*Cue Simon & Garfunkel - The Sounds Of Silence*

Tried finding a good Succession GIF for this, but the good ones all had expletives in them. I need a CF for 1-2 months or I might as well start tearing down my team before the LAD-SD series even starts. I don't know how much more I can break it down, I'm not (yet) willing to give up on my season. ANTBOL.

Taveras dropped. This deal is a bit of a hedge on the 2024 season. I like adding a young guy with upside on the verge of the majors in Luciano. Hoping his decline in prospect rankings is more a reflection of his limited health last year and not skill decline, and manage to help my pitching depth this year (if Lorenzen ever signs). ANTBOL

Cap changes are flipped from the league's normal accounting in trades. Could you please update when you have a chance, St. Louis GM (Bert)?

Approve 1-0

I feel like I always forget the "right" way, I did it like my cap space was increasing. I see how it's confusing.

I believe Taveras had an 's' at the end of 'Leody' when he was first Stateside, but that it has been dropped in subsequent years. There is no 's' in the acquisition trade for Taveras, on his Fangraphs player page, or on Fantrax.
Could you please remove the 's' from the original trade post for accuracy and future search purposes?
Thanks

[Reds GM (Kyler)]

roster updated. apologies to Bert for having the s on my roster page. I missed the dropping of the letter in recent years

[St. Louis GM (Bert)]

Loving that Lorenzen FINALLY signs right after I do this.
