Uggla Traded to Braves for Infante

[fromthestretch]

Any idea where the Braves are going to play Uggla? I assume at 2B with Prado at 3B, but what happens if Chipper comes back (thought he was leaning toward 1 more year)? None of the 3 can play SS.

 

Edit: per ESPN, Prado may be asked to play LF!

 

Prado will still get some time at 3B. Jones has only played over 130 games twice since 2005.

62mil 5 year extension per espn

Seems like a fair deal. What was the offer Uggla turned down from FLA before being traded? Or was he never offered a contract and was just asking for parameters of a deal? Pretty sure I heard higher figures than this.

Last November, Uggla turned down a 4-year, $48MM extension. Shortly thereafter, he was traded to the Braves.

I guess the Marlins wouldn't take anything less than All-Star talent for Uggla.

We have roughly 17 Omar Infantes for league minimum in our system. That trade pissed me off so much

None of them were named to the All-Star game or batted .300 at the MLB level.
