Trades/acquisitions

[msstate7]

Bring up waters now for CF. Usually our guys hit for a while before pitchers figure em out. Maybe he can give us a hot month and a half or so

Trevor Story stays with Rockies. He will get the qualifying offer, and Rockies will get a draft pick

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Should’ve sold.

yeah.. I am just not a fan of staying pat.. if we weren't selling then make a splash somehow, someway. but the correct move was to sell some pieces off for something.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Mets and Phillies didn't really do anything to separate imo. This is based on an assumption we getting TDA, Anderson, and ynoa back soon

I don't know. I think the Phillies got a lot better today while the Braves only marginally got better.

 

[UNCBlue012]

DOB just said the team apparently didn't trade for any BP pieces

 

[zbhargrove]

Its very perplexing that we didn't add a single arm

 

[50PoundHead]

The bullpen has been shaky and I did expect a body or two joining that motley outfit, but offense has been deceptive all year. I don't know if Duvall and Rosario do much to improve it. Duvall gets Almonte out of the OF, so that's a plus defensively.

I haven't been promoting it, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Waters called up. Big off-season decisions ahead with contract options to consider and it would probably be good to get a better handle on what he can do at the major league level. He has to go on the 40-man over the winter anyway and I think it has struck midnight for Heredia. But while I say that, hats off to Guillermo. He wasn't built for this, but he's given every ounce.

Looks like they wanted to with Gallo but didn't want to top the Yankees offer

Frankly I'm surprised #Braves didn't trade for some bullpen help. Lot of relievers moved today, and prices weren't outrageous on quite a few.


Wow. DoB dogging on AA a little bit. This is strange

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Another thing to add:

The Braves face 3 of the better starting pitchers the next 3 games. How are we going to view today if the Braves are 51-55 entering August 2nd?

 

[50PoundHead]

Bryant to #SFGiants for Bart and Wade Jr.

Cubs got Bart for a rental?!? Well done Hoyer.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

Lester to Cardinals

 

[WaitingFor2017]

If the Cubs want to plug Joey Bart into catcher next year, then Willson Contreras is expendable. How about a Contreras/Contreras backstop next year?

 

[bravesfanMatt]

so is it ok to start questioning AA??

I mean not selling but also not adding a single arm for the stretch run.. really??

 

[Carp]

Bryant to #SFGiants for Bart and Wade Jr.

Holy forking shirt balls. What in the ever loving hell are the Giants doing?

Yeah, that could happen. I'm pretty sure no one here thought we'd get thru TB, SD, at Philly, and at Mets while losing 0 ground though

 

[zbhargrove]

No its been reported that wasn't true... although he did go to San Fran for two much lesser prospects

Cubs receive OF Alexander Canario (No. 9 SF prospect per
@MLBPipeline
) and RHP Caleb Killian (No. 30) from the Giants for Kris Bryant, per source.

 

[Hudson2]

I expected a couple of bullpen arms to be honest. I know AA is fun shy about trades after the Blue Jays days but if he’s ever gonna win anything he will eventually have to pop on something.

Bart isn't going to the Cubs
