Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps John Rocker All-Stars
Trades Hader ($34, elite RP but expensive) and Kjerstad ($9, minimal production at 42 FPTS). Gets Austin Riley ($26, proven 3B with 655 FPTS in 2023, currently returning from injury) and Jack Flaherty ($28, 332 FPTS in 2025 with 14.96 projection). Fills the 3B hole with a star-caliber player and adds SP depth. Slight salary decrease.
Why Deville Dandies Would Accept
Deville Dandies at $286 have massive cap room. They get Hader, an elite closer who provides immediate RP stability (433 FPTS, 28 saves). Kjerstad is a cheap young OF flier. They shed Riley who is injury-prone and Flaherty who is overpaid. Net salary stays similar.
