Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps #RallyZito
Upgrades Cease ($30, declining) to Garrett Crochet ($22, 895.3 FPTS, age 26, proj 23.53) - a massive SP upgrade at lower salary. Adds Aroldis Chapman ($6, 548.8 FPTS) as an elite RP. McNeil ($4) is expendable depth. Net +$20 salary but still under cap at $477.
Why Diamonds Aren't For Devers Would Accept
Gets Cease ($30) as rotation depth and McNeil ($4) as a versatile multi-position bat (2B/LF/CF/DH eligibility). Their roster needs positional flexibility and McNeil provides that. Saves salary overall which helps their roster construction.
