Yea, this is correct. When Hahn got a call from Theo at the all-star game and told him they we’re prepared to offer Eloy + Cease as the front of this trade, Hahn jumped on it right away. They agreed in principle there while working out the back end shortly afterward.
Hahn said the two of Eloy and Cease “far surpassed anything else that was on the table.”
That’s what I recall Rick saying at the time of the trade.
