Braves Trade Deadline Rumors

[Bye Week]

Welcome aboard! I was wondering who you were when I validated. WHYYY YOU MAKE SO DIFFICULT JUST MAKE IT RHT10 so everybody knows!

I am Bye Week on every other board that I'm, its my fantasy team names and my twitter handle. I'm trying to keep it easy for me.

 

[The Tariff King]

Well in that case, you've earned a Bye with me.

Per Peter Gammons, "every GM ive talked to say the mariners want premier prospects for LHP rel. O. Perez, Furbush, B. Moran."

premier prospects??

As they should, Perez has been amazing....pretty sure he is unscored on in 34 of his last 36 outings or something nuts. If a contending team needs a closer or setup man to get over the top, why not?

Would LOVE to get Perez, don't think we will get him though.

Has any team ever gotten a premier prospect for a loogy?

He's not a LOOGY

 

[weso1]

He's not a LOOGY

For his career:

OPS vs LHB: .682

OPS vs RHB: .782

For his career:

OPS vs LHB: .682

OPS vs RHB: .782

Wouldn't using the last 2 years be more relevant? Since that's when he's been pitching out of the pen?

2013 vs RH's : BAA of 171 and a OPS against of 588

2012 vs RH's : BAA of 204 and a OPS against of 541

Id only trade for perez for him to pitch in games against the mets.

I still think Wren should look into really upgrading the rotation to be honest.

I just don't think its enough.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Who is out there for CF options? Jordan is out until possibly September. Throw in these injuries to our outfielders and we need some outside help.

 

[skidlee]

Justin Ruggiano
Alejandro De Aza
Franklin Gutierrez
David DeJesus
Chris Denorfia
Rajai Davis
Endy Chavez
Dewayne Wise
Ryan Sweeney
Alex Rios

Miami shouldn't trade him, but that doesn't mean anything. De Aza is a decent hitter, but awful with the glove. Gutierrez and De Jesus are both injured. Denorfia is intriguing and Rajai Davis would be awesome to add. Meh on the remainders and we can't afford Rios.

Thornton is off the board. Boston just got him from the White Sox.

Looks like the price was a player similar to Lipka.

 

[Jay212033]

Would you guy pull the trigger on this deal?

White Sox get:

Kris Medlen - RHP

J.R. Graham - RHP

Joey Terdoslovich - 1B/OF

Christian Bethancourt - C

Braves get:

Chris Sale - LHP

 

[NinersSBChamps]

I think we overpay a tad in that deal. I assume Graham is a decent prospect? I'd probably do that deal though.

I think we'd have to overpay to get Sale imo. He's a TOR guy and pair him with Minor, Teheran and Beachy we'd be good for the next few years.

This rotation lacks a power arm and Sale fits that 100 percent. I just don't see us acquiring a starter right now.

One of the reasons for getting away from The Other Place, besides PD's psychotic episodes, was to avoid dipsh*tted trade proposals.

That was harsh, Why does it bother you so much. Just disagree and move on
