Today by far in my eyes the biggest game of the year for the Braves. Need to win and keep momentum vs the Mets. Pitching & defense will be crucial. We can do this. You are just begging for a subsequent 4 game losing streak, aren't you.. 'cause that's what will happen if we reach .500

Jon Morosi @jonmorosi Sources: Max Scherzer trade talks have continued to intensify, and those close to the conversations believe a deal could be reached by late tonight. The Giants, Dodgers, and Padres are among the top suitors, but other clubs are involved. @mlbnetwork @mlb oi vey the rich get richer in other words if the Dodgers land him. Which they probably will. We used to do the same thing back in those glorious 90's Marquis Grissom, Fred Mc Griff, Danny Nagle for starters. And, we got Greg Maddux in FA Oh for those glory days - did not win it all but got to 5 WS and the LCS every yr More power to them and teams like SF and Boston who turned it around this yr. Sucks for Nats fans who are used to being buyers who knows where their future is. Overall we are not all that bad off as a whole but need some guys to be healthy again

Yeah. Braves are stuck with a AAA outfield this year. But seeing it as the year that it is, that's probably tolerable. Make some moves in the off season.

Can we Trea Turner or Trevor Story? We need that type of bat in this lineup.

We could have done better than that for Marte. Luzardo is just another dime a dozen struggling young pitcher but hey that is Miami's problem As bad as it seems, we could be Marlin fans and have a worse payroll. Sucks to be a fan of one of those perennially selling teams. Like the Pirates, Royals, Marlins, etc. If we do not get a bat my hope is this roster gets tweaked - first order of business is to take these 2 from the Muts.

I am impatient as to why we are not even giving Demerritte a try. Especially with what we are throwing out there right now. For his sake I hope Camargo is DFAed - we have buried this guy for too long. I say that for the individual player since the powers that be seem to have no use for him on the real roster. And he never has popped off about it, not that it would do him any good at this point in his career. Just keep working hard, and a break will come somewhere Johan. I am rooting for him

AA is full of crap. He says the Braves will be buyers at the deadline, and the best player available at our position of DIRE NEED gets traded for one pitching prospect that Oakland obviously now feels is overrated. I realize that Marte is a rental, but having him come play here might have gone a long way toward adding him next season.

We will never pursue that kind of player in his prime - look its not certain we will even keep our best player of the past decade much less pursue guys like that Maybe someone comming off an injury who will sign a one yr contract in the off season. This off season - who knows

I realize that Marte is a rental, but having him come play here might have gone a long way toward adding him next season. Our buying has been done, we got Vogt and Joc earlier than the deadline So far, not bad. Vogt seems to have a thing with the pitchers and Joc well, he is Joc. Somewhat useful guys Maybe one more minor tweak, but I feel the same way about the Marte thing. Like in FA, he did his buying earlier. Like some of the FA signs AA does, early in ex - Smith, Donaldson, Smyly and Morton for starters. It seems like he bids vs himself but he gets what he wants at that time. Is he right - whom am I to say. But Morton and Smyly have been useful even if they appeared overpriced at the time

Let’s just add some more backup catchers and say we tried.

lulz...
Luzardo is hardly some dime a dozen bozo.
That was a steep price for a 2 month rental and the A's must feel like this is a year they can really make a run.

You have seen Luzardo's record this yr and he is even having trouble in AAA right now Oakland decided to know when to fold em and get something for him that can help them short term while they can. They did not overhold on a prospect that is showing signs of possibly not making it. Maybe Miami can do something with him - but Oakland looks like they want it now, cannot blame them. Luzardo is not the first top prospect in an org to not seem to have it for the show - especially young pitching - they are a different slow developing breed this day in time
