What they cost today

Everything above is priced on the day each deal happened, which is the only honest way to grade a completed trade. It is not what they cost now. Today Darnell Mooney prices at 69 and J.K. Dobbins at 226, so the market currently rates J.K. Dobbins about 3.3x the other. A pair can lean one way across its history and price the opposite way now; that gap is the whole reason to check the deal in front of you rather than the deal someone made in 2023.

Read each row as: Darnell Mooney, plus anything in the third column, was traded for J.K. Dobbins plus anything in the fourth. An em dash means that side sent nobody else. Margin is the value gap at that day’s prices from the side that received Darnell Mooney; positive means that side came out ahead.

The whole-deal margin

Across all 22, the whole-deal value gap runs -19.9% from the side that received Darnell Mooney, so the side ending up with J.K. Dobbins has generally come out ahead on face value. That measures the entire trade, every piece included, not these two players against each other.

Why this beats a calculator on this exact question

A calculator answers “is Darnell Mooney for J.K. Dobbins fair” by subtracting one number from another, and it gives every manager in your league the same answer. That tells you nothing about whether the trade closes. What closes it is whether one side has to attach a piece, and which side that usually is. The 22 deals above are the record of what leagues actually agreed to when these two were on the table together.
