The only aspect of the possibility of it being a trade that is feasible is like you said, we don't make ourselves weaker, and I trust AA not to do that. But that would require one heck of a return. And to me would have to include at least a #2 pitcher and then something else of good value. We can't trade Max and not get back a pitcher who would help us right now and in the playoffs, to me that would be crazy. On the surface it seems really hard to find a matchup like that that would work for both teams, but AA has pulled off some magic so if it exists he would be the one to pull it off.
I don;t think it would be out of the question to trade Max and Ozuna for a real good pitcher and a decent/good player or prospect. Get us off the hook for the Ozuna money while we were at it. That's even more unlikely than just trading Max by himself, but if the right deal was there it could happen. Never know with AA, he's not afraid to pull the trigger.

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman · 17m Fried's MRI didn't create any concern about possibly needing a second TJ surgery. He will be shut down from throwing until his forearm heals. He'll then have to build back up and basically go through Spring Training again. So, timetable is TBD. But this won't be a short-term IL

Grant McAuley @grantmcauley · 18m In the meantime, the #Braves starting rotation depth:
Spencer Strider Charlie Morton Bryce Elder Dylan Dodd Jared Shuster Michael Soroka
Max Fried joins Kyle Wright on the IL. Ian Anderson underwent Tommy John surgery last month.

Justin Toscano @justinctoscano · 28m The Braves don't believe Max Fried needs Tommy John surgery. He'll just need to let the injury calm down during his time on the injured list, then ramp up again.

Or starting pitching is in shambles after Morton, Strider and Elder. Are we really going to have to depend on Dodd, Shuster and Soroka? I have to wonder if AA is hitting up on some struggling teams to get another starter. Is Giolito available and what would it take?

W/ Fried out, I guess this means bullpen game Thursday ...or a minor league call up. I've heard Winans? Dont' know much about him except he's been around a while and has a sub 3 ERA in 31 IP at Gwinnett.

I knew something was wrong when Fried made 2 throwing errors. He just doesn't do that.

I would have Trevor Bauer on a plane to Atl by now.

Giolito is definitely one I would entertain, but I don't know the asking price.

I would have Trevor Bauer on a plane to Atl by now. Yep, but I think he's playing overseas in Japan though. Not sure what the contract is but there is probably an out clause of some kind.

But if you’re Bauer how satisfying would it be to tell the Braves “FU” after high and mighty smug Snitker told the press “no” when asked in the off-season if the Braves might consider signing Bauer. On the other hand it’s his ticket back into big leagues and that HAS to be his ultimate goal.
