Trades/acquisitions

[Dalyn]

And the start working on Riley’s.

Normally I would say that we shouldn't sign someone having a career year, but Riley strikes me as someone with a low opinion of themselves, so I'm guessing we could still get a cheap deal done.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Even if none of these deals amount to anything, I think AA might be a pretty good GM after all.

Disappointed we couldn’t have topped that Giants package for Bryant but oh well. A successful day overall.

You just can't be upset with how this went down. We will be getting competitive September and hopefully October baseball.

 

[Hudson2]

Snit has a ton of options now for different matchups and that will ply hell for opposing managers. AA hopefully has a leash on Snit when he doesn’t follow instructions.

 

[SJ24]

I wonder what our lineup looks like tonight.

Whatever it takes.

 

[Jaw]

He didn't hurt the farm system much, grabbed a quality reliever, and upgraded the OF with a chance to hit it big there.

I still think he should have been a seller, but Anthopoulos at least made it interesting.

I will give him props today. He did a lot of good work IMO.. I didn't want to sell the farm, but I did want at least a splash. getting a quality BP arm for 2 years after this is the biggest win.

You know traded players can't teleport yet, right?

 

[Enscheff]

For those of you angry about the HR-or-bust nature of this offense....you ain't seen nothing yet!

Likely what we are used to. I doubt anyone will make it before game time.

But the Braves definitely have to moves to make.

 

[CyYoung31]

The thing that sticks out about R-Rod is that he walks virtually no one.

Duvall theoretically could show up during the game and be available off the bench.

 

[thethe]

Soler, I think he could end up being a big time get

He would be out there at least 80% of the time if I were making the decisions. His splits this year looks to be small sample noise.

 

[Carp]

If we weren't going to sell, this was the next best course of action. Make several smaller trades without giving up much and hope that guys coming back from the IL are enough to close the gap.

I feel comfortable in saying this is an above .500 club going forward now.

 

[Enscheff]

This offense is going to average 4 HRs and 4.5 runs per game!

 

[chop2chip]

Soler is the next chapter in AA’s lust for underachieving high exit velocity sluggers.

 

[Hudson2]

AA gave up nothing of importance and improved the team. Cant be mad at him.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

I'm surprised no one beat our offer for Rodriguez. Damn he was a steal

Ha. Maybe AA thinks its inevitable that the odds will play in our favor that at least one or two players from the Island of Misfit Toys will be on a hot streak at any given time such that you never have all boom or bust.
