I guess they want no parts of Jim Johnson, right?

Spare parts is about all he'd be good for at this point...

everyone is available at a certain price...but I don't think Archer is available at a price we would want to pay

Rosenthal said if Braves trade Garcia, we'll go after a RP like Brad Brach. And the Braves are still in the Sonny Gray sweepstakes along with Mil and NYY.

Rosenthal said we like Brach because he's controllable. He has one year of control left. That would be really dumb if he costs even a decent prospect.
I'm warming to Gray if we can get him without dealing Albies/Acuna. Still don't love it, but I can live with it.
There's no way in hell I would do that deal.
And I think it's a huge overvaluation of Gray.

Here's what I want... trade Garcia to get the best prospect possible (even if you have to package a Blair, etc and pay all the money). Make a trade for Sonny Gray as long as it doesn't involve Albies/Acuna/Maitan/Soroka/Wright/Gohara. Trade Teheran for the best offer you can find, preferably one of the prospects would be a decent catching prospect close to the majors for a stop gap after Flowers next year. Give away Kemp/Markakis if need be (Markakis for Hunter Dozier). Trade something cheap for Profar. Off season, see if you can make a decent trade for Archer (not likely).... but would rather sign Lynn or maybe Cobb. Prefer Lynn because of Cobb's fly ball tendencies. Trade BP for anything before the deadline. Sign Mouse or wait and break the bank for Machado. Or trade for Solarte.
Would love to see:
1B - Freeman
2B - Albies
SS - Swanson/Camargo (almost want to trade Swanson while he still has high value)
3B - Machado/Mouse/Solarte
C - Flowers, then later a close prospect, and eventually Contreras or Gutierrez
RF - Acuna
CF - Ender
LF - Not sure here, maybe a prospect from the Teheran Trade
Rotation:
Gray
Folty
Lynn/Cobb
Newcomb/Soroka
Dickey/Soroka/Gohara/Allard
All a pipe dream, but the finances would likely work and it would make us a very good team.

No way Gray costs that much. Anderson, Pache, and Wisler/Blair....
Not now.... Off-season

Anderson, Pache, and a pitcher who hasnt done well at the big league level? I'd be surprised.
That's definitely not enough. If we could get him for that, even I would say go for it all day.

Archer is probably available but not at a price the Braves should pay.

I think we might get a controllable BP piece or something.
Regarding Gray, i think he's Yankee bound.

Someone should overpay for Gray, but given Beane's last few trades, that's not a foregone conclusion. Yanks do have the bodies to get him.
