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.

 

Im sure a Pompey, Alford, Goins, Tellez package almost certainly gets the conversation started.

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

 

I really don't think Frenchsoup is kidding.

 

I've seen enough offseasons to know how the proposals go.

 

Ben Revere+Chris Colabello+Drew Hutchison+SRF for insert top 40 pitcher.

 

They get back a cheap outfielder, a first basemen, a SP and a good prospect ALL for one pitcher! How could they say no? We filled all their holes.

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

 

Atlanta would certainly take a prospect package for Freddie Freeman? And Alford, Pompey, and Sanchez is going to be the best they get offered? Teams like Boston, St. Louis, and Washington would be willing to sell the farm for a guy like that.

I've never seen any of those teams make the a "sell the farm trade"

You don't think Boston or St. Louis would be all over Freddie Freeman? 26-year old franchise 1B locked up for 6 more years.

Yeah I wonder what prospects other teams would have given up for Donaldson

Kind of a market value contract though

A ton. I really hate when that gets brought up as an excuse for discussion about the merits of sending our spare parts away for an elite player.

I think he'd get a lot more than that entering the market at 26 years old. Probably 200+ million from Boston.

Yeah, he's worth a lot. Tell me a Boston package for Freeman then.

You don't think other teams offered more for Simmons? Atlanta is just being dumb. I wouldn't put it past them to trade Freeman for less than he's worth

Is Freeman ARB eligible next season? That is one of the main reasons JD even hit the market.

He's signed for 6 more years, ages 26-31.

He's signed long term on a pretty nice contract. He's young, played in a terrible hitter park...tons of upside there.

I have no idea. JBJ, Rodriguez, and a couple of guys from the farm?

It's insane how quickly this Braves FO is trashing that franchise.

 

- Bad Markakis contract

- Didn't get enough for Heyward

- Didn't get anything good for Upton

- Wanted Manny Banuelos for some reason so traded good controllable relief for him (Shreve)

- Weird Kimbrel trade, obfuscated by Maybin-Upton contract swap

- Wood + Peraza for Olivera and then they move Olivera to LF???

- Probably got schooled in the Johnson for Swisher and Bourn deal, but I'm too lazy to check

- This Simmons trade

 

The one good move: Getting Toussaint for free

 

It's like their entire plan is to start over from scorched earth. John Hart and a thousand pitching prospects.

Apparently Atlanta really values power pitching prospects. Sanchez seems like a good fit for them.

 

Sanchez, Smoak, Pompey for Freeman?

 

wtf

They traded Simmons away for a shittier package than that.

 

So now we get to spend forevermore discussing s*** packages we can send them for Freeman?

How do you not have the Kimbrel trade as complete buttseks?

I would keep Smoak around so that we could package him with Ryan Goins for Shelby Miller.
