With the way the offseason is going, see any chance -or desire- that the Braves take a chance on Joey Bats or Cargo on a 1-2 year deal? Guess you could throw Gomez in that mix but really thinking about power hitting OF type.

I agree, it's a small price to pay that could have large implications in the future

Gotcha, so you have a problem with the whole "file and trial" exercise.

To me, this deal is dependent on Musgrove becoming a viable #2/#3 SP for Pitt to have gained fair value. Not high on Moran.

That gap may not have been 100k before they submitted. Could have been 800k and then the submitted figures were at that 100k number.

I could be wrong about this but, I believe the $ amount which is referred to as "filed" is a number the said party ended on, and not necessarily what was being discussed and countered. To help clear my statement up i'll create a fictitious dialog between team and player/agent... Numbers first...

Reason I said Frazier, I assume NYY prefers Florial over Frazier but if given the choice between the two, believe I'd take Florial.

How much more would need to be added to get Frazier? NYY could use another piece in rotation.

Ramos is intriguing.. don't know if his hit tool is as good as Acuna but he's definitely got 5-tool potential.

Had a dream and when I woke up I had to do a double take and make sure it REALLY was a dream... Here it was... Move #1 Braves traded Ender Inciarte, Kyle Muller, Lucas Sims and Aaron Blair to Miami for Christian Yelich and Drew Steckenrider Move #2 (this was where it got crazy) Braves...

Wonder if Jayson Werth could make some sense as another OF option or "stopgap" type of guy.

Would Julio and Muller be enough for Frazier? Would we need to add someone like Sanchez or Viz?

Kemp can't play defense, if nothing offensively, Gordon gives you a plus defender in LF, making your outfield PLUS defense at all three spots. Like I said, just an outside the box proposal. I understand the reasons why NOT and can agree with them but just think this could be an outside way to...

I guess I believe the last two years for Gordon are the anomaly. Just look at his previous years OPS+ 2011: 140 OPS+ 2012: 123 OPS+ 2013: 103 OPS+ 2014: 118 OPS+ 2015: 119 OPS+

This is what I had in mind as well. Just a curious question for you guys.. KC was rumored to be interested in Markakis last year, and currently could use a DH. Now what I'm about to suggest is solely based on the opinion that said player can bounce back to prior form. Atlanta trades Kemp and...

I'm not disagreeing with you. You give such good points on this board but anytime someone has a different opinion or view other than the one you feel is right, you attack them and become defensive. There's always going to be multiple opinions (that's what makes a discussion) so just because...

Not sure how many games off the top of my head, but I feel like he played the majority of his time in the OF a position I don't believe he had previously played prior to playing it at the major league level. Just something to consider.

105 OPS+ is above average with a nice OBP and above average power, with above average defense

I like Frazier for 3B as you should be able to get him on a 2/3 year deal which shouldn't block Riley and would/should be easy to move if Riley shows he's ready sooner. A possible lineup that looks like this wouldn't be the worst thing... (Assuming both Markakis and Kemp aren't traded and Acuna...

I've thought about Joc as well... he's currently stuck as a 4th OF in LA behind Puig/Taylor/Hernandez and eventually Verdugo. He could give us another LHH with pop who's capable of playing all three OF positions.
