I hope we move Julio, Aybar and Markakis


Julio for Profar would be amazing.


Now that I think about it, with Choo's health, why haven't we tried Julio and Nick mark for Profar and Gallo?

Very unlikely. I'd say 3% chance if I had to put a number on it

MY guess - the Braves are open to trading Markakis, Julio, Kemp, Aybar and Jim Johnson.

There's less than 0% chance we move Kemp. We got him as a "name" to bring fans in for more money in a down year. It's the same reason we are linked to McCann and probably the reason we brought in Frenchy.

A Julio trade only happens if we get a haul akin to the one we got for Shelby Miller, but I don't see that happening.

Honestly, I think Johnson is the only guy that gets moved today.

No one is going to give what we want for Julio, and we have no motivation to move him.

I would love to see Aybar gone, but he has no value, and if he is even moved, it will be before the August 31st deadline to a team desperate for a middle infielder.

We should be moving Vizcaino with how the market is for relievers, and since we have no need for him, but it looks like we want to hold onto him.

I doubt Markakis gets moved today, unless a team loses out on Jay Bruce, and is just desperate, and we throw in money. I doubt we would get anything for him, but with Kemp here, we have four guys for three positions.

i doubt anyone else is even being considered, expect maybe for Francoeur. He is a good matchup pinch hitter off the bench, and he would just resign with us in the offseason.

I just have this weird feeling that Frenchy is here to end his career in the next year or two so he can go out where he came from. I don't think he'll get traded anywhere.

We are still apparently talking mccann.

So the trades most likely to happen today
1) Jimmy John
2) hunter
3) trade for mac

That the thing, if we trade him, we have the inside track to bring him back next year, since we know he wants to be home. Im sure Coppy can convince him to go somewhere for two months, and then come back home. If we can get a lottery ticket for him, then why not?

Not a huge fan. Dont see him as a starter. Good reliever potential, but Id just rather keep Hunter, since he is a lefty that misses bats.
