na na na na....hey heyward goodbye

Atlanta Braves trade Jason Heyward, Jordan Walden to St. Louis Cardinals for Shelby Miller, Tyrell Jenkins - ESPN

Great defender but mediocre hitter. He isn't going to be worth what he is going to ask for after this year, so good move IMO.

 

[tabascojet]

yeah we didnt get much but cant argue with the move either...he never lived up to that first year at the plate. save money now and get something for him before FA,

I like getting Miller with 4 years of team control. I wonder if Gattis will be dealt too with Bethancourt being ready to take the reins behind the plate?

 

[Mistaken4193]

Are we going to move J UP????

 

[Chewbaccer]

The La Stella-Vizcaino deal makes more sense now.

Vizcaino will be taking Walden's spot in the bill pen.

Maybe this will be a move that works out for the Braves. Other than the J-Up trade, seems most of our moves have backfired in recent years.

I don't care for the this move all that much mostly because I think you could get more for him. You just know there's like a 70% chance these pitchers suck and Heyward's gonna start slugging the shit out of the ball now.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Has our front office decided to go ahead and forfeit next year?????

 

[Demonjoe93]

I guess the Upton Brothers and Evan Gattis are next. I didn't think two years ago that we would be going into rebuilding mode so quickly.

We shouldn't be rebuilding but whatever that's what happens when Ted turner doesn't own the team
