I remember that year vividly. My wife took me to my first Braves game. We live in Arkansas, and our friends in Dallas invited us to visit them. The Braves were playing the Rangers at Arlington, and it was to be my first chance to watch Chipper Jones play. Our seats were along the third base line...

From what I read, there seem to be two opinions as to how the Braves should be operating. 1. Blow up the roster, stink for two years, and save enough money to buy a strong World Series-caliber team for 2017. 2. Do what we can to field a playoff-caliber team in 2015. These two are not mutually...

I don't want Cespedes, but I don't mind trading Minor in the right deal. Maybe we could pry Mookie Betts away from the BoSawx?

Markakis had a small herniated disk in his neck and missed two weeks in 2013. http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/9044153/nick-markakis-baltimore-orioles-sidelined-another-week?ex_cid=espnapi_public

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'll ask anyway. With Detroit interested in trading David Price, can anyone see a scenario whereby Atlanta could move both of the Upton brothers and make room to add Price to our rotation? I don't see how it could be possible, but imagine a...

I see what you did there.

The A's and Braves have 8 minutes to make a trade, and then I am going to bed. Come on guys, get this thing done!

One tweet I read suggested a three-team deal. Carlos Gonzalez to the Braves Jeff Samardzija to the Rockies Justin Upton to the A's. While a three-team deal is possible, how does that make sense for ANY of those teams? You have to love Hot Stove rumors.

It's sad. I've got Twitter and MLB Trade Rumors both open while checking in here in Chop Country. It was so bad I had to go look up my password for this site. It's been that long since I've posted!

I wish the trade would go down already. I am ready to go to bed but I know that as soon as I do, the trade will happen! :)

You're right. We were linked to him last season.

The Betts kid sounds like the real deal, but would Boston part with him? Pedroia, Bogarts, and Middlebrooks man 2B, SS, and 3B right now, but is Boston satisfied with them? Another option is Texas. They have a real need for pitching right now, after losing Harrison and Perez. Do they have a 2B...

I know BJ strikes out WAYY too much, but on two of his strikeouts tonight, the 3rd strike was clearly outside according to Fox Trax. It seems like at least once per game, BJ gets out on a called 3rd strike that was not a strike. I would be interested to see a leaderboard on called strikeouts...

Freddie Freeman: 2 years/$12 million Do this deal Frank and Freddie, and Chipper will throw in free towing service for winter storms!

Sounds good-time to get our chop on!

Any idea on first pitch time?

Interested in Josh Johnson? What would we give up to take him on for the rest of the season? Here's a suggestion-who hangs up first? Braves get Johnson and Bonifacio (if he clears waivers) but have to pay the rest of Johnson's 2013 salary (about $4 million) Jays get Todd Cunningham Before I...

I love it...maybe there's something wrong with me, but I love it. Turn Washington, D.C. into a AA Mariners affiliate. Make Philadelphia the Rookie League club for the Houston Astros. :)

Regardless of what some kid outfielder for a sub-.500 team says, the Braves need to step on the necks of the Philthies and Gnats these next few days. Give them no hope at all on the road trip, and then take their manhood when they go to Atlanta. We don't need the Braves thinking, "Hey, all we...

I would support it if the discussion was last year and we could get Chipper to play 2-3 more years. That guy could hit in a wheelchair! Seriously, I'm a younger guy (I'm 32) but I am a purist. Leave the DH out of the NL, and while you're at it, stop this stupid home field advantage thing for...
