Just WOW!! I can't believe I moved Luis Urias AND Mackenzie Gore at all, let alone in the same room, but this deal could not be passed up. Bo Bichette is already one of my favorite players in the games and pairing him with Fernando Tatis Jr was a dream come true. Stroman slots in nicely right in the middle on my rotation. Clearly I'm pushing my pieces all in because I just moved my top two prospects and more to get this deal done. Talks were long but not really that strenuous. Vik and I usually make deals quickly but a deal of this magnitude takes time. Thanks Vik, and good luck.

Accpet, but as Yeagg said, WOW! Definitely didn't see myself moving Bichette at all, especially this early, and on top of that even a few others like Biggio/Stroman are tough to part with. With that said, I do really like the return and Gore is the #1 pitching spec in my eyes and been a fan even before he fully broke out this year. I also get Urias who is no Bichette but helps ease the blow of moving him. This is type of deal you can write essay about but in a nutshell, despite neither of us seeing this coming, I'd say we are very happy with return. Added bonus for me is saving some cap but was pretty minor factor for this deal.
