Not sure I've ever been as frustrated with a player in a season as I have been with Strasburg this year. Im happy to flip him for a beast in Stanton. I wanted an ace but I get decent pitching depth on expiring contracts

[Andrew (Dallas)]

Dallas accepts.

Finally we can get off Stanton's monstrous contract.
Pretty sure we won't contend this year, so Stanton and all the expiring contracts are expendable.
Getting an ace like Stras for Stanton is not that bad. We also get Belt and two additional 2nd round picks.
This will be the start of our rebuilding project.

[Vik (Seattle)]

Approve.

Stanton has a horrible salary but Strasburg has been horrible overall. Belt is solid and the three other players TEX trades are all rentals. The AMAT picks could be nice as well.

[Matt (Chicago)]

approve, nice trade fellas
