The entire Yankees' farm system for Strasburg.
Good luck to whoever lands that beat up Chevy.

Yanks are not paying him.
They should. He makes the most sense there honestly.

It's going to be interesting to watch a Braves team that's in full rebuild mode. First time since the 80's.
Should make tickets cheaper at least.
This is hardly a full rebuild. If so, they would have unloaded Freeman, Kimbrel and Simmons too. They still have good pitching. It's a half-rebuild at best.

Well depends on the system you are trading the prospects from. In the Cubs perspective that would be an overpay for someone that had TJ and bad mechanics. If the Cubs wanted to build a deal around Russell and Schwarber along with a few other names it would probably get done.

Why wouldn't the Nats keep Zim and Stras, at least for this season? That's a beastly rotation.
I think they want something instead of losing Zim.

Scherzer is going to eat up The NL East.

Scott Boras runs the Nationals, not really surprising they signed Scherzer. The Nationals will be in payroll hell in a couple of years though.

whoever wanted Scherzer dont fret, Dillon Geee can be yours!
Only two contracts really hurt us. But it definitely means we lose the flexibility on signing a lot of our guys. One of Stras/Harper is gone. Rendon is going to want big money. And that's about it. Got some good arms coming up to replace a few guys in our rotation and then we have trea turner and wilmer difo for the middle. Then a couple of outfielders. All of em under control for a good chunk of years and are cheap.
It's nice to know that as of now, every day the Nats have an "ace" on the mound.
Was just about to post this.
Wonder who else is going/coming back.
They really needed to trade one of their 40 catchers first, but I'm OK with getting back some MLB ready talent for Fowler.
Not sure why you're interested in arguing semantics. But hey, considering the context of the Braves' history since '91 and the amount of moves made this offseason, I have no hesitation in calling it a full rebuild (even with Kimbrel still here). And nobody expected Freeman or Simmons to go anywhere after the contracts they got last offseason anyways. It was a full reconstruction of the farm system that was badly needed.

Hmm. IDK how to feel about this trade. I like Valbuena and he would have been great insurance just in case one of our specs busts. Astros are getting a really underrated player in Valbuena. He carried our offense during stretches and can play multiple infield positions.
