Braves Trade Heyward, Walden to Cardinals for Miller and Tyrell Jenkins

[MadduxFanII]

From the team's official Twitter account:

The #Braves have acquired RHP Shelby Miller and RHP Tyrell Jenkins from the Cardinals in exchange for OF Jason Heyward and RHP Jordan Walden

I think we all know that Heyward is going to explode in St. Louis next year.

I don't know anything about Tyrell Jenkins beyond what's in his B-Ref page. And what's in his B-Ref page is really, really unimpressive.

Damn that was quick.

 

[JohnAdcox]

Just call me Jason Heyward, because moves like this and the move to Cobb County are making me seriously question my love of baseball.

 

[Millwood1Hitter]

Ummmm.....that's all we're getting? Really? Cmon wake up now....this better be a bad nightmare.

 

[Prikichi]

No way! I am beyond pissed right now!!! FCK YOU JOHN HART!

 

[bravesnumberone]

LMAO. Everyone that outright celebrated Wren being fired deserves this.

 

[Dalyn]

Please tell me they also took BJ and his contract or something. This is awful.

 

[Prikichi]

I want wren back

 

[jsebe10]

Damn.... Not Walden

I think we are officially in rebuild mode...Think St Louis will start throwing out money to lock up Heyward?

 

[Dalyn]

LMAO. Everyone that outright celebrated Wren being fired deserves this.

One or two posters celebrated Wren getting fired. Most of us said he was getting scapegoated HARD.

 

[NYCBrave]

Can someone break this trade down and explain how the value make sense?

 

[Carp]

Could this be our JD Drew for Adam Wainwright? Certainly hope so. I hate the Cards already. Really don't want to see Heyward play there for 10 yrs.

 

[MadduxFanII]

I certainly hope that Walden's inclusion in this was about inching St. Louis to the point where they'd give up Miller and not about getting Jenkins, because if it was the latter I'd rather we had just held on to Jordan for a later deal.

 

[Hawk]

Yeah, **** this ****.

I thought one of the reasons Seitzer was hired was to bring out the potential with Jason...wtf?
