Atlanta Braves Thread - The "John Hart/ John Coppollela da real MVPs" Edition

[zjcvols]

We got their best prospect, got a couple assets, and saved potentially $90M for a closer.

Win

 

[TBrown]

Wasn't the trade I expected but I like it, especially just sending Melvin's deal packing.

Need a new thread title.

Yessssssssssssd

 

[AV_12]

I like it...

I think it's an emphatic win

 

[GAVol]

Price you gotta pay to get rid of Upton , I guess

Yep. This is all on Frank Wren.

 

[AV_12]

We have chips On deck now

The Paroubek has legit tools, just raw. He could work too.

Plus a good draft pick.

 

[zjcvols]

Just saved money to re-sign Heyward amirite

That's gotta be a gutpunch in the locker room though. Quentin could be moved in another deal. He needs to DH somewhere.

The timing is awful but this makes us better in the long run.

Tomorrow's lineup should be interesting!

 

[Regulator]

Plenty of good seats at The Ted! Come on out for some Barves baseball!

I think I'll hold off until next year .

I'm with brown and others on the win.

Make whoever wants Craig take Melvin's money. Padres wanted him now, so they'll pay for it.

 

[zjcvols]

On Paroubeck, he's a 20 year old switch hitting power OF with a ton of tools. Had a nice year in rookie ball last year.

 

[Regulator]

Plus for me! I just inherited a $2 fantasy baseball closer! Now I'll be looking for holds.

@Joelsherman1: #Braves save $19.35M swap Upton for Maybin/Quentin. More vital owe nothing after ’16 heading to new stadium in ‘17

Baaaaaaaaaaaaang

Congratulations, btw.

Yup. Quentin can be bought out too after this year. Maybin is a nice, cheap flyer.

The Braves just shed $80mil over the next three years! WOW!!

 

[Regulator]

Your 2015 San Diego Padres!!!

Bravo, sirs. Bravo.

Love this deal. Kimbrell will not be close to the same guy at the end of his current contract. Git, BJ.

 

[GAVol]

This makes total baseball sense, but I can't believe they were ballsy enough to unload Kimbrel. I figured he, Teheran, Freeman and Simba were untouchable just to keep the peace.

It makes complete sense and we got two legit prospects for him plus save $90M. It's not a fleecing but it's a hell of a deal.
