Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps The Hamate's Tale
Moves struggling Javier ($17, 4.62 ERA) and low-value Norby ($3) for Lucas Giolito ($6, 421.9 FPTS, solid bounce-back) and Zac Veen ($2, young OF prospect). Saves $12 in salary. Giolito at $6 is much better value than Javier at $17 for similar production. Veen is a cheap lottery ticket.
Why John Rocker All-Stars Would Accept
John Rocker is at $484 and would go to $504 which is over cap - HOWEVER they could cut low-value pieces. Javier has ace ceiling (372.4 FPTS in 2023) and is a buy-low. Norby provides cheap 3B depth. They're getting upside at positions of need.
