Faced with this tweet, Kellyn Acosta himself responded by giving his version and indicating that it was the team that did not let him leave for Europe, even though they had already received formal offers from teams on the other side of the Atlantic.

Acosta's tweet read: "This narrative is sad. Colorado pushed me out. They had an offer on the table for me from overseas and ongoing interest and opted to trade me..."
