I think the Braves will end up either signing Frazier for 3B or trading for Donaldson or Headley. I think it probably goes: trade for Donaldson, sign Frazier, trade for Headley in the thought process which kicks the problem can of 3B down the road a year or two.

Lol Upton had his best numbers with Atlanta. Plus his numbers been going up the last few months.

At this stage, I would re-sign Suzuki (much cheaper than Lucroy), consider Swanson expendable and try to offer the Marlins a sweet deal that includes Adams, Allard, Muller and Pache (flexible) and bring in Christian Yelich and bad contract of Prado.
Look at Yelich's contract. Can't believe he took this:
7 years/$49.57M (2015-21), plus 2022 option
signed extension with Miami 3/22/15,
15:$0.57M, 16:$1M, 17:$3.5M, 18:$7M, 19:$9.75M, 20:$12.5M, 21:$14M, 22:$15M club option ($1.25M buyout). He would only be 30 in 2022.
Camargo holds down short, Prado moves back to third
Prado owed $28.5 million the next two years

The problem is that this will cost you an arm (or two) that no one wants to trade to make it happen - an Allard/Gohara/Soroka type. They're stupid, but not stupid enough to give Yelich away to save $28.5 million.
If Coppy could make that happen for Fried and Wentz, I'd hope everyone would jump.
I wish we had more "garbage." We might actually be a playoff team with "garbage" like that.
I compared it. It's still pretty damn impressive actually.
He included Allard in his offer.
Completely missed that - my bad rico! Just had time to scan stuff quickly.

Is he 30 and rapidly declining?

So this is also a Josh Donaldson fan board too?
He's hitting 27% above league average.
This is the difficulty when building a team. Donaldson has slowed down some this year, but guess what, you arent signing any free agents that are 25 years old and at the top of the league. Yeah, you overpay for free agents, it's just the world you live in.
The signing of Donaldson would remind me a lot of the Nats signing Werth. There would be a couple good years and a couple bad years, but it does establish the franchise as a team that is ready to try and win. We aren't winning anything with a bunch of kids, you have to have some sort of a mixture.

The people here and the front office clearly don't understand that concept.
did the guy who called Josh Donaldson "garbage" just accuse people of not understanding things

agree. It's not a contest of who handles assets the bests. You have to win games.
FA will be over paid and ATL will likely have to overpay vs some others.
You may very well be right on target.... but that opt out (or not) is a huge risk for a team like the Braves to take on.
That is a good idea. We should be targeting guys that will be entering their prime soon with year of control under their belt. Mix in a couple FA moves, but the most successful option will be giving up prospects for guys "like" Yelich.
