Cleveland agree. My reasoning here doesn't need much explanation, as Thor is clearly a superstar, and you don't get the opportunity to trade for guys like him all that often. As a result, I am happy to give up players ranked 12, 16, 29 and 33 in BA's latest top-100 update, plus a 1st round pick, to get him. Great chatting with Chris, and really hope that most of these guys end up breaking out in a big way for him, and maybe even something could come from Strahm or Montas as a little bonus.

Confirm. Don't love moving Syndergaard, but I'm out of it this year, and I feel like this is a very strong return. Lots of good back and forth here, but I ended up with 4 top 30-40ish guys, plus a first round pick, so I feel pretty good about it.
