At least I'll get to watch Mike Trout and Andrelton Simmons on a nightly basis on local TV.

No clue why ATL would trade Simmons. Idea is to contend in 2017, yet to trade the best defensive player in the sport (who is locked up thru 2020)? Jon Hart gonna Jon Hart.

Full deal:
ATL Gets: Sean Newcombe; Chris Ellis; Erick Aybar; $3m

LAA: Andrelton Simmons

It's almost like Hart is stripping everything away from the old regime....

It's not Hart. It's John Coppolella.

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread

WE GOT SEAN NECOMB, GUYS. THE NL EAST SIMPLY IS NOT READY FOR A 7.15 ERA IN A BALL

AND ALL IT COST WAS THE BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN THE GAME.

WE MADE OFF LIKE BANDITS, ****ING BANDITS I TELL YOU.

**** this. **** the Braves, **** the entire front office. **** baseball.

They asked for deGrom.

How the **** does Jacob deGrom = Newcomb + Aybar?

It's not Hart. It's John Coppolella.

Okay but either way isn't Hart basically the baseball czar or does he not have any say in baseball ops?

Either way, this has to suck for Braves fans. Two straight years of tearing the team down to the wood.

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread

More pitching.

If you're going to build around pitching and defense, maybe you shouldn't trade away the defense.

I was OK dealing Simmons, provided we got a good bat in return. Aybar does not count as a good bat.

No. We traded him away too.

Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread

But what if you got this generation's Babe Ruth, Nolan Ryan in return?

Yeah, this ain't happening.

Its like somebody forgot to turn 30-team control on and the CPU is making unrealistic trades.

Knight! Can you talk to Ramone and patch this?
