Though I dont believe they wouldve taken Delgado.

[CaseyRyback]

I think the Rays got a great deal in this trade. I wish we could have made a move. I thin kwe could have gotten him for Minor + mid level prospect.

[RaiderKid318]

Gross this means swisher or Gattis now. Joy.

[HowFit]

****in Rays, man. I know who I'm keeping my eye on in the AL.

Unbelievable trade! Royals gave way too much up!

Nothing wrong with having Swisher at the right price. I would assume many teams after him, which drives the price up...

1 year of Shields for Myers? That's a rip off.

[SB75]

yeah, i think if either had to be traded, it'd be delgado. While the talent isnt mlb level, it shows he is getting more comfortable with his pitches.

+1!

Two years, still a high risk trade if Myer lives up to his potential.

With Myers now gone and guessing Alex is off the block with that move, do the Braves circle back around to the Justin Upton with the D-Backs. Keeping Simmons out of it but prehaps willing to deal Delgado with another high ranking prospect not named JT?

That won't happen, i think J. Upton ship has sailed, we don't know if Bonifacio is available and i haven't read any other report about De Aza being available, so the most logical choices are Choo, Willingham or going with a Francisco/Johnson platoon.

Its possible. You never know with FW. I personally would perfer a speed guy who hits for average. I dnt know, but speed and high average players are my weakness.

yuck! Francisco in LF? FW please work some magic. Lol I dnt want to see that platoon happen.

lol, no man, i mean use Francisco at third against RHP/Prado LF and Prado at third and Johnson LF vs LHP

[beldugo]

Let's do an experiment, how would the numbers looked if we use a platoon of Francisco/Johnson last year (Francisco at 3B vs RHP and Johnson in LF vs LHP):

.278/.323/.461 .337 wOBA 110 wRC+

This platoon is a worst case scenario in my opinion, but those numbers are above league for a LF or 3B, so it won't be the worst thing in the world.

Lol..oh ok. Thank goodness.
