2025 Trade Deadline Thread

[CrimsonCowboy]

Should we trade Riley given his contract and performance trajectory?

I don’t. With his contract, the Braves would have to chip in a lot of money and that would lessen the potential package in return.

Sure, but if someone overpays you have to sling him.

Exactly. If a team views him as viable mid-season SP depth / postseason swing depth, and will pay the requisite contenders’ premium, I think that return would likely be worth more to the Braves in 2026 and beyond.

Plus, with his salary and controllability, cheaper teams in contention could up the bidding further than just the usual suspects.

A Murphy + Holmes package could get you a really good return. I don't think they'll trade Holmes though bc he's a pretty valuable piece to have around.

Would like more examples of AA talking out both sides of his mouth.

And regardless of that, as stated that article is 1.5 years old. Things change in that span.

Last month was quite a few months ago in the Big ‘25.

Along with buying Correa, get sandy alcantara too. Both are at absolute lowest value points and I think both will rebound nicely.

But Riley and Albies won’t?

Riley probably will. Ozzie is done

Correct.

Yeah, that was before we lost Sale and Schwelly for at least 2 months.


But sure, if we can somehow manage to win 12 of our next 15 games all against teams with better records than us while using a hodgepodge of AAA caliber starting pitchers along with Strider and Holmes, I could see AA being a buyer at the deadline.
