    Just get rid of Teheran!

      We’ll gove you Clint frazier for the inconsistent SP owed $21M through 2021 (includes 2021 club option $1M buyout)

      I’d rather him than Cole, because of that extra year even though he’s the inferior talent to Cole. We all know OF surplus is burning a hole in their pocket.

      How would Braves/Yankee fans feel about this trade

      I swear I’m not trying to make Frazier the new Refsnyder/Ellsbury— basing it of Cole rumors. I prefer Teheran to Cole if you HAVE TO trade Frazier.

        I hope AA would see Frazier as nothing more than a lottery piece in a deal. He can’t hit for consistent average, strikes out too often, has a downward trending walk rate and doesn’t have exceptional power or speed. Still the Braves depth chart is currently dwindling as far as OF options.

        If the Yankees dangled a deal like Frazier, Betances, Thairo Estrada, and Sheffield or Adams for Teheran, Sam Freeman and a mid-level SP prospect I think the Braves would have to consider it. Though honestly, I don’t think the Yankees should do it. Teheran’s biggest issue historically has been surrendering home runs (hence his ridiculous home/road splits last year) and that would definitely be exploited in new Yankee Stadium, Just seems like a bad match. The Braves and Yankees each have holes at 3B right now too which makes this a difficult matchup.

          I certainly hope the Braves would consider that. That’s quite the return…

        • Mack83

          5 years ago

          There is on way NY is going to offer that for Teheran and Freeman. AA isn’t likely to hit the prospect surplus in trades either.

          5 years ago

          I hope Atlanta throws in Ozzie Albies and Luiz Gohara with that return.

      I’ll give you Teheran for Sanchez, Frazier, and Adames, plus cash considerations

          Trolling hard with that trade offer

    Buster Olney suggested *IF* Moose signs a 1 year contract, Yankees are the way he’ll go, and now the Yankee blogs are picking it up.

    Even NJ.com talked about the possibility (Referencing Olney) Problem is, I don’t see Moose signing a 1 year contract after his 2017 career year, legendary 2018 FA class and Teams trying to stay under cap, or not.

    ZERO!!! Chance. Right guys?

      Would love moose to sign with the Yankees on a one year deal. He would hit 45 HR in that lineup and see more pitches then Sanchez Stanton or Judge to hit

    I don’t see the Jays trading Bo Bichette in a deal for Yelich. He & Guerrero Jr. are close to untouchable

      Agreed – they *should* be untouchable. Both guys have ridiculous ceilings and are still so young.

        Yes, but if they want to go all in, picking up Yelich would be a good start. I think they have the trade capital and financial breathing room to contend this year, but that’s risky since they’d have to blow up the farm and pray to god they win the wild card game.

    The latter article regarding Longoria makes a crucial point – the Giants are willing to spend and trade to make it look like they’re building a winning organization instead of actually doing it the right way. 3 world series championships is awesome, but when this bubble finally bursts, it’s gonna be ugly for quite a while.

      What are you talking about ‘when’? It is tough to get a lot worse than last season. Right now or is about what they do going forward, I am not crazy about the longoria deal but I also think that it isn’t as bad giving up who they did, I think the organization was set on moving arroyo because they made the choice that they have one panik on the field and they need to move on from that type of player, they were much higher on keeping Ramos

        I think last season can be chalked up to some bad luck in the injury department. Giants are expected to be much better this year with some positive regression. What’s worse than last place, though, in my opinion, is trading away young talent and investing in aging veterans to try to maintain a somewhat competitive team. The Sox (and Bears) did this for years – every year you were hopeful that they could snatch a wildcard spot, but never did you have confidence that they could go deep into the postseason.

    Braves get Adrian Morejon, Yangervis Solarte, and Anderson Espinoza

    Padres get Teheran, Swanson, Wentz, and Touissant

      Ain’t no way the Braves are giving up on Swanson. Not a bad idea but not with Swanson.

        Idk much about albies, but if they switch him to ss, assuming hes capable, they can play solarte at 2B and Camargo at 3B or put camargo at ss and solarte at 3B. They have wiggle room.

        Other then that i dont see why padres would part with morejon when teheran deal is up at start of 2021. Theyd get more use out of morejon during their window which is 2019-2020(teherans last 2 seasons) to 2024-2025. And espinoza and morejon have more appeal then wentz and touissant.

        So itd be both teams taking risks. Padres hoping swanson lives up to his billing and braves hoping espinoza lives up to his billing.

    I’ve always dreamt of winning BIG in the lottery. I surfed the internet for help to win the lottery massively and I was directed to the DR Amber website. I had a chat with him about what I needed and he assured me that his spell will make me become a lottery winner. He got back to me after 3 days with the numbers that I needed to play the lottery and told me to believe in myself. I felt enveloped by the control of the spell. I took his words and played the Mega Millions Lottery. Two days later, I was sent an email that I’ve won the sum of 107 Million Dollars. I was shocked and couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing. Immediately I was given the cash prize, I stopped working. I want to say a very big thank you to DR Amber for helping people like us who really need help. Now I know that there’s absolutely nothing too hard for DR Amber to do. To get in touch with him, email : [ amberlottotemple@yahoo.com ] or click his webpage URL___ amberlottotemple.com
