to overpay city, I really wouldn't want to shop in the upper tier. I'd rather just make a few buy low moves and mostly roll with what we have.
It's weird that the the Blue Jays apparently have some "resentment" toward AA for the way he left. They brought in Shapiro rather explicitly to put a leash on Anthopolous, and they're pissed that he didn't just go along with it?

I also think AA saw the opportunity to learn in LA under a powerhouse organization.
He mentions frequently the learning experience he had with Friedman and Zaidi in LAD and how it's helped him make better decisions from an analytics perspective. In a weird way it's good the Johns got cut off from running the team by McGuirk because it gave AA more leverage to run the club without interference from Homeboy Upstairs. McGuirk was looking for someone externally not connected to the Johns to right the ship and protect the assets and I think AA overall has done well with that.

As i'm sure everyone heard, Buster said on the broadcast if the Giants do become sellers. He thinks the Braves would become one of the more aggressive teams for MB, thinks they'll go for a difference maker at the deadline.
