Would love to find a way to make this trade work from the Braves perspective. Markakis is a better fit for that park, and would have hope of hitting 5-10 HRs with NYY.
Another possibility I've pondered is something with BAL built around Markakis for Ubaldo Jimenez. Jimenez is under contract next year for $13.5m. He's getting BABIPed in a big way this year. He's a 1-2 WAR pitcher in decline, so would probably be our #2 starter next year! The Orioles brass loves Markakis, and they could really use corner OF help next year (Trumbo is a FA and they are weak in LF).
