ATL accepts. I'm sure this trade will cause quite a stir so let me break down this trade the best i can and also my thinking on this. Gonzacez, Faller, Lemons and Bullock for Trembath and Phair is the basis of this trade. 10M and Weber for Cote is the other half. With the recent deal with CIN, i have a TON of young pitching which allows me to deal some of my young pitching and let Trembath follow me to ATL. Trembath has proven in DET he is a legit ace, and at only 31, i feel he has plenty of years ahead of him. Yes, I'm trading a lot, but everything i'm dealing is from an area of strength. You may ask why ATL would need/want Trembath. Pitching wins in this league. Trust me, i've tried for years in DET to out hit everyone with limited success. Now that i'm in ATL, i will build this team on strong pitching as the basis of this team. While I dont think i should have to explain it this much, i know this will leave people asking questions, so, there ya go.
