Braves trade reliever Yates to Pirates | ajc.com For Todd Redmond, a righthanded control pitcher. Redmond doesn’t seem to be anything, but Yates was out of options and the Braves really couldn’t afford to keep him around. I still think Bobby misused him last year, but he was clearly not right this spring.
Cubs trade IF Infante to Braves – MLB – Yahoo! Sports Anyway, Jose Ascanio out, Will Ohman and Omar Infante in. Ohman is a pure LOOGY, last year appearing in 56 games but for only 36 1/3 innings. His ERA was a hefty 4.95, but that can be deceiving in a pitcher who rarely throws [...]
The Official Site of Atlanta Braves: Official Info: Press Release: Braves acquire outfielder Josh Anderson from Houston I don’t really get this one. The Braves traded Villarreal straight-up for Anderson, who is your basic fourth-outfielder type, or what in my youth, before 13-man pitching staffs, was called a “fifth-outfielder”, or even “sixth-outfielder” type, comparable to [...]
Braves trade SS Renteria to Tigers | ajc.com Well, that clears up that logjam. The Braves sent Renteria and some amount of money to Detroit for two prospects at positions of need. Jair Jurrjens, or the J-Man, as I intend to call him, is a righthanded pitcher from Curacao, probably not ace material but a [...]
Leading from comments on the last post… In all of the trades which John Schuerholz has made, probably the one that seems most clearly indefensible was on March 27, 1997: Traded Jermaine Dye and Jamie Walker to the Kansas City Royals. Received Keith Lockhart and Michael Tucker. I am here to defend this trade. Not [...]
I saw Barry in San Francisco, and he struck out, and he grounded out, and he doubled, and then he…
Teixeira trade finalized with Rangers | ajc.com I don’t report these things until DOB or Peanut do, but it appears to be all done but the paperwork. (Peanut weighs in here.) It’s a whole lot. The deal would include Saltalamacchia, Andrus, Matt Harrison, and an unknown prospect, apparently not Dan Smith or Thomas Hanson since [...]
Braves trade LaRoche to Pirates | ajc.com The return is Mike Gonzalez and another, unnamed player. Well, he has a name, we just don’t know what it is. Hopefully it is a pitcher and not the likely-useless Chris Duffy. Thorman would appear to be the new first baseman. This trade was obviously delayed just so [...]
More open thread – Braves Journal Not that I take MLB Rumors at all seriously, but the two most clueless franchises in baseball are the Devil Rays and Pirates. I’ve dealt with the D-Rays before; they aren’t getting Chuck James. They always overreach in trades, and this tendency did not begin with Scott Kazmir; that [...]
Atlanta Braves : News : Atlanta Braves News I’m not opposed to trading Saltalamacchia or Escobar; the latter, I’m pretty sure, is at the peak of his value. (I don’t think he has the power to be a good regular in today’s major leagues, so he has to hit .300 or better to be worth [...]
