Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps John Rocker All-Stars
Saves $14 in salary. Rutschman ($25, 180 FPTS in 2025) has been a major disappointment - moving him clears cap space. Steele ($15) is out with an elbow injury and a dead roster spot. Jordan Westburg ($9) provides 2B/3B flexibility with solid production (276.5 FPTS, 17 HR). Cristian Javier ($17) has high upside (372 FPTS in 2023) and a strong projection (14.91) as he returns to form, replacing the injured Steele slot.
Why The Hamate's Tale Would Accept
The Hamate's Tale gets Rutschman, a premium catcher who could bounce back (548 FPTS in 2023, .820 OPS currently). They currently have only Edgar Quero at C. Steele, when healthy, was a top-tier SP (634 FPTS in 2023, 444 in 2024) - a worthwhile stash. They have Westburg as a spare with Ketel Marte and Brandon Lowe at 2B, and Javier has been underperforming for them.
