Cleveland agrees to trade i move abunch of young talented guys to aquire a player i like alot

Braves agree

Brian sent me an offer and I don’t think Tim will produce and was a 1-season-wonder in 2019 and will crash back to earth following previous years’ stay lines

May as well take some long shot youngsters instead. Not sure if I’ll keep all of em yet but time will tell

[Flash]

None of us are fortune tellers, but we can all deal with the reality that Tim Anderson is a top tier fantasy MI and is worth more than the Indians are offering.  Clay Holmes is a RP and has limited value.  The other four “prospects” are underachieving waiver wire fodder and none of them has any negligible upside.  This trade is a lopsided giveaway and is a sure way to destroy the Atlanta franchise. 

There is no logical rationale for a trade of this nature.

I have to agree with Flash. I really don't want veto any trades, but in this case I think Atlanta is really getting the short end of the stick.  Pretty much all of these prospects are players who are struggling at A ball.
