I'm...kind of an idiot. The Dan Uggla trade *was* a masterstroke. It was the Dan Uggla contract extension that paid him through his age 35 season that was awful. falconsd56, NashvilleFalcon01, Jimsmusic™ and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dude earned $62 million, a lot of it from Atlanta, for 108 career appearances. He was arguably the best player in Cuba at 22. Then, he came to America and turned full-fledged entitled, lazy, woman-beating jacka$$. I will say, I hated that trade from the get-go. Something was up when the Dodgers were so willing to flip before a year was out of them paying good money to sign him. But mostly I hated losing Alex Wood.

Something was up when the Dodgers were so willing to flip before a year was out of them paying good money to sign him. But mostly I hated losing Alex Wood. I was looking at this after I made the post. It's interesting that the Braves gambled Wood couldn't stay healthy and were proven right within two years. His post-Braves career is pretty lousy, as he has total WAR of 6.4 across 7 seasons. But he did have that one year where he fulfilled all his promise and finished in the top 10 in the Cy Young. More than half his WAR, 3.4, comes from that one year when he went 16-3. Peraza only has 2.8 WAR across seven seasons. I'd forgotten that Jim Johnson bombed with the Dodgers and came back to Atlanta in the off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 DOB said he's heard the Braves are among the teams in the Verlander market. Ken Rosenthal said today Verlander wants to be close to his Florida home. He wants a team that holds Spring in Florida and east coast in general. falconsd56, Malachore and NashvilleFalcon01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 DOB also adds hes heard the Braves have at least discussed bringing Melancon back.

No, hes a great utility guy you can plug in anywhere and he'll give you good ABS, id probably go $12-14M. I'm happy just bringing Adrianza back though.
