That Alex Wood/Hector Olivera trade looks so bad right now. So bad, I had to google the trade to make sure I was remembering Olivera's name right.

I guess the Shelby Miller heist makes up for it.

Swanson needs to be better to make this statement true.

Not with the way Inciarte has played.

Maybe to make it a full-blown heist, but even Miller for Inciarte looks pretty lopsided right now. And Swanson is still pretty young.

I was in a horrific accident that night so I saw the report of the trade but I didn't see what we were giving up until the very next day. Still can't believe it

Ender made that trade great even if Swanson never works out.

True but I was saying Swanson needs to be better to make up for the Wood/Oliviera disaster.

Ender has been awesome for sure though.

I would rather have Ender than Wood right now and in the future. Doesn't make the Wood trade any better that was a disaster trade that made zero sense. I think Folty for Gattis is one of the more underrated moves Coppy has made.

Folty looks like he's going to be really good. He's pitching well tonight too.

If Sonny Gray isn't going to happen (supposedly headed to Milwaukee), I wonder what cost controlled pitching the Braves are going to go after now? Archer? Stroman?

Getting Kemp for Olivera also helped make up for the Wood/Olivera trade. So I'd say it's been somewhat mitigated already.

What happened to Sandoval? He's still young. How much will the Giants have to pay him?

Good point. I forgot that's where Kemp came from.

Matt Kemp's atrocious defense wipes out any value his bat carries though.

Kemps already crashed and his defense is still less than zero

A month ago I thought the Braves could flip Kemp to an AL team but it looks like the Braves are stuck with him. He his ice cold right now and grounds into double plays at an insane rate.

No way Archer is getting dealt, TB is 1st WC as of now.

Blue Jays have sucked recently, but haven't heard much chatter about Stroman lately

Everyone otb knew the Wood/Olivera trade was awful at the time

Still cannot believe anyone in the Braves FO thought it was a good idea.

I'm telling you baws, brock stewart or Austin barnes might get moved to lessen the prospect cost
