Tigers Nearing A Deal With Cameron Maybin
Free-agent outfielder Cameron Maybin is reportedly nearing a deal with the Detroit Tigers. Maybin previously spent the 2007 and 2016 seasons with the Tigers.

Jason Kipnis (2B/OF, CLE) - Week 22 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of leagues ANALYSIS: After two completely mediocre seasons, Cleveland Indians second baseman Jason Kipnis is having a bit of a mini-renaissance as of late, seemingly drawing upon the last well of his old-man strength. After hitting .230 for the previous two years, with an 89 and 83 […]
Leury Garcia (SS/OF, CHW) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: Sometimes players will fly under the radar because they don't stand out in any category but instead give you a little bit everywhere.

Angel Pagan (SF, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 19 Percent of Leagues ANALYSIS: Pagan's overall numbers don't inspire much confidence, but he's been quite valuable as of late. The veteran is hitting .307/.378/.489 with three homers and five steals since returning from the disabled list on September 1. The Giants are out of the […]
Chris Young (OF, NYY) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in all 14 team leagues or deeper. OWNED IN: 11% of Yahoo leagues ANALYSIS: Ever since being cut from the Mets last season, Young has had a resurgence with the Yankees. He is batting .257 on the season with 11 homers and 27 RBI. Those numbers don't jump out at you, but […]
Khris Davis (MIL, OF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 24% of Fleaflicker Leagues ANALYSIS: Davis has legitimate power. There's no doubt about that. I know I know, you're all worried about Gerardo Parra getting a bigger share of the playing time. However a trade involving Parra seems all but imminent so there appears to be an […]
