Funny to think....

So what would the price of Thor be like?

Newk or Gohara, Allard, Anderson + a decent position player? Would that do it??

As usual, it would be so expensive there wouldn't be enough of a team left to compete anyways.

The Braves have a completely home grown core that is young and improving...and they are barely in the WC hunt now.

And folks want to trade away part of that young and improving core to bring in a pitcher who will only be around for 2-3 years?

That exact thought process is how windows of contention slam shut.

Oh, I’m not saying I want to trade for him. We should stay the course. I was just curious.

LOL....

You say the Braves should acquire the next slam dunk, and then in your next post admit there's no way to tell who the next slam dunk is.

Clearly you're a brilliant baseball mind!

not sure what the issue here is. that seems to flow exactly with what you're saying. keep the young core together unless the deal is too good to be true or something like that.


but in fact i don't think the braves should do much of anything involving getting rid of talent. i'm not even sure i said the braves should trade for the next slam dunk. i believe i merely suggested that a slam dunk is a real thing.
 
I think there is an excellent chance that if the Braves acquire the likes of Sale, deGrom, Thor, bumgarner that they would continue to pitch in the same range they are currently pitching.

I’m not sure if that’s a “slam dunk” or not.
