Johan Camargo

Put up 3.3 WAR in 2018 as the Braves 3B, but struggled last year in a utility role. Comes with 4 years of control and is above average defensively at 3B. If the Brewers believe his production is closer to his 2018 numbers, he could be a target especially if they lose out on Moustakas and Donaldson (and Rendon). FWIW, Moustakas had a 2.8 WAR in 2019.

 

Brewers get: Camargo & Melancon

Braves get: Guerra

 

Braves do it to clear between $10M to $14.5M of payroll while dealing from a position of strength (bench depth).

Brewers do it to get their 3B of the future while taking on a vastly overpaid reliever. Melancon is signed through 2020 with $14M remaining.

Carmago at 3B and Dominic Smith at 1B would be the best damn thing in a long time. What a young and possibly great IF that could be paired up with Urias and Hiura.

Well, as of right now the Braves don't have a 3B, so if they lose out on Donaldson then Camargo is their 3B.

 

Somewhat related, as I look at the Braves roster from last year they had a guy I'd like to see signed as Grisham's replacement - Matthew Joyce. He's been outstanding as a spot starter and bench bat the last few years, and would come cheap. I've wanted the Brewers to pick him up for several years.

I thought the Braves moved a 3B prospect to the OF last season due to Donaldson??

Yes, Austin Riley. He is expected to be the Braves 3B this year and a middle of the order bat.

That’s why I find it strange so many are predicting a big 3B FA to Atlanta. I think their big bag will be someone like Marcel Ozuna with Riley going to 3B. Riley fell off so bad last year that I don’t know if they’d want to get rid of Camargo (or rust he would be a greet everyday 3B option)
