Thanks Cowboy and no reflection on you but has this what its come to as far as sports journalism? One "expert" re-tweeting the speculations of another "expert?"

Pretty much

Hope so... Just got a feeling we are the third team and he's coming to us. JJ goes to them... Reds get a couple of decent prospects from both teams

Sounds like a braves kind of move. Then we'd have to make a decision on Markakis and olivera

Rays seem to be the third team

Listened to Bowman's podcast and he had a segment on Olivera. Said he thinks there's a 5% chance Olivera plays for the Braves again at the MLB level. Also, he said that some players have let it be known to the FO that they don't want Olivera back in the clubhouse.

I don't guess that they are going to pitch in to cover the cost of releasing him?

Hmm. Seems near 100% speculation.

Would be awesome if true. Wonder if the Dodgers would be willing to take back Olivera in such a trade.

I wouldnt be against Puig depending what we have to give up....

Maybe we could arrange a Puig/Olivera UFC?

The teams involved on JJ should be very similar to Joe Smith.

We "could" build a trade around Viz and someone like Cabrera for Giolito . That would be a way better deal for them and gives them cheap controllable upside high velocity arms

No, thats a terrible deal. I wouldnt do it, but if you trade gio, its for an elite closer. They already have a top reliever in Kelly and plenty of good arms, including Glover. Heck, they could just move Lopez to the pen in the meantime.

Why would they trade a top prospect for an injured closer with very little experience?

 

[Heyward]

Not saying we'd get Puig or anything but he is pretty cheap until 2020.

Really not sure what it would be involve around if it happened.

[Heyward]

Nevermind, just saw they'd trade him for Miller.

 

[Tapate50]

Puig isn't real good.

Moncada to White Sox for Quintana.

Moncada to White Sox for Quintana.

I'm not seeing anything confirming this. Have a link?

I googled it and saw a few Twitter feeds saying he was removed from the game but saw a few others that said that was incorrect

 

[TheBravos]

It's all over Twitter ...dang...shoot

Somebody posted his snap chat saying he was traded for Abreau.
