To me a SP, and 2 position prospects would be needed. De Leon, Pederson, and Guerrero/Peraza and I'd add Mallex in. With Pederson, Mallex is expendable.
I'd bet Seager is a no go. Urias, Pederson, Guerrero, Peraza, De Leon are all the players that would have to be in play imo. I'd want 2 from that group and I'd add a piece if we needed. Urias, Pederson, and Guerrero for Miller and Mallex would be ideal. We get a power hitting cf'er, a stud starting pitching prospect, and our 3b back.
You're not getting Joc Pederson plus De Leon.
Exactly. I think a lot of our fans' value for Miller is inflated. We should be ecstatic if we got Pederson alone for Miller. There's no way we're getting Seager or Urias at all, and guys like Pederson and De Leon would have to be straight-up trades, if that's even possible.
We won't get an elite prospect, and we won't get anything more than one very good one. Our options are probably something like one very good one and nothing else, two good prospects, or a couple pretty good major league pieces.
Miller has good value, but no one is going to view him as an ace. People seem to be expecting an ace return.
You saw the Braves asked for Pollock. Yeah they were turned down but I'm glad the Braves are asking that much bc we don't have to trade him. If somebody wants him they're gonna have to over pay. And if the Dodgers miss out on Price and Greinke then I can see them overpaying for pitching.
Well I disagree with your value of Shelby. If we trade him and had a smarter front office we would get a big return. My point is your not getting a potential superstar power CF in Joc PLUS a top 20 overall prospect in De Leon for Shelby. You're not going to get a guy like Joc who just finished his rookie season. But a package like De Leon, Verdugo etc is reasonable. Or you're looking at a guy like Puig who has similar contractual control.
De Leon, Verdugo, and Barnes for Shelby. Then sign me up

Let's just all agree shanks is an idiot and leave it at that. They are all terribly lopsided wins for the Braves. He seems to think lumping a few zero value organizational fillers with a real MLB asset will somehow double the return from the other team.
I'm shocked anyone still pays for his "premium" content.

I know you guys aren't huge Shanks fans, but this would be about what I'd want. Not that we truly have a chance to make some of these trades, but if we can, I'd do them.
