Kurkjian says the Braves saved over $80M and went from having a bottom five farm system to a top five farm system this offseason.

Bunch of whiney ass Braves fans are mad, but some brilliant moves have been made this offseason.

Only one I'm still not completely content with is Heyward.

 

[Weezy]

I love this for the Braves. I could find the glass half empty, but I'm not going to.

Was thinking the same thing. Especially with all the pitching prospects we now have.

But I love the Gattis/Kimbrel trades

If we can draft some bats, ya boy will be thrilled with the farm system.

Just a right handed power bat away from it being complete

Also, I wonder of this clears the way for Peraza to move to CF.

 

[Blake25p]

Bye bye Fredi

 

[GAVol]

Bye bye Fredi

I think it's just the opposite. This officially gives Fredi a pass for 2015.

 

[AV_12]

We have 4 of the top 54 picks coming up in the draft.... Crazy

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Sad day.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

Not gonna be the same without Killa Craig

Unfortunately I agree

I really enjoyed watching him pitch, but it was just pointless to pay a guy that much money to get three outs in the ninth inning on a team that's very rarely going to have a ninth inning lead. Glad they committed all the way to rebuilding.

This team is stocked for the future.

 

[bleedorange0037]

LOL at LaStella hitting lower in the order tonight than Jon Lester.

 

[WarDamnVols]

As much as I understand that this is a great deal...

I'm so sad. I wanted us to keep Kimbrel forever.

and now, my fantasy team has 0 braves. looks like I'm picking up Jace now.

Same here. I hate to see him go. They just traded the best player at his position.

It could also be the Braves working towards a reason to fire him. An even more obvious reason.

 

[LotteryPick]

On the bright side, Kimbrel is a wealthy man in San Diego, California now.

Good life move for him.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Possibly, but if they didn't fire him after last year, it would seem horribly unfair to can him after this year when he has absolutely nothing to work with. They should have just moved on last season and started the rebuild with a new manager.

Not seeing that. They had a very clear opportunity to unload him last October.

 

[TBrown]

Go Cubs

 

[LotteryPick]

Yeah, I just can't see Fredi here long term, for some reason.

Hope I'm right.
