Minnesota accepts. Unfortunately, the deal fell through with Boston earlier and Arizona offered me this deal. We had been in negotiations over both pieces before. Again, we are moving Ascunce to make room for a more prominent piece in MIN and don't want Ascunce to die at SP 4 or 5. We are looking to add draft picks, prospects, and cash and this deal offers all of that.

I was looking at my options in free agency after thinking about it didn't think it was worth going after velinovki (or whatever his name is), Humphreys or Ivan Velasquez former Zona Legend.

Sacrificing youth this year to have a shot at winning NLW.

I accept.
