  1. Grossman trade is addition through subtraction—more AB’s for Greene, Baddoo, and possibly Cameron. 3 guys who could have a future vs one that had zero. It’s a shame that Grossman fell off so sharply this year—easy to forget his contributions last season. Hope he can turn things around with the Braves.
  2. Does Anglin have a brother? I’d be fine going with Haase and Garneau until Rogers is ready.
  3. Yes, just suggesting he’d be more likely since it wouldn’t require making room for Carpenter.
  4. Cameron is on the 40 man.
  5. Avila feeling some relief that he swung a deal this deadline. Now off to the Applebee’s with his team for some celebrating.
  6. Not in the Braves top 30.
  7. This is the classic “any live body” will do here.
  8. We might see Chafin after all tonight.
  9. This is so 2022. One of your few expendable trade assets self-implodes on Deadline Eve.
  10. Looks like Jose Quintana heading to the Cardinals. Combined with Skubal’s injury, it would appear that Tarik is staying put.
  11. The definition of high risk, high reward.
  12. Skubal really went to extremes to avoid getting traded.
  13. It does seem odd to pull Skubal there. Pitching a shutout, close game, relatively low pitch count. If it was to audition relievers, why bring in Vest? I’d be surprised if he were to move.
  14. Call Derek Hill up (too soon?)
  15. We’re going to see both Fulmer and Chafin tonight, I suspect. Last chance for a pre-deadline audition.
  16. I’m more concerned about how aggressive Akil gets with Nathan in the Car Shield commercials. Of course the poor guy likes to save money.
  17. A lot of groupthink, for sure. I bought into the Twitter-inspired hype.
  18. He was actually hitting better recently, but can never seem to get it together. If only he could have avoided all of the injuries along the way, maybe his bat would be more advanced than it has shown.
  19. They must believe they can still trade Grossman. Although, we have to clear another 49 man spot this week for Matt Manning.
  20. I think he’ll clear—most teams have 40 man challenges, too.
  21. Hader has been brutal lately. Was on the verge of losing his job to Devin Williams—MLB Radio speculating moving him would avoid any potential uncomfortableness around his demotion. Soto should have more trade value than Hader—having the better season, much cheaper (that matters to teams) and controllable for more years. I would expect a better return.
  22. Yes. High school players have all the leverage.
