So these are the few trade proposals...

Trade proposal 1:

San Francisco Giants get: Cameron Maybin and Jace Peterson

Atlanta Braves get: Christian Arroyo (SS/2B), and Gustavo Cabrera(OF)

Trade proposal 2:

Chicago Cubs get: Shelby Miller, Kelly Johnson, and Ricardo Sanchez

Atlanta Braves get: Albert Almora(OF), Gleyber Torres(SS) and Eloy Jimenez(OF)

Trade proposal 3:

New York Yankees get: Jose Peraza,Tyrell Jenkins, and a lower minor leaguer

Atlanta Braves get: Aaron Judge (OF) and Nelson Gomez (3B)

And our rebuild is then complete.

I will now explain why:



For Trade number 1, Cameron Maybin is liked by the SFG and will likely get traded. I will package Jace with Peterson for a little bit better return. I like Arroyo from the Giants, he hits for average and plays in the MIF(needed because I will later trade away Peraza as well). We also get Cabrera, who was signed in 2012. He is far away from the majors, but that is okay.

For trade number 2, it is bold by trading away our ace in Shelby Miller. Miller's price tag, however, will rise significantly due to arbitration and his value has never been higher before. If we can get Torres, Almora, and Jimenez for Miller, that would be incredible. If not the Cubs, the Pirates may be a fit. I like is Austin Meadows. He is from GA and has heated lately in the minors. He is batting .300 and has 5-tool potential. I like his makeup and body structure. A trade with the Cubs or Pirates involving Miller would be great.

For trade proposal 3, it was made to get another power bat- Aaron Judge. Trading for either Meadows/Cubs package and Judge solidifies out outfield and power in our lineup. Nelson Gomez is interesting. He was signed last year (number 2 internationally ranked) and has great batting potential and plays a position we need 3B. The downside is that ,however, he is far from the majors needing another 5-6 years. We trade to them: Peraza,and Tyrell Jenkins. Peraza was scouted by them earlier in the season(so they are interested), and they need a good SS, in which Peraza can do for them. Tyrell Jenkins has the potential to be a solid 3, and the Yankees also need some pitching for the future.

*disclaimer: with these traded, honestly, the Braves might suck in the MLB fin 15' and 16'. That, however, is perfectly okay. As looking for the future, teams in rebuild suck in the present. We will probably get a top 5 draft pick in 16' and 17'. The 2016 draft is loaded with talent, so the number 5 pick would be terrific in our case.

Now, one thing different from the rebuild, is that I would like the Braves to be players in David Price. He bring veteranship and would be the ace of our rotation. He has playoff experience and would fit in our club house well. He spoke before at the ASG that the Braves were the reason he started loving baseball as a kid (hopeful right now).

Now in 2017, our roster would look terrific in the majors:

1B: Freddie Freeman

2B: Albies/Arroyo/Torres

3B: Veteran FA/ Albies

SS: Simmons/Albies/Torres

C: Bethancourt

OFs: Almora, Eloy Jimenez, Judge

5 pitchers: Price, Tehran, Wood, Wisler, and a pitcher

The best part about all of this is that with all the talent in the major leagues, we would still have a solid pipeline of players ready to help in the majors. With all the prospects, we would have enough depth to trade from the majors to fill holes in the club.

Our pipeline would include: Derian Cruz, Christian Pache, Kolby Allard, Nelson Gomez, Eloy Jimenez, Kevin Maitan(hopefully), and other prospects from there international signings(we are suppose to go all in next year) and draft picks in the future!

I think this is the best way to complete the rebuild and make the Braves winning again as early as 16' and most definitely in 2017.

I'm sorry that this was very long..
