Estrada traded to Arizona

The Braves have traded catcher Johnny Estrada to the Diamondbacks for right-handed relievers Lance Cormier and Oscar Villarreal, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal is reporting.

Not a bad deal for the Diamondbacks. Estrada probably won't go back to hitting like he did in 2004, but he's solid enough and inexpensive. Cormier has little upside as a middle reliever, and Villarreal still hasn't recovered from being overused in 2003. Dec. 7 - 1:37 pm et

Hmmm, I guess they have given up on Lugo and will focus on Renteria. I say that because Estrada was rumored to go in a deal to get Lugo.

I was and still am a huge Estrada fan, great catcher...good hitter, atleast in 04 he was :)

Smart move by the Braves. I don't know if they could've gotten more, but I like Villareal and Cormier.

Guess the Braves have a lot of faith in McCann.

They also have Salty coming up from the minors in the near future.

It's not a bad move for the Braves. Estrada was about to get expensive through arbitration and he doesn't provide much that McCann won't be able to give them.
