Why This Trade Works

Why This Helps The South Side Fuck Ups

Bellinger ($45) is overpaid and Ward ($8) is solid but expendable given OF depth. Getting Jarren Duran ($19) is a massive upgrade - younger, cheaper, elite production (531 FPTS with speed). Trevor Rogers ($7) adds a young SP having a breakout year (514 FPTS, 18.59 projected). Saves $19 while upgrading both positions.

Why Take Maholm Tonight Would Accept

Take Maholm gets Bellinger's name value and multi-position OF eligibility, plus Ward as a steady LF option. They have cap room to absorb the salary increase to $420. Bellinger and Ward give them two solid everyday OF bats to replace Duran and bolster their lineup.
