Fishfan79 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Seems the trade is going down that was proposed before. Gonzalez is getting a physical tomorrow. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2006/12/pira...b.html#comments Pirates/Yankees/Braves Deal About Complete Bucco Blog is reporting tonight that the oft rumored three-team trade between the Yankees, Braves, and Pirates is all but complete. Mike Gonzalez is taking a requested physical for the Yankees today and, if he passes, it looks like he will be a Yankee for Christmas. The Pirates will be getting Adam LaRoche and the Braves will get Melky Cabrera and at least one unidentified Pirate who is thought to be either Nate McLouth or Jose Castillo. There are a couple versions of this trade running according to Bucco Blog so more as we hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 The Braves are getting a pretty good deal there, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 sweet deal for the Braves, would take Melky in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishfan79 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 I think the yanks and pirates are getting the best deal personally. Laroche is very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBCMarlinsFan Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 We'll see if Melky is as good as Yankees fans seem to think he is. Personally, I look forward to seeing him in a Braves uniform over LaRoche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

furcalchick Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 i think this is a bad trade for the braves personally. laroche was finally coming into his own, but prehaps js was on to something and thinks this was a one year thing for roachy. alot of the fans are very dissapointed in why we are trading for an unproven melky caberera, and this seems like the braves are becoming very cheap. i think the yankees and pirates get the better ends of the deal, why the braves seem to be in a firesale mode.

CYmarlins Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 who plays 1st base for the Braves now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauer7 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 who plays 1st base for the Braves now? I know woodward can play there. Maybe they'll convert Langerhans or K. Johnson. They might have a decent first sacker at AA or AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Marlin Man Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 the braves would also get mclouth or castillo?? jose castillo is a pretty damn fine second baseman it seems like the braves always make good deals, those bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markickass21 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 What's odd is that I can't find the article put up on the 21st about the trade between the teams not going down. Checked Pirates, Yanks, and Braves site, no sign unless they changed the title to the article..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
