2022 Trade Deadline

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.

Wouldn't be interested in Baez even if they ate enough money to make him cost what Dansby costs now.

Marlins also willing to trade everyone but Alcantara. Yeah, AA will find a way to make upgrades.

I like Joey Wendle. He’s a floor raiser at a few position where we have some exposure and would slide nicely into a super utility role once everyone is healthy.

Out of the box idea. Get Bogaerts put him at 3rd and move Riley to LF.

Trade for Freddie to play 3rd... move Austin to LF lol

But seriously... that's an interesting idea. I'd worry about getting Austin out of his most comfortable position when he's dominating the league though
 
Play Boggarts at 2nd until Ozzie is back and then use Boggarts at 2nd, 3rd, SS and DH to keep the infield fresh. Would means Ozuna plays LF most days but it's an idea.

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.

Benintendi is projected for 1 win at a cost of $2.8M. Accounting for the “playoff run premium”, that puts his value at roughly $10M-$15M.

Tarnok is a 40, Mez is a 40, and Collins is a 35+. That’s a total of less than $5M in prospect capital. Seems like a good value to me, even if the names aren’t exact.

The trade the intrigues me is Happ for Kelley (40+), Colas (45) and Vera (40+). AA can afford a package like that.

Happ is who I hope we end up getting. Maybe we can get a reliever like Givens back too.
 
We’d have Happ for next year to with him having a year of arb left so that’ll help cross something off AA’s list for next year too.
