Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Deville Dandies
Acquires Paul Skenes ($30), a 23-year-old ace with 831.0 FPTS in 2025 and 23.71 projection - an elite SP1 who transforms the rotation. Also gets Carson Williams ($3), a cheap young SS prospect. Sheds Flaherty's declining $28 and Celesten's unproven $4.
Why The Dang Kookaburra Polks Would Accept
Gets Flaherty ($28) who had 599.5 FPTS in 2024 as a bounce-back candidate at a lower price point than Skenes. Celesten ($4) is a 20-year-old SS prospect with upside. The team saves $1 net but this is a tough sell - would need to believe Flaherty bounces back.
