I accept. I think Ridder is going to have a long career in FCM, and I hope he does, but I had to move either him or Dyball this offseason. Anderson also looks very good, and Epshteyn could be a solid middle of the roto type pitcher. But bottom line is, when you can get an ace in his prime, you gotta consider it. Going for the NL East this year, and this helps a ton.

Accepted.

Anderson looks like he could be quite good, as does Epshteyn, and Ridder is a star catcher who makes nothing. Hard to sell of an ace, but this needed to be done.
