Makes me question how legitimate they are in wanting to trade him. Sounds like they are just trying to find someone willing to do something stupid. Makes sense that they would start with the Mets.

Could a fly ball hit grass with Cain, Dyson, and Bradley in the OF?

The Braves would be nuts NOT to ask for something crazy in exchange for Simmons...having said that, I don't see a team giving up what they want.

I would imagine their trade requirements for teams not in their division would be a bit lower. The Braves traded with the Mets last year, but that was for guys like Kelly Johnson and Juan Uribe. A bit different when you're trading arguably the best defensive player in the game, and he's not a free agent until 2021. That legitimately hurts your long term chances to win your division, especially with the Mets pitching.

Bradley will probably go to RF if the Royals do sign him. Cain isn't leaving CF. remember the Royals love defense and speed.

You don't know anything about Bradley I see.

I doubt Bradley really would be an upgrade over Dyson. Doesn't he K too much for Dayton and the rest of the Royals front office to like him? Not high steal numbers either, but I'm just looking at his player card, haven't seen him play except in a handful of games.

Trade for Simmons, and we will win every game this year 1-0. You will have to hit it out of the yard to beat us.

Seriously though, I would be all over Teheran in a heartbeat. That's a tremendous value for a talented 24 year old pitcher. Probably will take a ton to get him though. The Braves are loaded with young pitching but I can't believe they'd trade these guys given the value of their contracts.

Lol Bradley isn't an upgrade to Dyson?

Yes but it would have chalk on it.

LOL at Greinke coming back to KC. He is staying in the NL, where his batting average is higher than the batters that he faces.

Wade has been simply legendary. :clap:

Bradley might actually be a better fit long term in RF. He is only average as far as speed goes. He's got amazing instincts and arm, but there is a rather large disparity in speed between Cain-Bradley.

I love the idea of getting Andrelton Simmons. He's the best SS in the game defensively. You could move Escobar to 2B and when his contract is up, use Mondesi. But that is an outside of the box move, and no way they would do that considering it would hurt Escobars feelings and he just won the AL Gold Glove.

Imagine this line up, and this defense. It wouldn't really even matter who your SP was as long as they threw strikes

Gordon, LF
Hosmer, 1B
Cain, RF
Morales, DH
Moose, 3B
Perez, C
Simmons, SS
Escobar, 2B
Dyson, CF

That would just be sick. SICK.
