Why This Trade Works
Why This Helps Take Maholm Tonight
Acquires Austin Riley ($26), a premium 3B who fills the team's biggest positional need. Riley has elite upside (655 FPTS in 2023) and is only 28. Also gets Hurston Waldrep ($6), a young SP with solid ratios. Dumps Castellanos ($36) and Ozuna ($15) who are both aging and declining, saving $28 net.
Why Deville Dandies Would Accept
Deville Dandies has massive cap room ($214 available) and can easily absorb both contracts. They get two proven veteran bats to fill OF/DH spots. Castellanos and Ozuna give them immediate production while their young core develops. Riley has been slow to start and they may want to sell high on his name value.
