Tomahawk Take Editor’s Note: The Braves acquired left-handed starting pitcher Jaime Garcia yesterday. If you follow Tomahawk Take on twitter, you probably saw the displeasure I had for this trade. Usually, I can see the positive in the trades the Braves have made, but this one just didn’t make sense to me. I was a huge fan of Luke Dykstra and how he played the game. I was looking forward to watching him climb up in the minors.
Chris Ellis and John Gant were the other pieces in this trade. It’s tough letting prospects go and we saw Gant in Atlanta last year.
