Ahh, if they dealt Duvall I expected blech in return. We actually got meh and a double helping of blech so I guess it's a win...maybe...meh.

How many of these 3 are on the 40?

Sims and Tucker....yessir. Good trade and I hope to see more!
Cedric 3/24/08It's absolutely pathetic that people can't have an opinion from actually watching games and supplementing that with stats. If you voice an opinion that doesn't fit into a black/white box you will get completely misrepresented and basically called a tobacco chewing traditionalist...

Now trade with Houston and get the good Tucker brother.

Wonder if something else is going to happen shortly as well? If I’m not mistaken, all 3 of these guys will require a spot on the 40 man, correct?

It's more mixed than at first glance. Fans hated Sims and Wisler. Loved Tucker.

@jaysonst
This #Braves trade is fascinating.
Adam Duvall was having a tough year (.205 AVG, .685 OPS).
But he makes just $645,000 and is under control through 2019-20-21.
Still feels like they gave up a lot for a guy hitting .194 away from Cincinnati.
For Duvall, Sims alone would have made me happy....getting Sims plus a couple spare part types? Good deal for the Reds
99% of all numbers only tell 33% of the story so when looking at the numbers remember that numbers is plural...

Always liked Duvall. Hope he helps them win some playoff games.
