THURSDAY MINORS FINAL 6/6/19: M-Braves have six all-stars!

[UNCBlue012]

Allard and Demeritte for Smith.

That's fair for a half-season, honestly.

The bidding for Smith's services should be very strong.

I like the Allard, TD offer. There is still some shine left on both and should be enough to get a rental. Hopefully sooner than waiting all the way to July 31

Agreed. I’d try to make a deal now but most teams will hold onto their players and hope somebody overpays the closer they get to the deadline.

Ugg. That one still stings.

Ugg. That one still stings.

It doesn't sting as much as the game-winner he gave up to Uggla in one of the Braves' all-time collapses when the Nats came back from a huge deficit to win late.

Thought of acquiring a really good asset at a position of major need at expense of two players that seem nothing more than organizational filler does bring some pleasure.

Giants probably aspire higher. That's definitely an offer to put in your pocket until a few minutes before the deadline.
