2025 Trade Deadline Thread

Can anyone point me to a successful major league hitter who had strikeout rates similar to Carson's in the minors? Not trying to be snarky, I just genuinely can't think of anyone.
He's got the power, speed, arm, and glove the k rate is high though just looked
 
What's his rate? Eley de la Cruz had a big k rate in milb
Oh yeah de la Cruz was pretty close, Williams is slightly worse at 31.4%. Big difference is Williams is a .249 career hitter in the minors and de la Cruz batted around .300 most years.

Feel like that's the profile of a guy who's likely not going to hit at all in the majors, but he does have enough power that he wouldn't need to hit much.

His defense is legit and has a cannon to. He already has 16 stolen bases and 15 homers to boot
 

According to this, no one under control for next season will be moved

I'll believe it when I see it. You wouldn't telegraph your intentions anyways since you lose negotiating power when you do.

It would be dumb to sit on Murphy with so many contenders in need of an upgrade at catcher and with Murphy getting hot.

This reminds me of my other pro team, the saints. When it was obvious that the decline was at hand whether it be performance or constant injuries, they didn't shake it up. In fact, they double and tripled down until it had to be completely blown up. AA is making the same mistake. I hope the braves aren't as loyal to AA as the saints are to Loomis.
