Yes, Braun is the best player, but you are getting pretty nice returns there.

Agreed... you're getting a huge upgrade at C and a downgrade in the OF, but not an extreme one.

It's definitely a nice deal for you. I would hate to see Braun go but you are getting two elite players in return so it is worth it.

i'd take it, i dont have beltran all that much behind braun for this year and getting mccann in the deal definitely makes it worth it imo.

I like it for you. Braun is the best keeper here obviously but McCann is an elite at catcher and Beltran still has enough years left at top-tier production.

Only thing i dont like is this is a 14 team league and its a keeper league. If you can do that deal then flip Beltran sometime for a younger stud? I'd do that. Beltran's got like 3 solid seasons left if his knees can hold, but each year i expect him to just die and he puts up his .275 30-100-20 line.....


you're getting good value tho, just hate losing BRAUN BRAUN!

Solid deal for you. McCann is going to be a huge upgrade for you and Beltran will still be top tier for the next 2 years at least.

I would do this trade in a heartbeat. Beltran and Braun are pretty equal except for age and long term keeper potential. McCann is one of th top, if not the top catcher.
