The FO looks at it as "what helps the team win in '26 vs what helps the team win down the road?" Duran helps more in the short term, but Rafaela's long term contribution exceeds Duran's? It also may come down to what other teams offer for players. We heard rumblings of the Marlins wanting Rafaela before, but maybe they weren't offering enough?
I'm open to trading anyone and don't really have an order for who needs to go first. It really depends on what you can get out of the deals. I could see either of the three OFers dealt.
