Confirmed.
I really didn't want to deal Urias. I almost didn't make this deal, but the package I got is probably a fair price for any pitcher except Kershaw.
You almost couldn't not trade Urias if you're getting that return.

With the volatility of young pitchers, absolutely. If you're going to bet heavy on a young pitcher in the sport it's probably Urias (already a fringe ace performance wise as a 20 yr old, incredible peripherals years younger than his competition in the minors, not overly reliant on velocity)..but still, it's a young pitcher. So much can go wrong.
This would have been like selling the farm for a 20 yr old Carey Price. Everything needs to go perfect for it to not be a complete cluster**** for you...but if it does go right for you, you'll never give a shit what you gave up for him, regardless of price. What would you give up for a 20 yr old Kershaw?

Yeah, if there's anyone who's a "safe" pitching prospect, it's a guy who put up elite numbers as a 20-year old. I mean, his second half FIP was under 3, I think.
Compounded on it was the fact that Montana has such a freaking dominant team that I really didn't want to deal with him to potentially give him "another" Kershaw. This would have been a lot easier to pull off if I got the same offer from one of the rebuilding teams.

Full marks to you.....most managers (myself included) get asked about a prospect like Urias and are too quick to say "he's untouchable".....you took the extra time to put together the counter-offer that would be needed for you to part with him......and got rewarded handsomely for doing so.
Good PSA for the value of the counter offer....let someone know what you'd need to make the deal, and you've at least got a shot at getting it. Worst they can say is no.
