A reporter puts a rumor out there and folks get mad at Hart? Lighten up, Francis. One possibility is that Hart is floating it to make Justin's value go up a bit. Don't worry...be happy.

I read a lot about how the Braves have freed up money in the Heyward deal but nothing is ever mentioned about losing Santana's salary. I know we weren't obligated to it for 2015, but it is off the books.

When did you do that survey? I liked the trade.

I realize that. Just making a point. You figure to lose Justin in a year anyway. You would be giving Minor away to get rid of BJ. But, in reality, we should get something for them. I wonder if Texas would bite since they are looking for pitching as well?

It's crazy, but it's almost worth giving those 3 up for a bag of balls and you would be ahead of the game. You lose Minor but look at the money you have to sign some guys. So, I would be up for most any deal involving those 3.

I live 8 miles from Coolray Field and can't wait to see this kid pitch.

Upton Brothers for Andrus for 3rd and a couple of minor leaguers.

Again, it's like complaining about the first move in a checker game. It was the first move. It's not even Thanksgiving. He has built teams before.

It's like complaining about the first move in a game of checkers. Let the man do his job and save your complaining for when the season begins.

If we are not going to seriously compete for 2 years, we should trade Kimbrel as well while his value is at it's peak. But, I think we can compete with this pitching staff and the pieces we have. We need contact hitters to scratch out runs. Strike out players who hit home runs aren't gonna win...

Some people choose to be fans of the name on the back of the jersey. That's fine! No law against that. I cried when we traded Tony Cloninger. Of course, I was pretty young. I hated it when we traded Rico Carty too. But, in my older years, I choose to be a fan for the name on the front of the...

Bruce, Cueto, Phillips, Burgeois for Upton Brothers, Gattis and Minor.

We freed up 11M from Heyward and Walden and 14M from Santana.....so far. Sign Lester!!

I get that but did you compare their numbers?

Money aside, I would think he would love being in the NL. Atlanta is going to be a better pitcher's park than Wrigley. You never know which way the wind blows there. And, as has been mentioned, he lives in Atlanta. The new park would be pretty exciting too. I really think that if we are going to...

I was in the 9th grade when the Braves traded my 1st favorite player, Joe Torre, to the Cardinals for Orlando Cepeda.

Unless they're moving Upton/Gattis for some legit hitters. You know....the ones who don't strike out so much? Yeah, those guys.

Torii Hunter could be a cheap solution for a year or two. Compare his offense with Heyward's. Then again, he may not be that cheap. :)

Post a YouTube of that.

Nope....didn't say they would. I'm saying that the process for building the minor leagues has begun. Picking up Jenkins is also a part of that. Again, it will take time to get the minors filled up. In the mean time, maybe we can deal Justin for a couple of hitters and maybe even Gattis.
