Minnesota accepts. Without doubt, we were in the market for a big time arm. We lost out on Cerillo and decided to move chips to Carolino.

Texas accepts. This boiled down to which of the quite excellent offers
was going to afford us the greatest freedom to craft our own rebuild
going long on high DP's and shorter on specs.

But it was close. Damn close.
