Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps #RallyZito

Acquires Jhoan Duran ($15, 473.4 FPTS, elite closer with 32 saves and 7.44 proj) and Matthew Boyd ($6, 598.1 FPTS, 19.37 proj - having a career renaissance). Dumps Cease ($30) and Melton ($2). Saves $15 in salary while adding an elite RP and upgrading SP. Boyd at $6 is better value than Cease at $30.

Why The Hamate's Tale Would Accept

Gets Dylan Cease ($30), a high-upside SP who had 660 FPTS in 2024 - a reclamation project with ace ceiling. Jacob Melton ($2) is a cheap CF prospect. Hamate's has Corbin Burnes injured and Cristian Javier struggling, so Cease provides needed SP depth. They're at $456 and go to $488, still under cap.
