#Athletics talking with #Braves about Justin Upton, Evan Gattis sources say. Jeff Samardzija may be the bait.

1 year of Shark for 1 year of Upton and 4 years of Gattis?

Would be a horrendous deal for ATL.

Yeah there would have to be a lot more involved from Oakland's side for that to make sense. Seems like Oakland has several guys like Gattis already also that are 1b/DH types

He's combining the 2 trades. We got Miller for JHey

We really can't give 2 of our 3 good hitters away for an ace. We would have great pitching with nobody to hit.

So the Braves offense would go from bad to absolute shite?

I mean it has been pretty much assumed that Upton will be moved. I hope Gattis is moved as well as the last thing I want is to see him playing LF every day.

I would much prefer a bunch of prospects and/or team controlled big leaguers though to Shark in his walk year. Makes little to no sense.

You would have to think Moss and Reddick were somehow involved

Same. I'm not sure how Moss fits with the Braves as I think he's a shitty OF. I dunno it just seems like a weird fit for both sides if it were to happen. I'm not sure who Oakland has that would be really attractive to ATL

Gray would be the best pitcher on our staff if acquired. No way he is available.

Yeah, they aren't trading him, certainly not for one year of Upton and Gattis.

Either way, we better not be trading them to Oakland or we're all bound to be disappointed and pissed.

1 year of Upton > 1 year of Shark
Gattis is overrated - decent hitter who can't play a position. Oakland might be able to do something with him though.
Oak should give up a decent prospect to make that deal.
