Johnson & Maholm traded to Braves for RHP Vizcaino & Chapman

[Little Slide Rooter]

By the way, Graham and Spruill would be a very solid return.

 

which of them do you like better? who else should we want?

Graham. He'd possibly be top 10 in our system. Spruill probably top 15ish. Graham's had the better season. Cody Martin is an interesting guy too for them, although he's really old for his level. But he's been listed as a breakout type.

 

Bowman says that Spruill's not part of the trade.

[Shilzzz]

@mlbbowman Still working on who the Braves used to acquire Maholm and Johnson. It's not Delgado, Spruill, Teheran or Minor.

then also said not Gilmartin

[Brian]

Rogers says THREE pitching prospects.

 

We're going in the wrong direction.

 

Ugh. Quantity over quality?

 

See: The Mark DeRosa Trade

 

Or Sean Marshall

If we can eliminate about 60 more guys who it isn't, then we'll have this figured out!

[neely crenshaw]

Another guy is Luis Merejo. Only 17, lefty, pinpoint control out of Dominican, twaring up GCL(or whatever league they have a team in)

 

17 year old from the dominican means he is really 14 or 27.

Pretty depressing seeing the potential prospects for Maholm in comparison to Delgado, even though as mentioned Maholm isn't that far off in terms of value(vs Demp). For whatever reason, the Braves were hot on Dempster and that was a rare, rare opportunity to cash in. Wren might have been high. Curses.

Just a hunch, but based on previous whispers, I'd be surprised if Braves moved lower-level arms like Graham or Martin.

[davell]

Sure I'm sniped but the Braves dude, Bowman, says Spruill NOT in deal. Tells me Graham is.

I'd trade Maholm for da bum's freedom #FDB

[davell]

Graham and one of Martin or Merejo is a win for us, if that's it.

[Shilzzz]

Medlen, Graham, Bullock

Kevin Goldstein @Kevin_Goldstein

They got one. RT @mattmettler: @Kevin_Goldstein should cubs fans pray for a good return?

[davell]

Medlen, Graham, Bullock

Is that the return?

[sneakypower]

JR Graham and Zeke Spruill

I presume that is KG's snarky way of saying anything would be a good return for Reed/Maholm?

RT @jcrasnick: Pitcher Jaye Chapman is one of the players going from #Braves to #Cubs in Maholm-Johnson deal, source says.
