Braves Send: JJ Hoover (CIN) RP $300,000 (2018) Josh Donaldson (OAK) 3B $300,000 (2017)
Marlins Send: Starling Marte (LF) PIT - $300,000 (2017) Stone Garrett (OF) MIA - Prospect
Braves accept. With my team in a bit of rebuilding I am trading for Marte as he is a bit younger than Donaldson to hopefully extend my rebuild timeframe. Garrett is young, but seems like he has some good upside.

Marlins accept. In somewhat of a "going for it now" approach, so Donaldson helps over a benched, PED ridden Marte. In Hoover I'm hoping that Rodney craps the bed and puts Hoover in line for some handshakes.

This is a rather interesting trade. I see this trade as two 1-for-1 trades with Donaldson for Marte and Hoover for Garrett. First, I think Donaldson for Marte is pretty even, with Donaldson providing more present value and Marte providing more future as Donaldson is reaching the end of his prime whereas Marte is reaching the beginning of his prime. While this doesn't exactly any positional need of either team (with Marlins probably needing OF's more than 3B), it does fit the timeline of the teams where Braves needs more future value while Marlins needs more present value. Overall, I would say Braves probably slightly wins this part. That is countered with the second part of the trade, Hoover for Garrett. Both had disappointing seasons in 2016. The difference between them is that Hoover has bounced back from his bad season while Garrett has not. Plus, as Marlins mentioned, Hoover could be in line for some saves if Rodney implodes some more (though, I will say as a Diamondback fan that the team and fanbase feel pretty comfortable with Rodney for the timebeing, despite his 6.75 ERA, but who knows how long that will last). Even so, Hoover has been getting a good amount of holds that is already providing value. He probably has C+/B- value while Garrett has C+ value, perhaps C+/C. In addition, this trade aids in Braves and Marlins desire of acquiring future and present value. Overall, I think the two parts of the trade balance quite nicely and are good fits for both teams
