Farewell to Wood, Peraza, Jimmy Johns, and Avilans.

[Deester11]

The odds of any of our starters reaching the caliber of Wood is very low. Hes a stud. His peripherals are awesome and hes a lefty. Maybe they think hes an injury concern.

I'm not even batting an eye about whether he's dealt or not. He is talented, but SHOULD the Braves trade, I'm sure Hart and company will do well. I think if they're peddling Chris Johnson, he's going to be the reason this message board explodes!

 

[Heyward]

Wood equals crap with Hart, but can be flipped for Hamels? Something is going on. I really want Puig. If that happens, I'll be okay with the deal.

If Wood can be flipped for Hamels, why not just trade Wood, Peraza, etc to Philly for him?

Somehow I feel like Heyward is gonna be a Brave again by the end of the night.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Trading away wood because of injury concerns has got to be a joke, right? He's the only damn healthy pitcher in the organization.

We prefer head cases like Teheran.

This is my face right now reading this thread:

You're a lot prettier than I would have guessed.

That's the funniest post of the night. Thanks for that!

 

[Tapate50]

Can we give them Chris Johnson?

Matt Holliday's quad fell off again. Black Jesus is going to have to play both LF and RF at the same time for St. Louis now.

Your proof is what? Dumb post although you had a better one earlier.

 

[UNCBlue012]

I wish they'd give us some freaking information.

 

[tomahawkchop]

Olivera cannot be the headliner. Peterson, Seager, Puig or Urias have to be in the deal or we lose. No way you trade your top prospect and a young, controllable SP like Wood for Olivera as the centerpiece.

I agree with this.

Plus, the way I see this is that the Braves were approached about this trade. They could have sat back this deadline and not dealt wood or peraza...so somewhere along the lines, they were given a name that they couldn't say "no" to...

Agreed

Same division. Phills prob don't want to see Hamels in the east

Maybe we'll luck out and this radio silence is because the deal fell through.

 

[Dalyn]

Are we? I don't see Wood ever really being any better than he is right now. I'm not even fully sure that the deal isn't fair with a decent pitching prospect, but it's a deal that flies in the face of our current status as a non-contending team.

Wood is a 24-year-old lefty who has pitched very well for a ****ty team two years in a row now. 24.

One can only hope that was what they were thinking.

Let's just hope that name wasn't Hector Olivera.

@JeffPassan

Dodgers-Braves-Marlins' three-way trade far from done. Medical concerns in multiple directions, esp. with Hector Olivera's elbow. But ...

**** me forgot about the damn elbow. was a problem this winter too.

 

[bravesnumberone]

It's just a vent. We are completely idiotic for trading Wood if we're not getting their top prospect and Puig in return. I'm sick of the "injury risk" argument.

 

[DirkPiggler]

Avilan is warming up. Hurry up and get this **** done!
