Trade Deadline Day

[bravesnumberone]

Thought today might warrant its own thread. Quiet so far today.

 

[The Tariff King]

Was just going to make this thread. Of course if the Braves get anyone, it will be in a separate thread.

 

[Heyward]

Braves trade for David Price, per Rosenthal.

Bowman seems to think we'll stand pat for the rest of the day.

I'm not expecting nothing huge, but I'd like another righty out of the pen.

They shouldn't cost that much like a Qualls or Lindstrom.

Consider the source but Bill Shanks tends to think we could get Bonifacio for not a lot.

For some reason, im really hoping we get him.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Braves probably will wait until August to pick anything else up. I read last night the Padres would "have to be inspired" to give up Gregerson or Thatcher.

Doesn't appear to be a lot of buzz out there. Michael Young announced he would accept a trade to the Red Sox, so that might happen.

I'd like Bonafacio as well. Kind of a poor man's Omar Infante. Boy, next to the Nationals, the Blue Jays have to be the most disappointing team in baseball this season. They looked like they were loading up, but the gunpowder got wet. Wonder what the Jays would want for Macier Izturis.

Does Mark DeRosa have anything left in the tank? I know he's not a lefty but is versatile.

He's had a nice comeback season.

EB > Janish? Offensively no doubt. Defensively not sure if EB could be even a fill in for Simba and Andrelton will need some rest. Losing Pena really hurt more than most people outside of the ATL realized.

Too bad Pastornicky can't field because he would be a good replacment.

Cafardo hearing we're still talking to the Astros about Norris.

Find that a little odd.

 

[sentenza]

The cards still looking for a catcher now.
I hope we will not hear Brian's name in the next hours!

I'd love for DeRo to come back. After that terrible ACL tear he had.

 

[bravesnumberone]

Yeah, I'll pass.

 

[Mad Dog Murph]

I think Bonafacio would be a nice pickup. It's a crappy market, so I am not expecting much...

 

[bravesnumberone]

I'm saying I'd rather have him than Bonifacio. Plus, as long as we continue to have a lead and don't falter, we could add an extra lefty bench bat like Terdo for the postseason roster.

I'd trade them Laird.

Doubtful they are looking for much more than a backup type.

I'll take Adam Wainright, please and thank you.

I think Bonifacio brings a lot of versatility to the table and has a couple of traits we lack right now. Janish would be a short drive away in Gwinnett, so in the event Simmons went down for an extended period, he could be back. I think it's all about having a hot August and giving guys rest in September.
