Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Take Maholm Tonight
Upgrades CF massively with Byron Buxton ($24, 627 FPTS in 2025, elite production with 13.94 projection). Noah Cameron ($5, 431 FPTS) provides cheap SP depth. Dumps Castellanos ($36, declining) and Loperfido ($4, only 81 FPTS). Net salary savings of $15.
Why Clark's No Pants Party Would Accept
Clark's has massive cap space ($289 remaining) and can easily absorb Castellanos's $36 salary. Castellanos is a proven bat (461 FPTS in 2024, 515 in 2023) who could be a solid RF for them. Loperfido adds cheap OF depth. They're a rebuilding team that can afford to move Buxton (injury-prone, age 32) and Cameron for established names.
