Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Diamonds Aren't For Devers
Acquires Paul Skenes ($30), a 23-year-old ace with 831.0 FPTS and 23.71 projection - an elite SP1 who pairs with Crochet and Fried for a dominant rotation. Sheds Diaz's $29 and Cavalli's $11 for a net $10 savings. Skenes is a generational pitching talent.
Why The Dang Kookaburra Polks Would Accept
Gets Edwin Diaz ($29), an elite closer to anchor their bullpen alongside Weaver, Cade Smith, and Uribe. Cade Cavalli ($11) is a young SP with upside. The Kookaburras have deep SP (Skenes, Alcantara, Manaea, Holmes, Priester) and can afford to trade one for elite RP help.
