The White Sox would be getting 6.4 years of a shortstop who's hitting 36% above league average and playing great defense, all of which would be under market value in salary. He's the big get. Senzel has never come close to putting up a league-average season at the plate, and he's heading into his expensive Arb2 year. He's a non-tender candidate for most teams, which is why his value is slightly negative. On the other side, Bummer's 2023 numbers are solid. Don't focus on the ERA, as that is an incredibly noisy stat for relievers. His advanced stats, which are what most FOs look at, and which have more predictive value, are right in line with his track record. His 2.36 FIP is, in fact, his best since 2020. The rest of the values would seem self-explanatory. It's a fair trade.
