First off, I apologize to everyone who asked about Acuna in the past. I wasn't actively shopping him since February but Drew and I came to a deal I couldn't pass up. Obviously when someone has Acuna or a player like that it takes alot to move him and many of my life coaches advised me against it but i feel like my hitting is potentially strong. Westburg should be up soon and has some good tools and Valera may see the majors soon and has alotta talent. The three big gets here for me are the pitchers. Pairing them up with my present staff will really help me in those categories.

Confirmed. I'm hoping Acuna is the missing piece for my team, as he'll be a huge help in steals, runs, and OBP where I am weakest. And obviously, he is one of the best players in the game. That said, if this deal doesn't lead to a championship this year, I'll probably regret it due to the huge haul of talent that I'm giving up. Correa can be a stud when he's right, and same with May when healthy. Neither is helping me now, though, so I offered to include them for Tony's future. I can't believe I'm moving both GRod and Eury, but Tony drove a hard bargain. My depth takes a big hit here, so hopefully the remainder of my pitching stays healthy. Getting a 1st rounder (should be 2024), lightens the hit a bit, as hopefully I can re-stock a bit with this pick. Thanks to Tony for the back and forth on negotiations to make this work. Hopefully I can win the championship this year and this deal builds the base for Tony's championship team in a year or two.
