Fantasy Baseball Trade Outlooks
Below are some fantasy baseball outlooks written by our MLB team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy baseball analysis and advice on which players to consider trading for or trading away heading into Week 10:
Jose Ramirez, 3B, Cleveland Guardians
Trade Value: 76
ROS Rank: 15
Across 276 plate appearances entering play on Thursday, Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez had hit .245/.351/.433 with nine home runs, 32 RBI, 36 runs scored, and 21 stolen bases. While the 33-year-old's .784 OPS this season still represents above-average production, it's well below the .868 OPS he posted across back-to-back top-five finishes in the American League MVP vote in 2024 and 2025.
Still, Ramirez's 7% barrel rate is right in line with his career norms, and his 44.8% hard-hit rate is actually the best mark of his career. Ramirez's plate skills also remain elite, as he's drawn 39 walks on the season and struck out just 35 times. Ramirez is already an elite source of speed, and there's plenty of reason to believe that the rest of his fantasy profile will return to elite status over the remainder of 2026.
Verdict: While Ramirez may not be acquired at a low cost, those looking for a potential league-winner without paying current first-round value should consider sending an offer.
Sal Stewart, 1B, Cincinnati Reds
Trade Value: 53
ROS Rank: 43
Cincinnati Reds infielder Sal Stewart got off to a hot start to the 2026 season, hitting .283/.373/.570 with nine home runs, 29 RBI, 20 runs, and seven stolen bases through the end of April. However, the 22-year-old cooled off considerably in May, hitting .240/.336/.375 with three home runs, eight RBI, 14 runs, and three stolen bases across 119 plate appearances. Given Stewart's age, it's not a surprise to see him struggle after the league has some time to gather information on him. Still, Stewart will now need to counter with an adjustment of his own.
Even with his relatively rough May baked in, Stewart's 12.5% walk rate and 14.7% barrel rate suggest an elite combination of plate skills and power. The young slugger is also locked into everyday playing time in Cincinnati and should have an extended runway to work his way out of his current slump. Managers may want to slightly downgrade expectations for Stewart, but he remains a high-upside fantasy hitter.
Verdict: Even though Stewart has cooled down from his elite start, the budding star remains a must-start option for the foreseeable future and could be acquired at a lower cost amid this slump.
Brent Rooker, OF, Athletics
Trade Value: 39
ROS Rank: 69
Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker has had a rough go of it so far in 2026, hitting .196/.277/.362 with eight home runs, 26 RBI, 16 runs scored, and two stolen bases across 184 plate appearances. The 31-year-old's season got off to a rocky start due to injury, as he missed nearly three weeks in April with an oblique strain. After striking out in 22.2% of his plate appearances in 2025, Rooker's strikeout rate has skyrocketed to 31% in 2026. Even with the increase in swing-and-miss, Rooker's poor batting average may be a symptom of bad luck.
His current batting average on balls in play of .240 is well below his career mark of .312. Rooker's power does not appear to have degraded either, as his 14.7% barrel rate is right in line with the marks he posted across three consecutive 30-homer campaigns from 2023 to 2025. If Rooker can cut down on his whiffs even slightly, he could be in line for a major bounce-back over the remainder of 2026.
Verdict: His slower start has created a great buy window for one of the game's premier power bats. His upside is lower in points leaguers but those needing a 20+ HR bat in their lineup should begin to send offers.
Manny Machado, 3B, San Diego Padres
Trade Value: 37
ROS Rank: 73
San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado has struggled mightily so far in 2026, hitting .172/.263/.344 with 10 home runs, 30 RBI, 28 runs scored, and one stolen base across 241 plate appearances. It's a startling decline for the veteran, who entered 2026 riding a streak of five consecutive seasons with at least a .258 batting average, 27 home runs, and 91 RBI. Machado's issues at the plate have been at least partially fueled by bad luck, as his .177 batting average on balls in play is significantly below his career mark of .296.
However, there are some worrying signs in his underlying metrics. Machado's 8.2% barrel rate is his worst since 2019, and his 44.3% hard-hit rate is his lowest since 2020. The 33-year-old's strikeout rate has also slipped to a career-worst 23.2%. Machado's production feels likely to regress to the mean over a larger sample, but he may finally be exhibiting signs of age-related decline.
Verdict: While Machado is not a top buy-low candidate, those looking for a reliable option at 3B with a safe floor should look to target the veteran at a cheaper cost.
Fantasy Baseball Trade Rankings Values
The higher the Trade Value number, the higher the priority for targeting in trades. Find your players, add up the trade values of each side of the offer, and see which side of the trade wins.
Who Should I Trade For?
Week 10 Trade Decisions. Today's focus is on specific players - Sal Stewart, Payton Tolle, Austin Riley, Kyle Tucker, Brent Rooker, Ronald Acuna Jr., Jose Ramirez, Nico Hoerner, Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr. These are some key fantasy baseball names heading into this week's matchups.
Using The Trade Values. This is a simple trade value tool, but very powerful. In our fantasy baseball trade value rankings above, you will see the Trade Value for each player. The higher the number, the higher the priority for targeting in trades. Players with a high trade value number are players that you should be targeting more in trades.
How It Works. Each week, our RotoBaller staff puts together their weekly fantasy baseball rankings, projections, and trade values based on their research. That information is the core data that is powering the decision-making in this trade value rankings.
How To Calculate Trades. Fantasy baseball managers will make 1-for-1 trades, or 2-for-3 trades, or 3-for-2 trades, or many other combinations. For each side of the deal, add the trade values together. Whichever side has a higher total number wins the trade. For example, if someone is offering you three players, add the trade values of those three players together. Does the value of those three players exceed the values of the player(s) you are trading away? If so then it's a good deal for you.
