Braves news and links: Revisiting the week old Andrelton Simmons deal

Looking back at last week's deal between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels, this much is clear: the Angels gave up A LOT to acquire Andrelton Simmons.

With Shelby Miller, Julio Teheran and Mike Foltynewicz in the majors and Kolby Allard, John Gant, Tyrell Jenkins, Touki Toussaint and Co.
