Astros/Braves

[Braves GM (Eric)]

Astros trade:

1B Freddie Freeman, 2025, 16 (Dodgers)

Braves trade:

SS Carlos Correa, 2024, 11.6 (Twins)
2B/3B Enmanuel Valdez, 1st, 0.3 (Red Sox) www.fangraphs.com/players/enmanuel-valdez/21716/stats?position=2B

Astros cap: -4.1
Braves: +4.1

Deep in VT and can’t post the darn search links. Hopefully Adam can.

Once Adam had Freddie, I reached out with a Correa+ idea and here we are. Freddie is a nice tent pole player at 1B, and I’m so very happy to accept this trade and acquire his metronome-type production. Both Correa and Enmanuel will be missed, but this helps me win this year.

Thanks Adam.

[Astros GM (Adam)]

Astros confirm.

I love the consistency Freeman would offer, but Correa fills in the open roster spot at SS. I believe the balanced roster will provide better results for my team.

I’ve also had seller’s remorse regarding Enmanuel after trading him last year. He has his real life deficiencies, but needs to be in a lineup anytime he plays.

Thanks Eric!

(I’ll add acquisition links later tonight. Thanks again.)
