If this deal had been made three or four years ago I might have been excited about it. Cameron Maybin was a first-round pick (10th overall in 2005), once a top prospect and he became a pretty good MLB player who could steal bases — before 2020 he had 183 career steals in 238 attempts, a 77 percent success rate, which is pretty good.
