Ok but like I said, in their formula is very simple.
Projected WAR iconverted to dollars minus projected salaries. Sometimes they add marketability crap in there, which is fine for Trout or Betts, but probably not applicable to Castillo or Torres.
So find some projections for WAR for both players. Find their projected salaries. Do the math and see how it works out.
Or just contact the site and ask for an explanation. They update things all the time and welcome user input. I've gotten them to update numerous player values based on various logic, including this week when I questioned their insanely low valuation of Matt Boyd...

In the past year, #Padres General Manager A.J. Preller has traded away 29 players, and still have one of the top 5 farm systems and a legitimate World Series contender.

Padres rotation in 2021: Snell, Darvish, Lamet, Paddack, Gore/Lucchesi/Morejon/Weathers.
Each players is under contract for multiple years and Mike Clevinger will return in 2022. These Padres are built to last.
It sounds like the Padres are set up for both the short and long terms. To be able to trade away 29 prospects in a year to build a WS contender for several years and still maintain a top 5 farm system which includes most of your very top prospects is incredible. Baseball goals.
The Padres trail only the Dodgers in projected team WAR and in odds of winning the World Series. If it's not the Sox, I really hope the Padres win it all.
I don't think all the 29 were prospects, but it still shows how it can be done.
