2025 Trade Deadline Thread

[Enscheff]

Is Walcott even close? Would he be a 2026 helper... if this was even true.

He's 19 and has almost 400 PAs in AA. I imagine someone like Allen would keep the position warm until he was ready in 2026.

While don't usually trade guys like him, a team with Seager locked in at SS would be the type of team who could, and a controllable star catcher who is free in 2025 is the type of MLB asset you'd want for a prospect like him.

yeah, I think Murph and Ozuna (both free this year) would be a nice return for him.. probably need Texas to throw in some lottery ticket for the cash the Braves would be sending.

Texas is currently:

#23 in C WAR, and somehow don't even show up on the leaderboard for DH.

Being able to use a prospect completely blocked by a cornerstone like Seager to fix both positions for free in 2025, and to control the C for even longer, has to be appealing.

You're overthinking it because it originated from a troll account

 

[Super]

This is crazy. AA is a bum

 

[jpx7]

The Diamondbacks are doing this right. Don’t hate that, as they’re my current proximity-based second team.

 

[striker42]

If we let the deadline pass without getting something for the expiring contracts then I'll have no defense of AA anymore. You could defend off-season inaction based on resetting the tax. That's not a consideration here

 

[Hudson2]

AA was t gonna give Ozuna away bc he don't have to. If he wasn't offered anything while still paying their salary then hold firm.

 

[Hudson2]

But I agree with everybody that this is a fail right now. Can't wait to hear the excuses bc nobody is gonna buy them from the FO.

 

[drewdat]

Waiver deals are still effectively dead because of postseason roster deadlines, right?

 

[Carp]

I'm gonna assume nothing is happening at this point. Something would have leaked

For what purpose exactly?

Why wouldn’t you give him away for nothing. It literally doesn’t matter to this team. He is better served playing for a contender and the Braves are better served playing kids who will help the team next year and beyond.

 

[Nerfherders]

Welp...

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Unless something comes up in the next ten minutes, this is an absolute failure of a trade deadline

 

[Carp]

AA can officially eat a dick. What a shitshow

 

[jpx7]

Agreed. Getting nothing of substance done would be a huge L.

Yeah beyond pathetic

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Just don't understand going with the 3-headed monster the rest of this season when one of Baldwin/Murphy/Ozuna has to sit each night. Baldwin needs to be playing 5-6 games per week.

It doesn't serve us him being on a contender. Not unless we get something back which we will never know what went on. People still come to the stadium to see him and he's a good teammate from all reports and we aren't strapped for cash so we don't have to trade him if we weren't gonna get any value back.
