I don't think Dane Myers has anywhere close to this value. The .380 BABIP last year and .425 this year isn't sustainable for anyone. But I could conceivably buy he is a slightly better than league average bat with well above average CF defense. He's 29 year old, so the speed will go soon. What's that worth? I don't think 30MM in excess value, but I have no interest in Mead or Morel being a Ray anymore, so I do this trade. The Marlins are getting 2 guys who a year ago were highly sought after, and a recent 2nd rounder. This is the type of trade the Marlins should make, moving a 29 year old on a hot streak for 24 year olds playing poorly.

It's going to be an interesting trade deadline and offseason for the Rays I think. They really should trade everyone who won't be a Ray in 2028, because I'm thinking a lockout after the 2026 season is a certainty. Plus, the Rays aren't very good and I don't think they're going to be all that good in 2026, regardless of the moves they make in the next 10 months. And lets not forget they don't have a stadium to play in beyond 2028 and might be looking to start out with a bang in a new city around 2029/2030. I wouldn't be surprised to see some "surprising" trades made in the next 10 months. So with all that said, this trade doesn't excite me much. Curious how you see the overall situation though Shaq.
