💁🏼♀️ Well, if any team can afford to trade away 3 minor league starting pitchers it’s the Braves,
I think Murphy and Kuehler are both on IL for TJS, so when you factor that in with the heavy trade value discount, I think this trade is unlikely.

It's definitely very highly unlikely but the injuries kinda help cause both are out for 2025 and best case scenario they work their way up to AA by the end of 2026, so realistically they aren't ready for MLB til some point of 2027, Atlanta's window is starting to close somewhat due to age and injuries so they might be a little more motivated to trade some of the future for the current roster, they really look like a Caballero or Morel would fit their needs well.
I doubt Waldrep is available at this valuation, even if he isn’t pitching well these days, so take him, McCabe (who I don’t see much of a fit with), and Fairbanks out of the trade and maybe you have a deal. It would be the most surprising deal in many years though, from both sides.
