but I am still wondering why we moved Prado last minute.


Because we weren't going to be able to afford to resign him after this season. So instead, we use him to get a big time player who will be in our lineup for years to come.

Yea, just saw this on twitter:

#Braves were willing to trade Prado after determining his asking price for multi-year ext. was $11M-$12M annually, higher than they would go

We lost an All-Star and gained an All-Star with a big upside and big downside. Upton can be an MVP type player and at worst is at least on par with Prado.
