Trade Deadline/Rumors thread

[Oklahomabrave]

Was that a bad joke?

 

[Deester11]

Bad joke. Don't see it

 

[keithlaw]

I thought it was pretty good.

Detroit had a really good deadline. Got three good young pitchers for guys that were leaving after the season.

 

[mossy]

So the Pads seriously didn't trade Upton, Kemp or Kimbrel?

Man for all the talk about how we were going to end up flipping all of those veterans...

We ended up flipping our highest rated prospect and our best (or 2nd best) starting pitcher

#johnhart

We flipped Albies?

Would you have liked if we did what SD did?

 

[Heyward]

I hope the Mutts BURY the nationals.

They're barely over .500 right now.

Fine with keeping Maybin, his contract is really team-friendly and FA OF market reeks this winter.

I would have traded AJ and Gomes for anything though.

At least we arent the Padres though, Preller is running them into the ground.

 

[Heyward]

If I was to grade the Braves at the trade deadline I would give them an F. AJ, Gomes, Maybin, Teheran, even Markakis. there is no reason for any of them to still be here, not to mention Chris Johnson.

I'll give you Gomes and AJ.

We arent getting Cespedes, Jason or Justin so whats wrong with keeping Maybin who has a very good contract, given the market.

Teheran's value is at an all time low, no reason to trade him.

I can get trading Markakis if anyone would trade for him.

Regarding CJ, we'd have to attach a good player with him just to get rid of him and thats a horrible way of business.

 

[Heyward]

Other than not trading Gomes/AJ, fine with the deadline.

Only time will tell on the Wood/Olivera trade.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Hart swings and misses on his trade deadline. Hopefully he doesn't get many more chances to screw things up.

 

[bravesfanforlife88]

I can still see AJ/Gomes in an August trade so this deadline is not a disaster

 

[Julio3000]

Gomes might go in a waiver deal, but we want AJ back next year.

 

[Heyward]

Gomes might go in a waiver deal, but we want AJ back next year.

If they can add a starting type via trade, not the end of the world if he was.

Although i'd prefer a Jaso/Avila and CB platoon.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Gomes might go in a waiver deal, but we want AJ back next year.

I don't....i'm still holding out hope the Brewers take a poo poo platter for Lucroy

Yes - I would have much rather did nothing than what we did

I love that Preller passed on Mateo and taking on Gyorko for Kimbrel.
