It also just looks a bit shady when a dude comes into the league and gets bent over immediatly, without posting that ANY of these high profile players were available. Hence the maybe we should boot him.

The Twins point is one that has come up before and is valid. I joined this league in November and have seen at least a dozen GMs come and go. It's no coincidence that the lesser rosters have been the last remaining ones to be filled.
I also have made probably 20 trades since joining and have had a trade discussed by other GMs as too lop-sided in my favor, and another discussed as too lop-sided for the other team. So I've seen both sides.
With that, it is nice to see the White Sox conviction in how happy he with this deal, therefore I don't believe it should be veto'd, though I would definately be in favor of any league-wide vote were it to be called. I can still believe it is very lop-sided (which I do), but I do not believe it is right to tell other GMs what they can or cannot do if they are acting in good faith.

He may be happy with the deal, but we're trying to make this league competitive, and that includes making deals that favor both teams. The league won't be competitive if deals like this continue happening. The continous talk of the power rankings and all was to be scared of the whitesox because of their young pitching and that they could be good in the future...now what do they have? Chris Young and who else? Jeremy Sowers may sim well, but he won't be very good next year in the projections. He just gave up two top of the rotation guys who could anchor his rotation along with Young for years to come for who? Jake Woods? He's barely a starter...his rotation is left now in a very bad position. Look, I really don't like to complain about trades, I hate to be an ass and all, but I really want this league to be very competitive and deals like this are doing the exact same opposite of what the league wants...
