    The Astros traded Michael Bourn to the Braves in exchange for OF Jordan Schafer, LHP Brett Oberholtzer, RHP Paul Clemens and RHP Juan Abreu.

    lol great work Eddy Wade!!

    Yankees, your turn to come get Myers or Wandy on the cheap! Eddy Wade will even throw in some money. And he's not even asking for a top prospect!

    WOW...still processing. I like Clemens and Oberholtzer but not sure how much I like them. Abreu is a power arm that should be in our bullpen tomorrow. Schafer is interesting, big time prospect that got called up to early, he is basically where Bourn was when we acquired him from Philly.

    Must process...right now...disappointed.

    Can't take another thread of b****ing. I'm sure he got as much as he could.. And bourn with boras and his great year was gonna get PAID. Braves had other options

    I, for one, am glad something got done

    Also, what's with money complaints? People whine if we dont spend on fa's, not considering that it's real money with real consequences.. And then whine when that same money (still not yours) is includedin a deal. I'm sure it had to happen that way.. Why care so much ab a few mil if it saves a lot more long term and helps a deal gO through?

    Were the Braves really high on them? That's not a reason to be doing a deal, they can be lying for all Wade knows.

    Wade was probably like "I don't know how to evaluate talent, but you guys surely do, which of your prospects are good and I'll trade for them"

    Braves GM "sure (names 4 guys who they don't think anything of"
