Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps #RallyZito
Dumps Dylan Cease ($30) and Jeff McNeil ($4) to acquire Aroldis Chapman ($6, 548.8 FPTS - best RP in the league this year) and Daulton Varsho ($3, CF eligible, 294.4 FPTS with 11.09 proj). Saves $25 in salary while filling both CF and RP needs. Chapman at $6 is incredible value.
Why Diamonds Aren't For Devers Would Accept
Gets Dylan Cease ($30), a SP with ace upside who had 660 FPTS in 2024 and could bounce back. McNeil ($4) provides cheap utility depth. Their SP staff could use depth behind Fried and Crochet, and Cease's ceiling is worth the gamble. Chapman at 38 may not sustain production.
