Montgomery checks a lot of Braves boxes, just a matter of whether some dumb team pays him for in line with just his heroics.

If those guys get hurt then Lugo or Cease isn't really going to fix it.

You aren't necessarily concerned with depth I do t think if you are concerned. Sounds more like you are concerned about strength at the 3/4.

Fairly low risk that the Dodgers have solvency issues to begin with.

Not sure you should trade anyone that might project to be a top three starter from the minors if you're the Braves.

Pacific League though ?

Heyward for one had a far below average wRC+ with platoon advantage 2/3 years which seems pretty unplayable to me. Rosario is a better bet to be average though possibly not healthy. Verdugo seems pretty different from other two but my recollection is there wasn't too much special about his...

I don't see how that's a particularly greater risk for Kelenic than Heyward or Rosario honestly. But any event, the upside is higher which probably makes it the better decision. If it doesn't work you pick something up at deadline like you might do anyway if you went with the other two.

Something like those guys but under control for a long time and still 2 years away from age 27 rather than declining.

But in the end, the team didn't hit.

It's very possible teams do not assign much value to Grissom. If that's the case why not use him as a utility man.

Yeah, I was wrong about that piece.

It’s converting dead money to a useful-ish roster piece. If Stassi can be moved.

Fourth OF?

I suppose, but they wouldn't have Kelenic. Evan white is 7m worth of dead money. They turned 6m of the dead money into a viable utility man. The question though is how mich money they'll need to send out to get off Stassi. Or perhaps they'll trade him for another slightly overpaid bench...

Hah, now do 32 years.

Braves passed in first round of Rule 5.

They ate a good bit of money to take a swing, but the potential reward was almost unlimited and the long term risk basically nothing. Finding an average or better LF at deadline is not hard line you say.

Seems like the thought after trade was that the Braves might have to kick in more than the cash they got to move him.

Could not get a MLB gig all of last year. Not sure why you'd be thrilled .
