Phillies accept - I hate trading my Braves players, but i need depth on my roster. Also, understand when evaluating this trade, I am a Braves fan, and for me to give them up it is high a price. Riley looks like the player he was forecast to be and is only 24. Albies is also only 24 and by fantrax is the #4 2B this year. So I am giving up 2 elite players that play for my favorite team in this deal, both were going to be a big part of my teams future. But, this deal was to good to turn down. Including the 3rd round FYPD to balance the trade a little more. Merrifield is the #2 overall 2B by Fantrax but he is 32 years old and in final year of contract (so I will have to resign but I will. I feel that brings his value down below Albies because $$$, control and age. But with that said i am excited to get him and have my 2B for the near future. Manning and Pearson are both young 24 and 23 years old (same age range as Albies and Riley) - but they haven't had an impact in MLB yet - they are both elite prospects having down years so far this year in the minors (small sample size)- i like the thought of both of these guys in my rotation in the future, and hopefully one will be elite. Jones I hope will stay at 3rd and will be my 3rd baseman of future and again another young prospect 23 years old but not proven in MLB. So if you are a prospect lover you might feel this is an overpay for the trade - but realize for me to move these players this in my opinion is the type of return that it would take for me to give them up. But, both players I am giving up are young and controllable and Alibies already is a top 10 2B - Riley will probably be one by end of season or next year currently by fantrax (#14)- So I feel I am giving up 2 top players at their position - for 3 highly rated/elite prospects and a top 10 2B.

Whit Merrifield and Adalberto Mondesi are short-term rentals, which will need to be re-signed. The is a lot of young talent going both ways.
