Minnesota Twins trades away: SP Dylan Cease (CWS), 2023: 12 (Arb2) SS Wilman Diaz (LAD) prospect RP James Karinchak (CLE) 1.5 (Arb1) SP Matthew Liberatore (STL) prospect
San Diego Padres trades away: SS CJ Abrams (WAS), 2023: 0.5 SP MacKenzie Gore (WAS), 2023: 0.75
I’m sure a lot of people in the league would say I paid a lot for CJ / Gore- but both come with a considerable amount of control which gives me options for the future. Cease would have been tough to keep as I had already used my Arb2 extension and I’m guessing he comes in around 18 next year. Diaz had some prospect hype but has had a rough couple seasons of rookie ball. Karinchak isn’t closing so I figured he was a name I could part with and hopefully make up a lot of his points in FA. Libby is a tough name to lose. I think he could have a good chance at a rotation spot with Flaherty leaving- plus he’s looked solid all spring.
All in all I think this deal works out for both SD and I. I’m happy with the control I have in my OF and Rotation. Thanks SD for the deal!

Accept - well thought out offer fitting for both teams. Have the cap and infield depth to grab an ace in Cease. Libby being added was the kicker for me to give into the arb contracts. Thx MIN good luck
