2022 Trade Deadline

He has - just as Soler, Joc, and Duvall were last summer before Alex traded for them.

If he can get Grossman and Fulmer for the same types of prospects he hit the lottery with last year, he doesn't lose anything if he tries to catch lightning in a bottle again.

Duvall was very good when we traded for him. Soler and Joc had the pedigree. Grossman was never supposed to be good and more than likely has actually turned into a pumpkin at this point. No thanks.

You're missing the point.

The Tigers are the type of team that would probably take somebody like Jenista who has options just to get Grossman's money off their books. He's not going to be added to the Braves' 40-Man this winter, so he's probably not going to be in the organization anyway. He fits the same mold Jackson did when he was shipped off for Duvall - somebody that wasn't going to be kept.

Jenista and Davidson probably gets you Grossman and Fulmer - how the *ell do you lose if that's what it takes? If Grossman doesn't snap out of it, you DFA him or leave him off the playoff roster.

Who cares if we can get him for cheap when he sucks? His underlying stats say he just sucks man

I'd love to see us get Ian Happ and Tyler Mahle. Yeah, I'd like to get more elite players if we can but I'm trying to be realistic. With Strider's possible shakiness as a starter and Ian having a rough go I think we need to get another starter. Perhaps Muller is ready?

I like getting these 2

Lf and 2b are replacement level at best. 5th starter, Anderson , as well. Need a plan.

I'm hard on Anderson but as a 5th starter he's fine. He won't see the rotation in the playoffs

2b I guess depends on ozzies time frame. I'm not sure when he'd expected to return but I don't want to waste resources on 2b if it's clear ozzie will be back for the stretch run

LF was an area of upgrade from the left side and now it's clear priority number one with duvall out.

Second area of concern is more pen hemp because you can never have enough.

Get the best OF you can and some pen help and go make another playoff run.

Seems reasonable. They know how to best handle Anderson. I wouldn’t mind giving muller a start if he’s not traded. Maybe Anderson needs to skip a start. Guy has been really helpful for a couple of runs.

Braves know the best how Ozzie is progressing. Still after deadline you can’t add outside the org. So unless you think shewmake or Grissom is capable to help I’d look to upgrade . Still a chance dansby or Riley needs a couple of weeks.

Lf and dh…forgot dh could use an upgrade. We don’t have much to trade. Can aa strike gold two deadlines in a row?
 
Hunter Dozier is someone to keep an eye on as well. Decent bat. Plays a lot of positions but none of them particularly well. Would be super cheap.

FWIW this is where Shanks gets his "inside information" - LOL.

Tweeted that the Cards "are prepared to offer one of the biggest trade packages in MLB history" for Soto yesterday AFTER tweeting that "they seem to be slowly backing out of the Soto sweepstakes" on the 23rd. Which is it??? He also tweeted that "if everything aligns perfectly (rare) Juan Soto will be traded tomorrow" on the 21st.

Would be nice if he was right, but it's probably fair to be skeptical of ANY Twitter account that doesn't even have a person's name associated with it - this is probably where Gottleib found out Close wasn't telling Freeman about offers.

Fulmer would be a target for the BP. Hard throwing righty and has been better since going to the bullpen.
 
Fangraphs did a story where they did a bunch of mock trades for the deadline. Their Braves trade was Benintendi to Atlanta for Tarnok, Brandol Mezquita and Tyler Collins.
 
Hypothetical that would never happen.

Detroit made an enormous mistake giving Baez that contract, and he’s been dreadful this year, but was really good last year. Let’s say Detroit was willing to eat $50-60m of his remaining contract, would there be interest in trading for Baez to play 2B rest of season and move him back to SS next year to replace Dansby? For the rest of the season, you have a good replacement for Ozzie and someone who would be able to slide to LF when Ozzie is healthy. The hope is that a change of scenery and being on a competitive team revives Baez.

You obviously can’t make this trade and risk pissing off Dansby and other Braves players. But something like that could be an interesting way of addressing multiple problems without a huge prospect cost.
