Braves’ perfect trade offer for Twins’ Byron Buxton
8 comments
I refuse to believe that Hurston Waldrep is the name of a real person.
So no top 100 prospect? None starter.
I get that there is nothing going on so there isn’t much to talk about but I feel like mock trades are so incredibly useless. They are never anything close to the real deal and depending on who is authoring the article, favor one side heavily.
This will complete the Pohlads’ dream of owning a minor league baseball team.
Lol, who is Garrett Kerman.
“The question remains whether Buxton figured something out about his durability at age 31 or if things simply fell just right for him” just screams ‘I read Buxton’s bref page today but don’t actually know anything about him.’
Also, he says that trading for a starting pitching prospect would solve a “Long Term Need” for the Twins. The one thing we still have is starting pitching, what the hell dude?
Hot take: this proposal is skewed in favor of the Twins.
Do you think Buck will write us telling us what playoff contention feels like when he’s gone?

That would be a massive overpay for the braves.
