Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps #RallyZito
Upgrades from underperforming Cease ($30, 369.5 FPTS) to Paul Skenes ($30, 831.0 FPTS, age 23, proj 23.71) - an elite young ace. Adds Cade Smith ($9) as a high-end RP (467.5 FPTS). Jazz Chisholm ($16) is expendable given Maikel Garcia covers 2B/3B. Net salary increase of $13 is manageable.
Why The Dang Kookaburra Polks Would Accept
Gets Jazz Chisholm ($16), a dynamic 2B/3B with power/speed upside to replace Brendan Donovan who is injury-prone. Cease ($30) gives rotation depth at a position of need since they're losing Skenes. Saves $13 in salary which helps their tight cap. Jazz's multi-position eligibility is valuable.
