Josh Rojas - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 7)

BALLER MOVE: Sell Josh Rojas ANALYSIS: Rojas has never been much of a factor when it comes to fantasy baseball. While he did steal 23 bases for the Diamondbacks in 2022, he only hit nine home runs on his way to recording a .122 ISO. For his career, he has a .315 wOBA and a... Read More

Julio Rodriguez- Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 7)

BALLER MOVE: Buy Julio Rodriguez ANALYSIS: There has been a recurring theme for Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez in his first three MLB seasons.

Buy or Sell Bo Bichette? Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets (Week 6)

BALLER MOVE: Sell Bo Bichette ANALYSIS: Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has had a rough start to the 2024 season.

Corbin Carroll - Fantasy Baseball Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: This Corbin Carroll drop-off needs to be studied. Since injuring his shoulder on a swing back on July 6, 2023 in a blowout loss to the New York Mets, Carroll is batting a mediocre .255 (98-for-385) with just eight home runs and 35 RBI across this 102-game... Read More

Corey Seager - Fantasy Baseball Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 7 (2024)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues ANALYSIS: Batting second every day in an explosive Texas Rangers offense, Corey Seager has somehow driven in a mere eight runs through 29 games this season after tallying a career-high 96 RBI in just 119 contests last year.

Randy Arozarena - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 6)

BALLER MOVE: Buy: Randy Arozarena What a disastrous start it’s been for former ALCS MVP and postseason hero Randy Arozarena, who’s slashing a paltry .139/.220/.235 with three home runs, nine RBI, 12 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 127 plate appearances (31 games). That’s hard to believe out of a player who was quickly... Read More

Jack Flaherty - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 6)

BALLER MOVE: Buy: Jack Flaherty The Jack Flaherty renaissance is something some members of the fantasy community bet on when he landed with the Detroit Tigers at the pitcher-friendly Comerica Park for home games and the soft AL Central this past offseason, but even the biggest optimists probably weren’t expecting this level of success. Injuries,... Read More

Tanner Houck - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 6)

BALLER MOVE: Sell: Tanner Houck It looks like the Boston Red Sox finally found the best way to utilize Tanner Houck.
