we accept. i'm hoping rincon can be a solid player, we'll see. the cash helps with the stadium. i hate dealing those picks, but gotta give to get. and i think hebert can be a nice bat going forward as well.

Minnesota accepts. Hate to deal Rincon because I had really high hopes for him at 3B, but we're looking to build some kind of depth in the farm system to start building with. Shores isn't a bad hand on the bench.
