Episode Notes
On this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast, Grey and B_Don talk about baseball's trade deadline that brought chaos and opportunity, and this episode breaks down every major move and what it means for your fantasy team. We start with the Padres making waves, acquiring Mason Miller and JP Sears from Oakland; so who gets more saves down the stretch, Miller or Suarez?
San Diego also added Ryan O’Hearn and Ramon Laureano from Baltimore, but does the move change their fantasy value? Houston brought back Carlos Correa from Minnesota to take over third base, but does he warrant a roster spot? Houston also grabbed Jesus Sanchez from Miami.
Meanwhile, Seattle landed a power bat in Eugenio Suarez from Arizona. The Phillies made a huge move, acquiring Jhoan Duran from Minnesota. I ask Grey if you can trust him as a top-five reliever rest-of-season. With Duran gone, who closes for the Twins now—Cole Sands, Justin Topa, or someone else? The Phillies stayed busy, also adding Harrison Bader.
While the Yankees completely retooled their bullpen with David Bednar and Camilo Doval, early returns have not been ideal. We break down how the late-inning roles shake out in New York and what happens in Pittsburgh and San Francisco now that their closers are gone.
The Mets made moves too, landing Ryan Helsley and Cedric Mullins, but with the downgrade in park, does Mullins still hold value? We talk about some pitchers moving to new parks like: Merrill Kelly, Charlie Morton, Shane Bieber, Dustin May ,Griffin Jax, Adrian Houser, Jordan Montgomery, and Shelby Miller.
Cincinnati made several moves including trading for Ke’Bryan Hayes, Zack Littell, and Miguel Andujar. We also touch on the Cubs, Royals, Angels, and more of the trade deadline action.
On the prospect front, Logan Henderson was called up by Milwaukee, and Alex Freeland joins the Dodgers. CJ Kayfus arrives in Cleveland after raking in AAA, and Jakob Marsee is up to the majors too. With the August 15th service time cutoff looming, we talk about who else might be on the way.
