Varvarro traded to Red Sox for prospect Aaron Kurcz and cash.

2017... I can't wait.

We basically gave him away for another minor league arm that has already had TJ.

You're such a Debbie Downer Roll.

He's young and his minor league K numbers look promising. Everyone is having TJ these days... it's the new fad.

We're going to be competitive sooner than 2017. Don't be surprised when it happens.

I am really down about these moves. I haven't been a NegaBrave though until this offseason to be honest. Hard not to be right now. I don't get it. Varvarro was fairly cheap and had good numbers the past two seasons.

quote:

Varvaro has posted a 2.74 ERA in 123 appearances over the past two seasons. In 2014 the right-hander averaged 8.2 strikeouts per nine and only walked and 2.1 batters per nine, while inducing ground balls nearly 50% of the time. In short: he’s a pretty useful reliever.

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd
AL Source: Braves appear to be down the road on a deal sending Justin Upton to an AL West club for a package headlined by young pitching.

Probably 15-20 bucks the way this offseason has been going.

The AJC reported an unspecified amount.

The contract is reportedly worth only $8.5 million guaranteed with $10 million available in incentives. It's backloaded too -- Medlen will earn $2 million in 2015 and $5.5 million in 2016, with a $1 million buyout of the $10 million mutual option.

At least we aren't the Tampa Bay Rays and can actually get a new stadium

Hopefully they do better in this deal than they did in the Heyward heist. Somehow I don't think they will....

Thought one name would be Renfroe. Not sure now.

ETA: It looks like the Max Fried is the first piece.

Any info on either of those guys? Are they good? Worth trading Upton for? I have no knowledge of the Padres farm system
