I confirm. This trade helps me in my goal to contend in 2017. My OF was shallow in places and adding Cespedes really helps me out in the long run cause I get to add him for multiple years. I was fairly shallow at MI and adding Schoop helps to add a nice young addition to my squad who can swat a good amount of homers and help in other areas aswell.

I also reassessed where my team is during FA and decided to take a stwp back. While Cespedes is a solid player he is on a large contract and I feel that when my team is competitive it will be past his prime years while still on a large deal. Schoop for me was a bit of a sell high. I feel that what he did last year might be the high end of what schoop has to offer.

I really fell in love with Castellanos and think he is underrated, Thompson is a nice add with lots of years of control. Also really like Manning and Armentaros. I targeted them in the draft but never really had the pick where I could draft them.

This trade had lots of back and forth but in the end I was glad we could make a deal that should help both teams.
