Giving up a whole lot here to add a cornerstone player to my team. I like a lot of the pieces I’m giving up, but I feel like it’s worth it to add Acuna to the squad and hopefully build around him for years to come. Thanks to Jared for the trade talks, and good luck to him and the A’s in their stretch run!

Confirmed.

I will live to regret this, but I want to make a push to win this year. I think my squad can withstand the loss of Acuna long term. Good luck to Arizona!

Addendum: I recognize this creates a cap issue. I intend to make cuts to get compliant and will hold on accepting the Fantrax trade until I can get that done this evening.
