Bluejays look good but they need a Postseason push.What about Bluejays get Carlos Beltran and Andre Miller from the Yankees for a Marcus stroman package
Jorge Soler Powered
What about no.
noonecarez
I think they can get Beltran but not chapman. But imagine the top of the order: Bautista,Donaldson, Beltran, Encarnacion…
braves4life1
Giants get: Nick Markakis and Arodys Vizcaino
Braves Get: Christian Arroyo
With Pence going down again and needing additional bullpen help for playoffs, might be a good fit for both teams.

Something to the effect of
Rangers get Teheran, Markakis, Olivera
Braves get back ibanez, de leon, trevino, payano.
If atlantas asking price for teheran is so high why not see if teams will clear them of these bad committments.
They did it with kimbrel and upton.

Braves have cleared enough money that their focus is to maximize the return for Teheran, not to accept terrible returns like that one.
They have zero interest in that incredibly weak package and would prefer to keep Teheran to pitch like an ace, keep Markakis to lead as a veteran presence in the OF, and hope that Olivera isn’t terrible in his return from suspension.
A package from Texas starts at Gallo and goes from there if they acquire Teheran as there is no reason to deal him without a blowaway package in return.

While spending $11 million the next 2 years on markakis whos batting .252/.331/.359. Its not going to get better.
And spending roughly $60 million on a known female abuser. He wasnt impressive for the braves last year hitting .253/.310/.405. Certainly doesnt look like he’s worth $60 million.
Theyd be saving $82 million over the next 5 years by shedding both contracts.
Nobody is giving atlanta what it wants for teheran.
Save money on the committments by trading teheran and lock up key pieces for the future with the cash saved.
Also teheran is not an ace. Hes a solid #2. Hes sporting an xfip of 4.09. Thats not ace material.

Dodgers are paying roughly 30m of Oliveras salary as a signing bonus, so the Braves obligation is only 30mil.

I’m amazed at how uninformed your comment was. Like actually astounded.
Part of why the braves are paying Markakis is his consistently high hits and walks, and part is his leadership. Ownership is perfectly fine with his production leadership at his current salary.
First off, it’s only around 24 million or so left at this point. Second off, his off the field issues are quite horrible, but if he produces on the field a la Chapman in NYC, all will be forgiven and forgotten.
Did you forget to read where they don’t need to or want to shed the money? And it’s far less than that ridiculously high number you guessed up in your head too.
If they don’t give ATL the haul they want, then ATL will keep our ace, a true #2, who is 100% pitching like an ace.
We have no key pieces for the future to lock up at this point. Our pitching is undergoing growing pains, so no one knows their values yet. Our hitting is in AA, so not locking them up yet. Our core is Freddie and Julio, both already on long-term contracts.
He’s a high2/low1 whether you like it or not. His xfip means nothing at this point because he has continually outperformed ERA estimators like FIP and xFIP throughout his career.
Each point you had was wrong. Wow

You keep saying “ownership”
They’re owned by Liberty Media. Liberty Media and the Atlanta Braves have come out repeatedly to state Liberty is hands off in all baseball operation decisions.
So you’re misinformed, “ownership” is not happy with Nicks leadership and production. Ownership doesn’t care about the Braves player personnel.

You do realize that Pence, even after being taken out of a game during his rehab assignment, is still set to return as soon as next Sunday and should join the Giants on their next homestand so Markakis makes no sense for the Giants whatsoever at this point.
thebighurt619
Doubt atlanta would want to do that.
If anything they should package teheran and markakis and olivera together.
It drives down teheran but to get rid of olivera and markakis completely off the books might be worth it in the long run if the braves want to look for help to compete in 2017.
You can still get a decent package but losing markakis and olivera committments seem to make more sense honestly.
Sam.rhodes16
No reason at all to do that as that money isn’t really an issue after they cleared out BJ and CJ from the payroll.

I’m happy for him, but really pleasantly surprised at how much DJ Peterson has turned it around in the Mariners organization. His younger brother Dustin Peterson I still think will be the better overall player even if not quite as powerful.

Amen to Berrios getting into the big league rotation. Let him get the rookie jitters beat out of him so he can get on with his career…
