Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps The South Side Fuck Ups
Trades declining Bogaerts ($19, age 33, only 357.3 FPTS) and struggling Devin Williams ($19, 9.00 ERA) for Daulton Varsho ($3, CF eligible, 11.09 proj, incredible value) and Trevor Megill ($6, solid RP with 368.7 FPTS). Saves $29 in salary while getting a much better value CF and a useful reliever. Varsho at $3 is a steal.
Why Diamonds Aren't For Devers Would Accept
Gets Bogaerts as SS depth (they have Betts at SS but could use insurance) and Devin Williams who has elite closer upside (527.3 FPTS in 2023). Williams' struggles may be early-season noise. Diamonds has cap room and could benefit from Williams' high ceiling.
