Looking back at the Evan Gattis trade

Scott Coleman takes a look back at the Evan Gattis trade and tries to determine who got the better end of the deal.

Gattis will probably be out of baseball within two years, and there's enough upside with Foltynewicz and Ruiz for Atlanta to feel OK about the deal at this point. Both are still young with 10 combined years of control remaining. A worst-case scenario would be Foltynewicz shifts to the bullpen and Ruiz is unable to hit for enough power to stick at third base. Even then, I can't help but think this deal turns out favorably for Atlanta when we look back on it in five years.
