2Given the news on Max Fried this morning, I did this just as a what-if. Houston needs help at second base, which is where Grissom's value is highest. But Brown is almost certainly not available, and I don't think the Braves would be interested in handing over two of their top pitching prospects to make it happen.

It's close enough to painful for both sides that it should cause some pause for consideration. I don't know if either side would do it, but more from what they'd give up than what they'd get. Extra layer of issue is that both are contending for WS title, not kicking the can down the road.
