The #Braves have traded INF Erick Aybar to the Tigers in exchange for INF/OF Mike Aviles & minor-league C Kade Scivicque.


#20 Tigers prospect. Likely slides in around 45 in the Braves system. Ceiling seems to be backup catcher.

Swanson call up soon?

I like being able to get something for Aybar or at the least save some money. Just wondering what our shortstop situation the rest of the way will be

I'd assume Beckham or Aviles fill in until Sept call ups and then we'll see Swanson

I think Swanson and Albies will both finish the season in Mississippi.

Swanson has not been great recently and Coppy talked about wanting the best prospects to experience playoff baseball together and Mississippi is likely the only affiliate that will make the playoffs (possibly Rome).

I think you will see most of that Mississippi club stay down there the rest of the year and possibly even see some guys join them from Carolina for the stretch run and maybe even Rome.

My guess is Castro/d'Arnaud/Beckham/Aviles the rest of the way.

I was surprised they called Swanson up. I thought they were gonna let him play the rest of the year in AA and start next year in AAA. Gotta think Ozzie Albies will get called up sometime soon.

Albies has been quite a bit better than Dansby. Feel kind of bad for him but I'm too excited to care.
