Braves Discussing Andrelton Simmons Trade

[Jaypers]

Makes little sense to me - the guy's a defensive wizard, and his hitting ain't bad either.

Sure hope they're getting a king's ransom in return, if in fact they deal him.


ESPN's Jonah Keri wrote that the Braves are discussing a possible Andrelton Simmons trade with an NL West team.
Whatever's cooking is still very early in the works, as the specific team the Braves are talking with hasn't even been revealed beyond the fact that they play in the NL West. Simmons, 26, hit to a .265/.321/.338 triple-slash with four homers, 23 doubles and 44 RBI in 147 games during the 2015 campaign. Nov 11 - 11:15 PM

Crazy! I guess Brandon Crawford winning the gold glove killed him.

I can't imagine the Rockies being the team in this. Damage control will be needed for whatever happens to Jose Reyes, but Trevor Story is ready to come up and take over SS next year. So that leaves the DBacks and Padres as the only teams interested in doing this. No way the Dodgers don't clear SS for Corey Seager and Crawford is solid for the Giants.

The Padres have a recent history with the Braves, so maybe this will be another blockbuster trade that doesn't work out for San Diego. :banghead:

Not just the NL West.




According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Mets checked in on the availability of Andrelton Simmons on Thursday morning and were told that it would take Matt Harvey or Jacob deGrom.
Yeah, so that's not happening. ESPN's Jonah Keri reported Wednesday that the Braves have engaged in trade talks involving Simmons with at least one National League West team, and Buster Olney added Thursday that the Angels are also interested. Any team with a need at shortstop will be inquiring, but it's going to take a sizable return for the Braves to give up the 26-year-old defensive maestro. He's on a relatively team-friendly contract through 2020.

As a Braves fan I would hate to see him traded after seeing all of the other regulars already leave the team (except Freeman). He's one of the only bright spots on the team currently. By the way, how did Crawford win the Gold Glove over Simmons?

Braves looking to shed salary? Snyderguard and a young bat in return for Simmons?

Jeez, how could the Mets part with any pitching?

B Craw is slick with that glove and I think the power numbers being up this year helped

They ain't got much.

Since when does the Gold Glove have to do with offense?

As a Mets fan, there are maybe only four or five position players (Trout, McCutchen, Stanton, Posey), who are most likely untouchables themselves, who I would ever consider trading either of those pitchers for....

Really? I had no idea. I thought it was supposed to be a defensive award.

Since writers were voting instead of looking at stats....posey should have won over yadi this year too.

Agreed, I think people just like Yadi and he's on a good team. I'm surprised B Craw got it
