Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps John Rocker All-Stars
Sheds Rutschman ($25, down year at 180 FPTS), Steele ($15, out with elbow), and Brazoban ($3, aging RP). Gets Trevor Rogers ($7, breakout 514 FPTS with 18.59 projection - elite value) and Ivan Herrera ($5, young C with 374 FPTS). Saves $31 in salary while getting a better-performing SP and a productive catcher replacement. Massive cap relief.
Why Take Maholm Tonight Would Accept
Take Maholm gets Rutschman, a proven top-tier catcher who should bounce back (548 FPTS in 2023, only 28 years old). Steele is a stash candidate with 634 FPTS in 2023 when healthy. Brazoban adds RP depth. They're at $367 with room to absorb the salary increase to $404.
