Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps The Hamate's Tale

Dumps Javier ($17, terrible production), SWR ($3, struggling), and Norby ($3, limited playing time) for Tyler Soderstrom ($7, 515 FPTS, young 1B/LF with power) and Jeff Hoffman ($8, 373 FPTS, solid RP with closer experience). Saves $8 in salary. Soderstrom is a significant upgrade at 1B over Steer/Aranda and is only 24. Hoffman adds proven bullpen depth.

Why Rebels Cum Would Accept

Rebels Cum has $250 in cap room and is clearly rebuilding. Javier has ace ceiling and is only 28 - perfect buy-low stash. SWR is 25 with upside. Norby is a cheap young infielder. Total cost of $23 is very manageable for their budget. They get three young players with upside for two established pieces.
