Theriot's doing his best to mantain his roster spot, haha
Wait, are you serious? Storen for Span is a no brainer unless the second player is better than he is.McNei1y said:The span trade: Kill Me. I wouldn't give up Storen for Span. I would do Clippard and Bernadina for Span though.
The Marquis trade: I like it. My only problem is that we have to use Maya now.

@AJCBraves said:The general reaction from current Braves when they hear there are 4 or even 6 "untouchable" prospects is rolled eyes or surprise.
No shit. Stop being so fucking stingy and get a damn bat. Pitching is great, but scoring no runs makes it pointless.
they are being stingy with their players for a reason, they are going to need them soon. Lowe and Hudson have one more year on their contracts. (option for hudson though). Chipper is close to retirement, Gonzalez is already dead and is in the last year of his contract. Hanson and Jurrjens are only going to get more expensive and are not going to sign a long term deal because of Boras. We don't have a $170 million payroll like the phillies. We are building a team that will be competitive for the next decade, we don't want to just give away all of our great talent for one year of success.
Perhaps the players would like to take a pay cut if they are so concerned about winning.

I can understand one or two untouchables. I'm totally on board with keeping Julio Teheran. But "four or six" untouchables? Jeez.

This is all the truth.
And those arms will have more value this offseason instead of trading a ton for one and a half years of Michael Bourn.
we have enough talent besides those players anyway to make a competitive offer.
edit: and not to mention that all of those players besides Salacedo are either already ready or will be by this time next year.
well i think the only really untouchables are Teheran, Pastrinicky and Salcedo (Patrinicky and Salacedo mainly because we have very few position prospects and we will need them soon) but wren will not give up the others unless its a fair deal. And it would have to be a lot in return to make it a fair deal for those players.I can understand one or two untouchables. I'm totally on board with keeping Julio Teheran.

Lets get real. All the fans in that audience were Mets fans anyway. There's no such thing as a Natinals fan. Let alone one that shows up to a ball game.
Morosi said:BULLETIN: Drew Pomeranz scratched from start at AA Akron. #Indians are known to be serious about Ubaldo Jimenez.
No friggin way. Pomeranz was warming up for his start tonight and then they just yanked him midway through his warmups. Something is brewing.

Sharp said:You're right darkside, there are no Nats fans. None whatsoever. Some of us pretend to be Nats fans but we never attend the ballgames. Thank you for clarifying that point.
Man it's just a joke about how awful Nats attendance is.
Although to be fair to the Nationals most people wouldn't pay to see the current product on the field for good reason.

Dodgers and Cardinals have a deal for Rafael Furcal. But Furcal still has to waive his no-trade clause. He has 24 hours.

Buster said:If the CLE-COL deal of Ubaldo Jimenez gets done, Kipnis probably won't be a part of it.

Deal is done. Ubaldo is going to the Indians.
Looks like a package built around Pomeranz / White (but no Kipnis).

INDIANS GET: RHP Ubaldo Jimenez
ROCKIES GET: LHP Drew Pomeranz, RHP Alex White, OF Matt McBride
Pomeranz cannot be announced as part of the deal until August 16. So it will be officially announced as White, McBride and a PTBNL.
