This is a bit of a scary deal, trading away a lot of upside.
I think in a vacuum Julien vs Steer is a pretty fascinating challenge trade. I'm throwing in some decent prospect talent to acknowledge that Steer's 2023 was better than Julien's - I guess we'll have to come back in 4-6 years' time to see if that is/was justified or not.
Thanks Mike

Twins accept.

Agreed with Stephen that this is an interesting challenge trade. Steer is going to fall out of bed and hit 0.250/75/20/75/10 and likely beat Julien in AVG, RBI, and SB and have eligibility at 4 positions next year. I am doing this trade as I do see some upside in Julien's profile if he can become a little more aggressive, and expect him to carry 2B eligibility beyond next year (though likely end up at 1B/DH). If he can't improve against lefties, he may get platooned, but hopefully it will be with Brooks Lee giving me high level pair at 2B.

Chourio and Bin-Cho are a couple of prospects that I like with enough potential to make up for the performance and 2024 eligibility difference of Steer and Julien.

Thanks Stephen.
