Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Take Maholm Tonight
Gets Riley Greene ($15, 517 FPTS in 2025, age 25, LF/CF/DH eligible - major upgrade over Ozuna). Brazoban ($3) is a cheap RP. Dumps Ozuna ($15, declining at 35, only 348 FPTS) and Taillon ($9, mediocre SP). Saves $6 in salary while getting younger and better.
Why John Rocker All-Stars Would Accept
John Rocker is at $484 and goes to exactly $500 cap. They get Ozuna who was a 656 FPTS player in 2024 as a DH option, and Taillon provides SP depth behind their loaded rotation. They have Greene but also have Bellinger-level OF depth through other teams. Greene is expendable given they have Acuna, Wood, Carter, Kjerstad at OF spots. Brazoban is a minor piece.
