Update on Jones to the Braves for Jurrjens, Prado, Plus

[Roll Tide]

This is from 56 minutes ago.

The talks for Jones remain 'fluid', according to sources, although it appears the two sides cannot agree on which pitching prospects to include along with Martin Prado or Jair Jurrjens. Should the Braves acquire a top-tier pitching prospect from Colorado, they could potentially flip him to Baltimore to acquire the talented-yet-unproductive outfielder. It sounds like that may be GM Frank Wren's goal right now, especially if Ken Rosenthal's report of a desired pitching prospect is true.

Jones is "talented but unproductive?"

I know he has his warts, but "talented-yet-unproductive"? That's a bit ridiculous.

[Pedro Cerrano]

It really looks like this is going to happen and, from a strictly "fanboy" standpoint, this makes me sad. I like Adam Jones.

I thought that was interesting as well. It appears that they need to settle on a pitching prospect or two. I wonder if the Orioles wouldnt agree to 1 guy from the top group and a lower level guy? Also Could the Rockies be the third team in a three way deal?

What? agree... is this a sort of conspiracy? ok, maybe some of us overrate AJ a bit but to call him talented but unproductive is just flat out ridiculous IMO

So now it sounds like a 3 team deal is trying to be worked out, since we have little interest in JJ.

This also tells me that its obvious Atlanta wants Jones and that something can happen.

So, what does Colorado have that we should want?(Pomeranz isn't happening)

Is it possible they want Prado?

Maybe we can pick up Russell Wilson and flip him to the Ravens for Ray Rice and a PTBNL?

If this goes down the Bedard trade has netted us what? 12 players?

Yes but which of them have been productive to helping us win?

[Orioles0615]

If a deal happens Braves homers are going to be pissed lol.....and I shall laugh at them even though I like Jones.

They have been after Prado all offseason but the two teams haven't figured out which prospect would come back along with Seth Smith.

Reports are talks are pretty much dead, though.

Bell

Johnson

Anyone else?

Jones is "talented but unproductive?"

297 players have played in at least 300 games since 2008. Jones is 73rd in rWAR. So if Jones is unproductive, then so are about 75% of all major league regulars.
