    Johnny Venters traded to Braves

    Hot long does it take Snitker to realize Venters is in the bullpen?

    Johnny Venters traded to Braves

    Venters was destroyed with the Rays stupidly started him for one game. Remove that and his numbers look even better.

    At least we have lots of prospects who are fun to talk about

    GDT 7/26 Dodgers

    Maybe the plan is to get swept this weekend and sell before the deadline

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Poor Billy McKinney will drop 50 spots in the rankings with his move from NY Yankees to Toronto.

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Jeff Passan ✔ @JeffPassan Sources: The Washington Nationals have started discussions with teams to gauge interest if they decide to sell. Of particular interest are Kelvin Herrera, Shawn Kelley and Ryan Madson, three free-agent-to-be relievers. Nats are telling teams they’ll know by end of...

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Wall is just a dude. Spandberger has been a riser. Someone I was surprised to see go for Oh. Rockies are relatively deep with lower level 1b prospects though.

    Bluejays got Spandberger for Oh. That's a pretty good deal for the Jays

    Stras to the DL. If they post a clunker in Miami this weekend, could the Nats sell? Stranger things have happened...

    Prospects 1500 - Atlanta Braves Top 50

    This appears to be a fantasy site. Rankings are probably intended to be by potential fantasy value. Still, not the first or second I’ve seen to drop gohara. The shoulder injury has done little to scare people from soroka.

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Jones seems washed up now... Jon Heyman of Fancred reports that the Phillies have shown interest in Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. Philly's biggest holes are on the left side of the infield and in the bullpen, but a right-handed-hitting addition to the outfield mix would make some sense too...

    This is exactly what I'm saying. ...or trying to say.

    2018 Trade Deadline ROSTERBATION

    Value is relative to what someone is willing to give up. If I have a baseball card that Beckett says is $100, but the highest bid I have is $50, is the card really worth $100 or $50? If the Tigers only have the Braves and some other team asking about Castellanos and they don't like the...

    You’re a sharp poster. All I’m saying is there are circumstances where teams are better off waiting until the offseason

    Is he worth more to a buyer? Yes That doesn’t mean a team is going to lower their price in a few days or the offseason. They can wait until there’s more demand in the offseason from other teams not interested at the moment. Maybe that’s difficult for some folks to understand. Haha

    My experience with negotiating, bids, auctions, is that it's best to be the guy in the middle. You don't want to be the one opening the bid to set the baseline nor do you want to be the guy budding at the last minute in desperation.

    Tell that to the Padres or White Sox. Teams who have the player under control have little incentive to deal him. Braves have no leverage unless they come in and blow a team away.
