Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Take Maholm Tonight
Dumps Castellanos's bloated $36 contract and the struggling Will Vest ($6) while acquiring Jordan Westburg ($9), a 27-year-old 2B/3B who fills the 3B need and has 17 HR already this season, plus Dennis Santana ($6), a solid RP with 415 FPTS and good projections. Saves $15 in salary while upgrading both 3B and RP.
Why The Hamate's Tale Would Accept
The Hamate's Tale gets a proven veteran bat in Castellanos who has multi-year 460+ FPTS track record and fills an OF need, plus a cheap RP depth piece. They have cap room to absorb the salary and Westburg has been underperforming his draft cost.
