Trade just broke that sent Kimbrel and Upton Jr from the Bravos to the Friars for Maybin and Quentin plus prospects. Crazy stuff.

Moving Kimbrel is the RIGHT thing to do, you dont need an elite closer when you are nowhere near contending.
Whether they got enough back for him?
Debatable, but including Melv Upton did definitely lower the return. -

Re: Huge trade!
Getting rid of Melvin is addition by subtraction, regardless of the return. I'll admit, as a Braves fan, I'm sad to see Kimbrel go even though I'm aware there's little use for him on a bad team. Players like him don't come very often.Comment
