The author overstates the value of these returns using mostly words, and some bad numbers…
Dylan Floro, a 33-year-old journeyman with a 2.06 ERA, was flipped for Andrés Chaparro, a slugging corner infielder with a .950+ OPS in Triple-A.
Chaparro, for instance, is 26 years old, he’s had over 1000 AAA PA, with an 863 OPS (950+??)…all in the International League (almost identical to Edouard Julien’s IL OPS, in addition to being the same age as Julien). Meanwhile, he’s only playing DH and 1B in 2025, so his status as a ‘corner infielder’ also seems in question.
The profile is much more “40-man roster depth” than “emerging corner-infield slugger”.
