I accept.
I don't ever say anyone is untouchable, but Yordan would have been pretty close. However there were some holes that I needed to address and when SEA acquired Judge I felt peak Judge and Peak Alvarez are pretty similar. I also see this as a chance to buy low a bit on Judge who was absolutely demolishing baseballs at the end of the year and with the whole Astros controversy going on right now I don't feel as great about Yordan's Swinging Strike rate as I did before. I'm a big fan of Vogelbach, and an even bigger fan of him in this format and with no current or near future options at 1st acquiring him felt like it made up for difference in control between Judge and Alvarez. I felt the picks and a decent spec was enough to pay for Vogelbach and to pick up a prospect preference swap in Jimenez who I almost selected at 1.05. I'm committing a cardinal sin by selling low on Trammell, but I've already moved on a bit from him and I'm relatively deep at the position in the minors so it felt it easier to move him especially with Jimenez coming back.
Thanks to Robin for the negotiations and the trade.
