I was looking at the possible ways to get a top 2 pick in the draft this year.  Hate to give up Lynch but I got a bunch of pitching prospects right now, probably more then I would like to have (see Whitley and Kopech last 3 years).  Anyway, the last time I had the #2 pick in the draft I took.. Kevin Maitan (yikes!)  so what can go wrong?  hopefully this will work out for me better.  Thanks Joe for the easy negotiations and trade.  Good luck with Lynch.

Appreciate the good deal. You came with a solid offer which set the tone for easy talks. I had my draft plan set but this seems like a good pivot.

Love this on both sides. Don’t worry Darren, I took Luis Almanzar at pick 12 that same draft.
