Kotsay to the Braves (1 Viewer)

[Bogart]

From Rotoworld:

The A's and Braves have reached a preliminary agreement on a deal that would send Mark Kotsay to Atlanta for Joey Devine.The Braves will be on the hook for just $2 million of the $7.375 million that Kotsay is owed, but to get him that cheap, they had to part with a very talented young reliever. We're quite skeptical that Kotsay will be a useful regular, though he should be an upgrade over Josh Anderson for the short-term. Jordan Schafer still might get his chance come July.

Save a couple mil, open up PT for someone who will be part of the future, and get a great prospect...possibly the A's closer in 08. Love this deal from our side.

Dumb dumb move for the Braves.

Make sure you draft Devine if Street isn't dealt before the season starts. Devine has the best stuff of anyone behind Street to close.

Braves fan here, and I really was looking forward to Devine closing for the Braves one day.
