Fantasy Baseball: Players to deal for and deal away before Yahoo's default trade deadline
Yahoo Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Yahoo fantasy baseball trade deadline is Thursday, Aug. 6, urging managers to act quickly to improve their rosters before the fantasy playoffs.
- Managers are advised to trade hitters for pitchers due to a steady influx of hitting talent in the majors and the high value of elite pitchers for the playoff stretch.
- Recommended buy-low targets include Riley Greene, who has promising underlying metrics despite recent struggles, Kenley Jansen, a veteran closer with save opportunities, and José Soriano, a Blue Jays pitcher with strong strikeout potential.
- Sell-low advice focuses on Colson Montgomery, whose poor second-half metrics and inconsistency make him a risky asset despite his home run total.
- Buy-high and sell-high suggestions highlight Jackson Merrill, who has improved significantly post-break, as a good acquisition, and Jeremy Peña, whose production may be inflated, as a candidate to trade for a more reliable fantasy star.
