Andrelton Simmons to the Angels for Aybar, Newcomb, Ellis + 3mil

[King]

Angels are also getting s***** catcher Jose Briceno in the deal

[Stangstag]

Freddie Freeman to the Jays next? Plz Shapiro and LaCava get it done!

[Laika]

Sean Newcomb is a very good prospect - he's just nowhere near worth five affordable years of Simmons' physical prime.

 

year/age

2016/26 /$6,000,000

2017/27 /$8,000,000

2018/28 /$11,000,000

2019/29 /$13,000,000

2020/30 /$15,000,000

 

Value comparison with Toronto would be Revere (Aybar) + Pompey (Newcomb) + Angel Perdomo?

 

But Revere has an extra year of control on Aybar and Pompey is arguably worth more than Newcomb.

[BTS]

The Braves roster is so bad. Freeman, Miller, and a bunch of garbage.

[CJ-Freeway]

Haha sick trade for the Halos!

[Cyborg]

Awful.

This is what happens when you don't believe in the value of defense, and value cash too much

This is what happens when you hire the wrong GM.

Hah!

Wow they traded for a prospect with a 5 BB9. What will they give us for Sanchez?

[Atothe]

Shelby miller plus if we throw in a bag of balls we can get Matt Wisler

Freddie Freeman, probably.

[THANOS]

Shelby Miller for Sanchez, Cola and Caleb Gindl LOL

 

I can only imagine if that worked.

[CJ-Freeway]

f*** it. Shapiro should try to get Miller from them at this point.

[Atothe]

f*** it. Shapiro should try to get Miller from them at this point.

 

You mean lacava because Shapiro isn't in on the day to day like that. He's the guy who okays the deal.

[dineke]

Isn't Shelby Miller an *******? He's not even that good either, Freeman's the guy I want.

[BTS]

I'd be shocked if the two of them didn't talk on a daily basis. Shapiro probably has a good idea about everything LaCava is working on over the course of a day.

[THANOS]

At this rate could Sanchez, Cola, +, and $ actually get us Freeman?

 

That would be a monster get and afford us to let EE go after 2016 and move JB to DH in 2017 (if we re-sign him).

Shapiro has the reputation of a dictator so that's why I mentioned him.

He's pretty good. He became real good last year

No.

[THANOS]

No.

 

It's obviously not FMV, but I think that Simmons trade just showed us that they may place more value in scouting potential than saber stats.

 

Sanchez pretty much = Newcomb correct?

Cola would be their new starting 1b

+ could really be anything (maybe SRF?)

 

Would do you think Atlanta would fine desirable for Freeman given what they accepted for 5 controllable years of AS?

I think a discussion that starts with "well, Atlanta just made a terrible move so what package of s*** can we offer for their franchise player?" is kind of silly. I'm sure they have no interest whatsoever in a 32-year old DH. In a sane world, a trade for Freeman starts with Stroman.

Seems like you always want to trade Stroman for some reason. We have other pieces you know.

[dineke]

He's pretty good. He became real good last year

 

So are we not into xFIP, SIERA etc. anymore?

[L54]

They aren't as valuable you know.

[L54]

The offseason- where we trade all of our s*** for young, controllable players.

We're just joking because Atlanta traded their young, controllable player for s***.

[BTS]

I've mentioned him in deals for Carlos Carrasco and Freddie Freeman, two of the top 30 or 40 most valuable assets in the game. The farm isn't exactly flush with the kind of talent that can be packaged for players like that.

[Frenchsoup]

They aren't as valuable you know.

 

Yes, but why give up a Stroman when A. we need him B. Atlanta would certainly take a prospect package.
