This seems very terrible.

Please let Olivera's elbow need an amputation.

Trying to give the Dodgers ammo to keep the Nats from the World Series? I have no clue. This seems like a very bad trade for Atlanta

If it doesn't make sense, it's probably not done.

I refuse to believe that's the actual trade.

Bird would be about the level prospect in a Jim Johnson, maybe a bit lower but still.

So they're basically saying Wood and Peraza for Olivera and the draft pick. No fricking way.

Maybe our guys don't have the value you guys think they have. They have more than this though.

Dodgers beat reporter says this is the deal

Braves acquire: IF Hector Olivera (from Dodgers), No. 35 pick in 2016 draft (from Marlins), RP Paco Rodriguez (from Dodgers), Minor League P Zach Bird (from Dodgers)

Dodgers acquire: SP Mat Latos (from Marlins) UTIL Mike Morse (from Marlins), SP Alex Wood (from Braves), Minor League IF Jose Peraza (from Braves), RP Jim Johnson (from Braves), RP Luis Avilan (from Braves)

Marlins acquire: Minor League P Jeff Brigham (from Dodgers), 2 MiLB pitchers (from Dodgers)

Bowman says it won't get done tonight as the teams are still ironing the deal out.

Olivera is already 30 but he'll start in the MLB at 2B or 3B. If the Dodgers can re-sign Howie Kendricks, Olivera is expendable. Paco is a good LOOGY. Bird has a ceiling as a good #4 rotation guy. Brigham is organizational depth, nothing more.

That's depressing. Even if Olivera is a 25 hr guy, it's still a tough pill to swallow if Peraza pans out. I can't believe we couldn't get better arms back.
