Damn man.. I know you have to give something to get something.... but that's a STEEEEEEP price to be paying... would die a little inside every time Bryce shut us out while Drew mashed three dingers wearing a ****ing Mets uniform... for the next five years....

I’d hope that nobody would be sad to see Bryse go in a Thor package.

Or you could also be on the parade route down Peachtree for the next could seasons lol!

If you don't like that send that same package to the Reds for Castillo and Amir Garrett

 

[Hulavol]

You know what ? You are right. The parade route would be worth iit. 25 years is too damn long.

That price would just be too steep for me. AA has taken a conservative approach thus far and I'd prefer it if he stayed on that track. I'd love to have Syndergaard and Vazquez, but I'd really prefer not to clean out 5-6 of our top 10 prospects in order to do it. Especially given the fact that we are extremely thin at the lower levels of our farm.

Eh neither are those are that steep honestly. Would be surprised if AA traded that much for a RP given his comments about them. But FV is on a great, great contract.

But thats like half of our top prospects, pass for me.

Getting Syndergaard and Vazquez guarantees nothing. At best it might take us from a 7% chance of winning the world series up to a 12-13% chance. They are longer term assets so that is attractive, but I care about that less with pitchers. Especially when we are talking about a reliever and a guy who has made more than 30 starts exactly once in his career.

They give us a far better chance than what we have now.

 

[Heyward]

They do, but if we're unloading the system, i can find better ways to use our farm than that.

Well duh but so does adding any number of other players that don’t gut the system. The Cubs did that and are about to be a dumpster fire for about a decade. No thanks.

I get your point. But to me, both of those deals really shorten our contention window. And even with those trades, we're still not going to be clearly better than the Dodgers, or any of the top AL teams. Personally, I'd play it safe this year and roll the dice with who we've got, plus make a couple of smart acquisitions to shore up the bullpen.

I wouldnt say they'll be a dumpster fire but they certainly shortened their window. Dont wanna see the Braves do that.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

Buckle up.

Can I get out of the car yet? It’s been hours.

Id be fine with that deal for Thor. But what this team needs as much as Thor is another really good outfielder. I don’t know who is available but if they could use their young pitchers sans Anderson for a real bat, that would be ideal.

We have other than Acuna for the outfield: Camargo, Culberson, Ender, Riley, Markakis, and even Pache could get called up. Would be shocked if they added a bat, not surprising they're linked to pitching.

I was curious about that. If a deal came along for a bat would he pass?

Sorry, but that's an awful idea. No way is Vazquez worth remotely close to that, and if he was, we should stay far, far away. Brad Hand and Adam Cimber (a rookie reliever having a great year last year) only brought back Francisco Meija, a consensus 60 FV prospect pre-season, but as a catcher who's defense was being questioned, likely was seeing his value decline a bit.

 

[jpack1]

That’s mostly because there really isn’t one available currently.

A good RP and someone like Wheeler make the most sense. Keeping all the legit prospects, IMO, Pache, Waters, and Anderson.
