Title: Braves send J-Up to Padres in five-player swap Post by: CF DolFan on December 19, 2014, 02:27:56 pm I'm guessing Stroke is happy with all the shopping the Padres have been doing and Upton was the cherry on top.
Braves send J-Up to Padres in five-player swap Prospects Fried, D. Peterson and Smith and supplemental pick J. Peterson go to Atlanta Title: Re: Braves send J-Up to Padres in five-player swap Post by: Sunstroke on December 19, 2014, 02:57:15 pm Our outfield defense is going to suck like a nuclear-powered vacuum, but I love the offensive direction our new GM, A.J. Preller, is going. Dealing for Matt Kemp, Justin Upton and Wil Myers in the outfield, plus a major offensive upgrade behind the plate in Derek Norris. I'll hardly recognize my Padres this season...but they should be a lot more fun to watch. ;D Title: Re: Braves send J-Up to Padres in five-player swap Post by: Sunstroke on December 20, 2014, 12:21:03 am Now the Padres are close to finalizing a deal with Boston for 3B Will Middlebrooks. The part of this whole whirlwind rebuilding blitzkrieg that blows my mind is that we will have dealt for Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Wil Myers, Derek Norris and Will Middlebrooks...and we haven't given up any of our starting rotation or any of our top-3 prospects. Now we need a SS. Since I won him in our deep dynasty league, I am lighting candles for San Diego to make a trade with the Cubbies for Addison Russell. |
