Kimbrel traded to the Padres. RIP Facefuck and Satan.
I understood every move up to that one.
BJ for Edwin Jackson straight up would've saved them Kimbrel and not forced them into the Cahill reclamation project. So now we've given away the most devastating reliever in baseball history and acquired 2 other shitty contracts and still ended up with some other team's expensive clusterfuck as a fifth starter. I'm more of a fan of the Cubs approach of stockpiling young hitting than the Braves one of stacking pitching. Power is a premium these days. It doesn't help that I've already experienced the Braves having the most stacked rotation possibly ever for more than a decade and only eeked out one championship to show for it
