If it means we get to see Acuña I'm all for it

I like it. It gives the Braves two veteran starters who's contracts expired at the end of the year and a versatile utility player. Now they need to trade Markakis and either sign JD Martinez or trade for Christian Yelich.

I agree. Get rid of Nick "warning track power" Markakis. Can you imagine an outfield of Acuna, Inciarte, and Yelich? I think he is worth giving up a few of those young pitching prospects.

I'd like to see the Braves trade Julio Teheran sometime in 2018 for a good young arm or arms.

Especially with 4 more years of control on Yelich. If AA go that route then he needs to sign Todd Frazier to a 1 year deal to provide some right handed pop.

I think Julio will definitely be dealt.

I wouldn't mind the Braves acquiring an outfielder like Eddie Rosario of the Twins or Jarrod Dyson of the Mariners
