I honestly don't see how they can make a great package, unless they deal Painter. Abel isn't a headliner, Crawford has 0 power, which isn't something I want to trade for.
Phillies make a lot of sense. I wonder if you could get Painter since he's out with TJ for 2024. Otherwise, I don't like an offer they could make and I'd be stunned if they'd be willing to give up Painter.
I think this is how much teams will operate. Once Yamamoto is off the board, Cease rumors will pickup. He will be more sought after than Snell's soon to be terrible contract imo.
I don't love anyone, I just like almost no one in a Braves offer. Dominguez would be a good get. Chase Hampton is a better pitching prospect than any Braves guy imo. Dominguez, Hampton and Lombard would be my ask.
Yeahhhhh, that's another one of my confusions... He was a late first.. He can't have soured his value that much in 2 months, right? A headliner for Cease when you coulda just taken him?! ugh.
If that's the best offer you get, you HAVE to hold him until the deadline and hope that he returns closer to the 2022 form. If he remains the 2023 Dylan, you'd get a similar offer to that booty offer from someone else then.
