November 12, 201510 yr Can confirm @JesseSanchezMLB's initial report that the Angels are getting Andrelton Simmons. Erick Aybar is going to Atlanta, plus others. — Alden Gonzalez (@Alden_Gonzalez) 2015년 11월 12일 I'm told, thru industry source, that Sean Newcomb, the Angels' top prospect, is headed to Atlanta in the deal. He would be the headliner. — Alden Gonzalez (@Alden_Gonzalez) 2015년 11월 12일
November 12, 201510 yr #Braves trade Simmons to #Angels for Newcomb, Ellis, Aybar and about $3M — Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) 2015년 11월 12일 #Braves further deepen SP with Sean Newcomb and Chris Ellis. Get Aybar as SS placeholder that they can spin if want — Joel Sherman (@Joelsherman1) 2015년 11월 12일
November 13, 201510 yr Solid deal Yeah, I think Braves didn't have a confidence about Simmons' offensive improving. So, Hech lose a decent GG rival in NL?
November 13, 201510 yr Interesting deal. And yes, Hech's biggest hurdle towards a future gold glove is now gone.
November 13, 201510 yr Why trade him? Dumb. Because you get a fucking fantastic pitching prospect and a secondary one thats pretty damn good. You will suck and lose a shit ton of games with Simmons or without him. I get the deal. I dont do it if I'm Atlanta, but I get it.
November 13, 201510 yr I was never high on Simmons. And I think the Braves realized that the offense wasn't going to get any better with him manning SS. Good move, if the prospects pan out. But either way, it's hit or miss.
