Treat Polo well for us. From a Twins perspective, I came away kinda baffled that our side received so much cash in the deal given that we're in similar positions organizationally and competitively.
We needed the SP org depth so taking on DeSclafani's contract wasn't too killer if enough money was sent our way to match. But given the haul we got, I can't help but wonder why even more cash than that was apparently necessary to seal the deal.

Yeah it's kind of a funky one. Surprised the Mariners were willing to send that much cash their way to to save that ~$4 million or so.
I've got a lot of friends and family who are Twins fans so I hope the deal works out well for both sides.
