Prospects To Cut Loose In Dynasty Leagues

The dynasty format requires an owner to consider both the immediate and future implications of draft picks, trades, and waiver wire moves.

Any wrong move lives with you for years and makes you... Read More

The 27-year-old homered twice, both solo shots, in the Twins' 10-5 Opening Day victory over the Chicago White Sox.

Kyle Lewis Homers In 2020 Opener

Seattle Mariners outfielder Kyle Lewis went 1-for-4 with a homer run in Friday's season opener against the Astros.
