Per Twitter

quote:

Halos shortstop Erick Aybar is among the players who will be headed back to Atlanta, MLB.com’s Alden Gonzaleztweets.

Lefty Sean Newcomb and righty Chris Ellis are also going to the Braves. The pair were the two top-rated Halos pitching prospects.

Holy shite how many minor league arms do the Braves need? This makes zero sense.

nice deal for both. Angels in win-now mode. Newcomb is a big time lefty arm

Ellis is a quality piece as well. I wouldn't be surprised if we flip Aybar.

This is why the Braves can't have nice things.

Seems like angels fans are pissed saying they gave up way too much

Defense typically peaks early and Simmons hasn't shown much (if any) improvement at the plate, but I still like this deal for the Angels. The best defensive player in baseball locked up on a favorable contract is quite an asset.

Obviously this could end up working for the Braves too though. Newcomb could hit big
