Complete garbage deal. There is no way he is even worth $8 Mil.
Do you even know how much cash was included in the deal?

Better deal would have been just to cut Krol and call it a day.

Braves throw in cash, so it ends up being $5-6 million for 2016, which is average money for an average player. And if he sucks, we just pay him $1 million to go away. I like the deal.

But the Tigers won't do that. They'll keep him all year, pay him 5-6m and he'll be less than average.

Anything to dump Krol is a good move in my book. I like this trade.

Cameron Maybin is just a rajai replacement. He could match rajai's production and possibly exceed it since he is still in his prime.

Maybin is worse of a player than Anthony Gose. How on earth is that average?

Is it "still" in his prime if he never had a prime.
The problem with this trade is it doesn't help us get get wins. We need many players at different positions to compete.. And we get Maybin? I want better, not the same.

Also...in a couple of years Gabe Speier will be in someone's pen. Great stats. Fastball at 95 MPH for a lefty is real good. And Speier is just 20 years old.

But we only pay maybin for 1, two years at the most. What average mlb CF are you going to get for less than $15 million for two years of service? Doubt there is any. Also Rajai WAR for three years before signing with Tigers: .8. Maybin(not including 2013 cause he only played 14 games): 3.4. Maybin is an upgrade from rajai for the same cost. I say the Tigers win this trade any way you slice it.

You can get me for a cool mil. Doesn't means it's a good deal.
