Carlos Rodon to Yankees - Fantasy Baseball Impact

Baseball is a funny game sometimes. We first got a glimpse of Carlos Rodon in a Major League uniform in 2015. He showed some real promise at times and looked like he could eventually bust out as an ace in the league, but a high walk rate and a ton of different injuries kept preventing […]

Trea Turner to the Phillies - Fantasy Baseball Impact

There were four marquee shortstops listed on this year's free agency display. The Phillies, who needed a drastic change at shortstop, were the first bidders to commit to one of the shortstops. That would be Trea Turner. Philly locked Turner on an 11-year 300$ million contract, covering his 30s and early 40s. The 29-year-old is […]

Jameson Taillon to Cubs - Fantasy Baseball Impact

We have seen a ton of big-time news in recent days. Huge names like Jacob deGrom, Justin Verlander, Aaron Judge, and Trea Turner have signed massive contracts just in the last week. The thing about fantasy baseball, however, is that the player moves that have the biggest impact are the mid-range players like Taillon. For […]

Catcher's Corner, Episode 43: Interview with Stephen Vogt on retirement and his career in baseball

Eric (@SamskiNYC) sits down with two-time All-Star and World Series champion Stephen Vogt to talk about his decision to retire this season and 16-year professional baseball career. They talk about the "I Believe in Stephen Vogt" chants, the final at-bat that went viral on social media, and also dive into questions on the players Vogt […]

Justin Verlander to Mets - Fantasy Baseball Impact

Mets fans were dealt a blow in early December as their world-beating ace Jacob deGrom signed a five-year deal with the Texas Rangers. This left quite a large hole in the projected rotation for 2023, but Mets brass wasted very little time replacing deGrom with another bonafide ace, signing Justin Verlander to a massive two-year […]

Hunter Renfroe to the Angels - Fantasy Baseball Impact

Following a subpar season from the Los Angeles Angels, it was time that the front office addressed the organization's flaws. Although the Angels tenant two of the biggest studs in the game, Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani, the longing for a winning environment didn't seem to permeate throughout the roster. Just two weeks ago, in […]

Jacob deGrom to Rangers - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The biggest news of the young offseason hit last Friday night, as the Rangers signed Jacob deGrom to a five-year contract. deGrom was right there with Aaron Judge in terms of the biggest names available on free agency, and it did not take him all that long to find a new home. deGrom is inarguably […]

Zach Eflin to Rays - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The Rays made a minor splash on the first day of December, signing pitcher Zach Eflin to three-year deal. Eflin is far from an ace pitcher, but he has had an interesting career and has certainly had some moments. He is good enough to matter to us in the fantasy baseball world. The signing is […]

Jose Abreu to Astros - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The reigning World Series Champion Houston Astros did not waste much time to begin their quest for a repeat in 2023, signing first baseman Jose Abreu to a three-year deal early in the offseason. Presumedly, Abreu takes Yuli Gurriel's spot there and slides into the three or four-hole in that elite Astros lineup. Abreu's Major […]

Mike Clevinger to White Sox - Fantasy Baseball Impact

The White Sox added some depth to their rotation in late November, signing right-hander Mike Clevinger to a one-year deal. Clevinger returned to Major League action this past season after missing the whole 2021 season following elbow surgery, but it was overall a pretty disappointing return as he mustered just a 4.33 ERA in his […]

Pitchers: Strong Septembers to Remember for 2023 Fantasy Baseball Drafts

Earlier this week, we looked at hitters that had strong Septembers. I included some important context in the opening of that piece. It's very important to read, and I don't want to just repeat all of that - so go there and read that first. I will be picking out five notable starting pitchers that […]

Hitters: Strong Septembers to Remember for 2023 Fantasy Baseball Drafts

It is typically a bad idea to look at one month of baseball data and draw strong conclusions from it. How do you like that for an opening to a piece that will look at one month of data and draw conclusions from it? Before you do an irresponsible thing, it is at least good […]

Tyler Anderson to Angels - Fantasy Baseball Impact

3You could make an argument that the Angels have the two best players in the league on their roster, but despite that, they have been unable to make the playoffs every season they have had both Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout. They have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league given the […]

Teoscar Hernandez to Mariners - Fantasy Baseball Impact

Another full year removed from the economic catastrophe of 2022, and with no lockout problems to deal with - the 2023 MLB offseason is going to be an exciting one. We have massive names on free agency and plenty of teams prepared to do some wheelin' and dealin'. Things got started last week as the […]

Pitch Mix Analysis: Starting Fantasy Baseball Pitchers With Upside In Their Arsenal

If you are going to make a living as a Major League starting pitcher, you had better come to the table with more than one effective pitch. There are very rare exceptions, but exceptions do not disprove the rule. Starting pitchers need multiple useful offerings to have success, and that's especially true when we're talking […]
