Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps Guys I Have Coached

Upgrade SS from Bichette ($28, 570.8 FPTS but inconsistent history) to Elly De La Cruz ($12, 550.2 FPTS with elite speed upside) at a $16 salary savings. Lose Estevez ($8 RP) but gain Aaron Ashby ($7 RP) as a replacement. EDLC is younger (24 vs 28) with a higher ceiling and costs less than half.

Why THE Bathing Beauties Would Accept

Bathing Beauties have tons of cap space ($198 remaining) and can absorb Bichette's salary. They get a proven SS in Bichette who had 570.8 FPTS in 2025 and Estevez as a quality closer (467.3 FPTS). They already have EDLC but may prefer the more consistent Bichette profile, and Estevez fills their RP needs.
