I don't understand this trade at all from either side.
Salary dump for the Padres. Even after sending the $10M to the Braves as part of the deal, they'll wind up saving about $7M a year. I think I saw where they were wanting to DFA Olivera and call up their top OF prospect.
I don't get this move at all for the Braves. They need offense, but anything he provides at the plate is negated by poor defense and they're already pretty bad on defense. My guess is they'll keep him around for a year (maybe less) and try to flip him to an AL team (ideal DH) for a couple of mid-tier prospects. The team had been shopping Olivera ever since that domestic abuse case happened, so maybe that was the absolute best they could do. Some writers suggested they would take a bad deal to rid themselves of him and it looks like they were right.
I think Mets get Bruce as it starting to heat up. White Sox keep Sale but trade Quintana to D*dgers for a package that has Puig as the big piece. Rays do trade one of their starters. Hoping it is Moore to the Giants are rumors are starting to float.

Agreed that they gave up to much for a reliever. I loved Susac 2 seasons ago. He is 26 and still in the minors and has not been able to stay healthy. Giants love the kid Brown who is now the backup catcher so Susac was blocked and expendable. Bickford is still in low A so while he has a lot of upside he is a ways away. Plus who knows if he makes it or not.
Now the trade for Moore I love. Gillapsie has made it to where Duffy was not needed. Add in Nunez and Duffy was prime trade bait.

If there are any winners in this trade season not named the cubs, it has to be texas. They just got lucroy, jeffress, and beltran. They have a stacked line up and a legitimate closer with a legitimate 8th inning guy. Too bad all of their starters are frail. I see Texas making a deep playoff run if not losing to the cubs in the series!
will myself to find a home, a home within myself we will find a way, we will find our place
Beltran now to the Rangers for last years 4th overall pick (and a couple smaller pieces).
Yankees have done really, really well this deadline.
Yeah, it does look like the Yankees did well, but won't really know for a few years though. I think they did the right thing by making these trades as they had to get younger.
timmy needs to walk away. 3 WS rings; 2 Cy's and a healthy bank account. he'll always be remembered fondly in SF.

Coukdnt disagree more. The problem lies in that they were BOTH hall of fame players before they used PEDs. I'm of the opinion that the juicers should get in too. No asterisks but with a simple sentence added to the HOF plaque: "this player played in the steroid era." OR "this person tested positive for PEDs." It's that simple.

Agreed. And I wouldn't even go with the disclaimer. Then you'd have to add things like "this pitcher played in the dead ball era" etc.

To each their own. They don't belong in the hall. They got plenty, fame and a shit ton of cash to play a game. They cheated the fans, they got more than enough. In no way do they deserve to be given the highest honor in the game.

Lol they cheated the fans. What are you a little leaguer who believes in Santa?
The fans loved it. Viewership was down since the '94 strike. MLB turns a blind eye to steroid use, suddenly everyone starts hitting 50-60 home runs, and baseball is loved once again!
