Alex and I have been talking trade since before the season began, primarily focused around a player who didn't even end up in the deal. Things kicked into high gear when Alex suggested the Thor for Carrasco and Manaea framework. I've struggled all season to field a lineup with 5 competent and healthy SP, so being able to trade 1 for 2 worked well for me. Syndergaard obviously has huge upside, but getting 2 controllable starters with some upside made it work for me. The Taylor and Moreland for prospects portion of the deal helps boost my inconsistent offense with a couple guys that can help this year and next. Strop was a throw in who was going to be a roster size victim. Great talks with Alex and glad we could finally get it done.

Texas confirms. Trading some solid players who weren't going to do much for me this year. Manaea and Carrasco are tough to lose but getting Thor is worth it and I think I can replace the depth lost from my farm which is shaping up nicely now. Couple of drops coming for roster space once approved.
Congrats to St Louis for having the guts to load up! I think this puts him in a great position. Who's gonna respond? I still have players to move.
