Possible BP trade?

I know people claim Phillips is a poor defender now, but it would be fun to see him and Simmons play the middle of the infield together. If the Braves would have gotten Phillips five years ago we would have been in for amazing defense from two elite defenders.

If Jup opts out do we go after him again? Already have twice.

Yep, just waiting on the return to be announced... Probably cash considerations or Disneyland tickets...

I'll just be glad we can play Camargo, Dansby, and Albies everyday.

Ruiz starting at 3b tomorrow?

 

[Russ2dollas]

I get the no trade clause. I get wanting to play for the braces.

But this is 500 k to play a month or two. It's not like he has to move his family

Comargo.

[msstate7]

Comargo.

He gonna be back tomorrow?

We get 29 year old catcher Tony Sanchez.

We do our best work with catchers over 30, so he's almost ready

Phillips was a great pick up.
Saving service time on Ozzie was worth it

But clearing the innings for young guys is more important than the return.

Angels also paying $500K trade bonus.

Sanchez was the 4th overall pick of the draft ... back in 2009.

 

[Enscheff]

BP deserves to play for a team in contention. Good for him.

 

[Oklahomabrave]

DOB tweeted that Coppy says we will strongly reconsider trying to re-sign Phillips. I really hope he is just being nice

The FO does seem to have given a high priority on generating savings in various trades. The Garcia trade. I think the Cards picked up a chunk of Adams' contract. Just seems that finances ended up being a bit tighter than expected.
