Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps The Dang Kookaburra Polks

Dumps Manaea's $33 salary while getting Junior Caminero (3B, 22yo, 637.5 FPTS in 2025, $9) who fills the glaring 3B hole. Jacob Melton ($2) is a cheap CF prospect. Saves $45 in salary, fills 3B need, and adds youth. Abrams ($16) is expendable given SS depth.

Why #RallyZito Would Accept

RallyZito gets a proven SS in Abrams (25yo, consistent ~480 FPTS) and Manaea who had 592 FPTS in 2024 and could bounce back. They have SS depth but Pena is their only true SS starter. Abrams is a significant upgrade. Manaea adds SP depth behind their aging Sale.
