Hope we get a huge haul... these guys are not free agents. 

They all cost money. Money.

I haven't seen anything official and don't have a source, but I think there's a strong chance the Brewers are finalizing a deal for Gausman. Simply connecting the dots, it would make a ton of sense.

Rotoworld just mentioned them as well, but highlighted the Mike Moustakas acquisition as being a potential blocker

I find this depressing if both Schoop and Gausman are gone.  

You would.

That probably blocks Schoop, but not Gausman. Just because both are being reported as on the brink of being dealt, doesn't mean they are being packaged.

Some aggressive trading could really accelerate the rebuild.

Camden Depot just mentioned it but yes let us all remember to watch for non-verified twitter accounts with deals in the final hour. They seem to get us every year.

I mean, I would too.  But I'd get over it if the haul is right.

But no Manny, Schoop, Britton, Gausman, even Tillman.  It's still sad.

Exactly. I assumed that at this point, they would both be going in separate places if they were dealt.

Well, I like ribbing @atomic whenever I can.  even though he's got me on ignore I know he still looks at my responses to him because he can't help himself.

Slightly sad but we'll learn to love these new guys just like we did with the old ones.  We root for laundry.

It could. I don't know if I believe the hype here, though. 

Been reported numerous places that they would have to be "overwhelmed" to deal guys with time left on their deals. 

It would signal legitimate change in philosophy, that's for sure. I'll believe it when it's "official."

I, along with many other posters, love the Braves system... a Gausman deal to Atlanta would potentially be VERY good indeed.
