Eaton to Atlanta rumor

From what I can find it looks like Neslony was traded to the White Sox and assigned to Birmingham

Have a feeling these moves are unrelated

They seem related to me after reading what Atlanta had to say about getting Eaton.

yea i saw the sox posted he was granted unconditional release yesterday, so wtf happened here?  why did the Braves trade some random scrub to the Sox? Don't the Sox have like a week to try and trade him after the put him on waivers?  So basically nobody wanted him and the Sox just were like fuck it we'll eat the entire contract?

Precisely.  Looks like the Neslony deal was unrelated and likely just for cash.

if the Braves want him, they likely figured they don't have to provide any compensation.

They only have to pay $252K for the remainder of the season. He'll probably pick them even if another team bids, they have a history of fielding old grinder types in right field.

So $7.7M (if claimed) or $8.0M (if not) for a solid April. Meh.

.

Going from Acuna to Eaton has to hurt just as bad, if not worse than seeing "White Sox sign outfielder Brian Goodwin" the day after Robert went down.

Yea sure I just don't understand that trade the other day then.  Like what did the Sox send them?  A deep dish?

Jerry is ordering an expensive bottle of wine tonight! He just saved $300k! 

Okay, I found something worse than plugging Goodwin for Robert or Eaton for Acuna.

Eaton for Trout?

He was dominant against the Angels in the season opening series...fool's gold :)

Eeeeeeeyup

Dan Bernstein said Joc Pederson is worth Dylan Cease+ so I can only imagine the return we can get for Eaton, who has a better WAR

I don't think the Sox are getting anything for him. They released him, I think he became a free agent.

The Angels signed him.
