Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Take Maholm Tonight
Sheds Sonny Gray ($33, age 36, declining) and the injured/struggling Santander ($22) while acquiring Dylan Cease ($30), who is younger and has elite upside (660 FPTS in 2024), plus Max Muncy ($2) as a cheap utility infield option. Saves $23 in salary while getting a younger SP with higher ceiling.
Why #RallyZito Would Accept
#RallyZito is at $457 and would go to $485, still under cap. They get Sonny Gray who has been a consistent 500+ FPTS pitcher and Santander who was a 640 FPTS player in 2024 and could bounce back from injury. Adds OF depth they need (they're heavy on pitching and infield).
