People over overreacting way too much about this. First off, La Stella isn't our future second baseman and never has been. It's always been Peraza and if you go look at his minor league statistics, you'll see why that is the case. As far as J-Hey is concerned.... There was zero chance to sign him next off season, so why keep him around on a losing team this year with nothing in return? Don't get me wrong, Jason is one of my all time favorite Braves and it stings but it's for the best.

Shelby Miller is going to be good. He has posted very good numbers considering his age and not to mention has POSTSEASON EXPERIENCE. Tyrell Jenkins is another great addition. Throws 94-96 with sink and has a really good change up and Is working on a slider. He's only 22, come 2017 we will have one of the best teams in baseball in one of the best stadiums in baseball but the first thing we have to do is do what the Braves are known for and thats regenerate our farm system to one of the best in baseball like it always has been.

Yeah I'm not mad about La Stella but losing Heyward just sucks. It does make sense though

Unless this dude becomes a stud, STL wins this trade by a mile.

He has actually regressed. He is never going to be a top of the rotation starter. We just gave up quite possibly the best defensive player in the game and a 6 War player for at best a 3rd starter in current form. This trade was god awful. We could have done much better. I have no issues with trading JHey if we felt like we couldn't sign him but this trade stinks. Shelby fricking Miller for Jason Heyward.


Le Stella was making room for Peraza who is going to be good. I like that move. I don't like trading Heyward for Miller.
