Maybe the rotation just needs to be set up to where Teheran doesn't pitch at SunTrust. He's been near abouts untouchable on the road this season.
. I do believe Kemp, J. Garcia and Phillips will be moved though.

A young Cubs fan makes a nice catch with his glove on a hot-shot off the bat of Nick Markakis in the bottom of the 6th-inning
Time to start shopping a few veterans. See what you can get for Kemp, Markakis, etc. Forget this year with the rigth moves 2018 can be good.

yeah lets trade off our best players again for a bunch of no names or old worn out pitchers at 13 million a year thats the ticket.
maybe add freddy freeman to the mix. maybe for him we can get 5 SIngle A players straight out of high school, a 45 year old pinch hitter out of retirement and a new tarp for the infield when it rains.
that was a good one tell another one
Ummm, so is Dickey (the aforementioned 40+ yo pitcher) and Garcia your long term answer? And Kemp and Phillips are both long in the tooth and having renaissance seasons. Hardly a duo to bet the future on. Besides, they are both in the way of a couple studs (Acuna and Albies...). Teheran has been Jekyl and Hyde his whole career. Not to mention the fact that he has an ERA pushing 8 in the stadium he is expected to pitch half of his starts in. So yeah, move all of them, get the front line starter you are looking for (Gray or Fulmer... or both) and get what you can for the aging veterans and the inconsistent "ace". And fwiw, Adams likely brings a top of the rotation starter in an offseason trade... Because like it or not, Freddie is most definitely NOT the long term answer at 3B and the only other position Adams can play is DH (last I checked, that wasn't an option for the Braves...). Let Camargo man the hot corner next season.
