Furcal to the Braves means...

Post  Polka on Tue Dec 16, 2008 4:18 pm

This is exciting news, possibly, for our Buccos.

The Dodgers now have a decision to make. Let Hu take over at short, sign a free agent that will cost them draft picks, or make a trade for Jack Wilson.

The Braves now have a decision to make. Trade Yunel Escobar, or move him to 2nd and then move Kelly Johnson from 2nd to LF. I don't think Furcal will be open to playing 2nd. The Braves came knocking on the Pirates door at the Winter Meetings, so maybe there could be something in the works?

There is also the possibility that the Braves reopen their talks with the Padres for Jake Peavy, and send Escobar to them to replace the traded Khalil Greene, among other prospects. That would kill all the excitement I have, but still, this is the Furcal sigining we've been waiting for. Lets see where the dominos now fall.

mlbtraderumors is now saying the deal is not necessarily done. Furcal's agent is supposedly calling the Dodgers for one last shot. If the deal does go through it has to at least raise the possibility of the Dodgers coming back to us. I doubt the Braves will.
