Yet another nice move by GM John Hart.

I expect ATL will dovetail this trade with another as they’re looking for a return of about $600K in bonus money so as to avoid penalization. Since Hart and Coppolella came to the Braves the team’s in a better place to make such a deal. Maybe it’ll be with team like the Yankees that won’t be in the mix for any of the top 50 international prospects.

Make a few more trades to get intl money for no penalty, and then we can dive in next year when every other big market club can’t sign anybody!

Fantastic trade on both ends. A’s get a young depth arm for money they weren’t going to spend. Braves get closer to avoiding penalties and can afford to give up an arm, as they have plenty, and as Martin isn’t really a big name by any means. Win-win, makes perfect sense for each club.
