The Braves need him the most. Let's get one of those young arms this time!

I don't expect much for Givens.  If you were in the playoffs would you really trust him in a high leverage spot?  Even when he's going good I never completely trusted him.  Always suspect against LHB.  I'll take two more 17 yo or a low A player with upside.

Yeah. His strikeout numbers look good, but he is not exactly reliable out there. Personally, I like the guy, but I'm pretty eager to jump ship from the USS Givens while he's having a decent stretch. I don't know that he's going to be very good for whomever trades for him. Perfectly fine with a Cashner return.

If three teams are indeed interested in Givens I would expect the return to be higher than two lottery tickets.  Elias had been trying to dump Cashner's contract since before the season started.

That would be great if the return is higher. I'm just pretty fine with it if it's not. Because I see a scenario in which he suddenly tanks in his final 2 or 3 appearances before the deadline and his market vanishes. Let's flip him and be quick about it. Dude makes me nervous.

This is his fifth season in the majors.  You think two or three poor appearances is going to significantly change how teams evaluate him?

And the last two of those years have been his worst by far. The peripherals are looking good and all but he's proven that he can't really close games reliably (5 blown saves this year), and he's prone to losing command at random. So yeah, if he blows up before the deadline, teams are going to look elsewhere for their backend bullpen help.

I'm going to disagree.  I think teams these days look past hot and cold spells and at the total body of work and how that player projects going forward.

With the extra year of control, you may be right. I still could see his value plummeting if he tanks it hard. He probably won't do that though, and it'll be fine.

I think I’ve changed my mind about Villar. He has almost no value, but he will almost certainly be non-tendered by the team, so I think he will be traded on the grounds that something is better than nothing. The return will be minimal, but if he’s non-tendered, the return will be zero.

Addition by subtraction.

The poll closes this Friday (7/26/19) at Noon.

• It's evident that nearly everyone expects Givens to be dealt, with 134 votes out of 143 voters.
• Over half of the voters feel Villar will also be moved.
• Everyone else listed comes in under 12%, with Mancini the 3rd likeliest.

I’d like to see us deal Givens and maybe Fry.

Id love to cash in on Trey but don’t see us getting fair value

Moniak would be interesting.  He seems to have figured something out at AA but may not have the ceiling that people once thought.  Irvin could step in immediately to replace Eshelman or Brooks in the rotation.  

I'd do that deal.
