Told you guys, prepare to be underwhelmed. Gausman is no Manny.

Glad the Braves were able to keep their prospects intact.  

[ISU94]

Killed it. Absolutely killed it.

[Rene88]

All of Braves top prospects in their top 30 from what I can see

You guys act like shedding payroll is a bad thing.  Especially on a broke down reliever.  

[maybenxtyr]

Ownership must have given a directive.

[Flacco Machado]

Carmona is going to be the real deal.

[dorfmac]

I don't like Encarnacion at all. He's still very young, but 100K's and 13BBs is exactly the last type of ratio we need.

[TonySoprano]

O'Day is owed $9M for next year, so yeah salary dump was one factor in the ATL trade.

How is that a really good return?  Look at Schoop, he's an MLB-established strong second baseman with years of team control.

It looks like you got Ortiz, Villar, and Carmona. Schoop only has 1+ years of team control remaining from what I read. Free agent after 2019. That's a huge return. Carmona is a real sleeper and might be the best player you get in return. I personally really really don't like this trade for the Brewers.

I really do not like the Gausman trade.
