Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Diamonds Aren't For Devers
Trades away Devers ($46) and Chapman ($6) for Jordan Westburg ($9), a 27-year-old 2B/3B with solid upside, and Matthew Boyd ($6), who has 598.1 FPTS in 2025 with a 19.37 projection - an elite SP value. Saves $37 in salary while adding a productive SP and versatile infielder.
Why The Hamate's Tale Would Accept
Gets Devers ($46), a name-brand 3B/1B/DH who has historically produced 600+ FPTS seasons and is only 29. Chapman ($6) provides cheap closing relief. The Hamate's Tale has Jose Ramirez at 3B but Devers can slot at DH. They're buying low on a proven star. Fits under their $500 cap at $499.
