Dolphins To Have Interest In Kamalei Correa, Kyle Van Noy

The Miami Dolphins are expected to have interest in the Titans' Kamalei Correa and Patriots' Kyle Van Noy, according to sources.

Dolphins Expected To Look At Melvin Gordon

The Miami Dolphins, who will have roughly $95 million in salary cap space (the most in the NFL), are expected to look at running back Melvin Gordon in free agency.

Randal Grichuk (OF, TOR) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~240 CURRENT ADP: ~268 overall (From March 1st to present) ANALYSIS: Randal Grichuk slashed .232/.280/.457 with 31 HR and 80 RBI in 2019. While the .232 average is not ideal, the home run and RBI production he provided for the Blue Jays cannot be understated. The RBI production came in large […]

Miguel Andujar (OF/3B, NYY) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~250 CURRENT ADP: ~270 overall ANALYSIS: Andujar was a non-factor for the Yankees in 2019 as he only played in 12 games due to a shoulder injury. However, in 2018, Andujar slashed .297/.328/.527 with 27 HR and 92 RBI. It was a tremendous season from the rookie and placed him second […]

Sean Doolittle (RP, WAS) - Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

BALLER MOVE: Draft target ~140 CURRENT ADP: ~160 overall ANALYSIS: Doolittle had a tumultuous 2019, proving effective but suffering from overuse before rebounding in the playoffs. Doolittle had a 2.72 ERA with a 51/11 K/BB ratio over 43 innings through July 24, when he notched the save in each game of a doubleheader. That speaks […]

September Power Surges That Might Be For Real

As we all sit and overanalyze spring training at-bats and pitch mixes, it's important to remember that the small sample sizes of a few half-games against essentially AAAA talent can often be misleading. Instead, I find it's far more telling to use late-season changes from the year before to try to identify who has made […]

2020 Fantasy Baseball Busts: Trevor Bauer

Following an offseason that saw them add Mike Moustakas, Nick Castellanos, Shogo Akiyama, and Wade Miley, the Reds are expected to be right in the thick of a wide-open race for the National League Central crown.

Joey Lucchesi's Starting Hopes Taking A Hit

Redskins Use Franchise Tag On Brandon Scherff

The Washington Redskins placed their franchise tag on offensive guard Brandon Scherff on Saturday after attempting to sign him to a long-term deal, according to a source.
