Yates to the Pirates
Well, it was rumored a good bit. One of the out of option players were being asked in phone calls to GM Frank Wren for trades. Wren bit at an offer from the Pittsburgh Pirates, as he traded reliever Tyler Yates for Pittsburgh minor league right hander, Todd Redmond. This deal gives the Braves more options to play with. One is that Wren has one less Out of option player to choose from. He is likely picking his opening day roster tomorrow, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another deal or two come, since Blaine Boyer and Royce Ring are also out of options. I'd expect Ring to go.

I see the Braves will making a deal before Sunday and will trade either Brayan Pena or Scott Thorman. If I had to choose between the two I will trade Thorman all day and everyday. But I am not the Braves GM (for now), so I don’t know what Wren and the rest of the Braves staff is thinking.
The Bravos also need to find a player that can bring some power off the bench. I read some rumors earlier about Juan Rivera, but it could be Rich Aurilla, Wes Helms, or somebody else. I have no clue, I wish it would be Juan Rivera though.
Brayan Pena sucks!!! Thorman would kick the crud out of him by just looking at Pena. Thorman strong. Thorman crush ball. Thorman has big hole in swing he need to fix. :p
Brayan Pena is a consistent good hitter. Scott Thorman can never make solid contact on the ball.
