Wasn’t sure I’d deal anyone, but my offense sucks and I’m cap strapped and initially thought pitching could carry me this year but was more wishful thinking in my part. Sure some will say it’s too early to start selling but evaluating my team I don’t think it is. Kershaw I think will come up and be very good when he returns next week but if he doesnt, his value diminishes and I kinda wanted to get a deal done before he comes back. He could also dominate and improve his value so we will see how that works out.
1B was a position of need in my minors. Lowe has come on stronger and was my main target after talks for Madrigal were denied. Dunn was a 2nd nice piece. I’m not sure Fulmer will able be the same but he gives me a mlb pitcher going forward and de los santos is another Potenial upside arm.
Best of luck to the cards and thanks for the deal.

The Cardinals accept. While not sure how were going to finance this team yet...Kershaw adds to what we feel is a strong rotation and Castro adds depth in an area of need.
Losing Lowe stings but watching Voit take a heater up inside from Jimenez and shake it off gives me hope at 1B. I think Dunn, Fulmer, and De Los Santos will provide the braves with quality starts in the future.
Thanks Braves, best of luck.
