Trade Watch (It starts)

[Crazysilver03]

Olivera's 30 years old and injured. It makes less than zero sense for the Braves of all teams to trade their top prospect for him.

Were the Dodgers wearing a mask and carrying a gun? They just got Olivera for nothing but cash, and they turn him into a package like that?

Lol at the Braves. They couldn't afford to sign Olivera, but they can afford to give up a quality young starting pitcher, their best prospect, and their closer. And all they get as far as youth is Zack Bird - who's known more for being an athlete than a pitcher and might never make it to the majors? Wow. Stottle, help me out - what am I missing here?

Perhaps LA is eating some of Olivera's contract. Or maybe they will try to flip him in offseason.

If he's not their best, who is? Supposedly he moved to 2nd only because of Simmons. They do have a younger SS who's been amazing in A ball.

This explains it a lot better. Olivera is very cheap. Braves also sending another reliever. But getting Morse. Trade got held up since comp balance pick can only be traded once.

There's no way Oliviera, Bird, and a draft pick are the best return the Braves could find on the market for Wood and Peraza.

Either the reports are wrong or the Braves need to be investigated. That is the worst deal I've heard of a team agreeing to in recent memory.

How long is Wood under team control?

According to mlbpipeline's recent updated list its their #5,6 and 17 prospects. Also a good check for the O's. http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2015?list=bal

Mancini still getting no love at #13.

Not trade related but home plate ump just got drilled on the left wrist in Astros game by the Angels pitcher.

Hah wow gets it wrapped and right back to work.

Holy hell. Apparently it could be 4 team deal with Wood going to Detroit for Price. No Jim Johnson in deal. Just reliever Avilan from ATL to LAD.

He can't be a free agent until 2020. Arb eligible in 2017.

I gotta agree with luismatos - something stinks here.

Are the Dodgers going to basically pay all of Olivera's contract. If so, that's a slippery slope.

In updated top 100 only Harvey (70) and Bundy (77) crack the top 100 overall list.
