Reports: Braves Acquire Jorge Soler And Luke Jackson From Giants

[Garmel]

Soler hasn't played an inning of defense this year.

 

[CyYoung31]

Report: Soler hurt his knee on the jetway while boarding the plane to Milwaukee.

Eddie or laureano getting the axe?

Laureano’s double **** up Friday cost him.

 

[Enscheff]

This is a very odd fix for the OF. Not a huge fan of this deal, but Soler will undoubtedly add some offense.

 

[Garmel]

This will probably seal the deal for Kelenic next year as no longer a starter. Soler, Harris and Acuna will be our starters in the OF next year.

Try and use kelenic in a deal to get Brandon Lowe.

Hopefully someone alerts Snit that Jackson is a blowout (either way) pitcher at this stage of his career.

The fact that Iglesias, Jimenez, Minter, and Johnson are already in their roles, highly doubt Luke will be in many high leverage situations

I see a DFA in his future the next couple days

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Jackson comes with a 2 million buyout for next season.

 

[msstate7]

Jackson in July...
8 games, 9 ip
13.0 k9, 1.0 bb9
3.00 era
3.48 FIP
1.75 xFIP

Yep. He can play 2b until Oz comes back then he can play the OF for the rest of the season/playoffs.

It would be nice to have a versatile guy like him.

Probably cost too much though.

 

[Dunit24]

Never wanted to lose Soler. Glad's to have him back. Just a big time power threat.

 

[Hulavol]

Love having Soler in lineup … we sure do need it!

Initial thought, I can think of some better ways to blow past the luxury tax thresholds than Kelenic + Soler.

 

[Nerfherders]

I didn't see here what we gave up. Turns out we traded one postseason hero for another. Matzek to Giants, and also Sabin Ceballos, 3rd round pick last year, 17th rated prospect. Currently 3B at A+.

 

[Carp]

Matzek will be back in the organization before the end of August.

 

[Carp]

I am a little bummed we sent Ceballos away. One of the few offensive pieces in our system with a semblance of hope to be a useful major leaguer one day.

I just don’t get it honestly. They could have just signed Soler and saved a million headaches.
