Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps The Dang Kookaburra Polks

Acquires Matt Chapman ($11) to fill the 3B hole - he has 392.2 FPTS in 2025 and is a proven producer. Austin Wells ($11) provides C depth/upgrade potential behind Raleigh. Sheds Donovan's $29 contract and Pagan's declining $10 for a net savings of $17.

Why Honey Nut Chourio Would Accept

Honey Nut Chourio gets Donovan who provides multi-position flexibility (2B/LF) they need given their roster construction, and Pagan as a RP arm. Donovan's .417 AVG in early 2025 is enticing and he fills their 2B/utility need.
