Brent Rooker - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 8)

BALLER MOVE: Sell Brent Rooker ANALYSIS: Oakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker is a player to sell in fantasy immediately. Despite being on an absolute heater at the plate right now -- where he is hitting .462 with four HRs and 11 RBI over the past seven games -- there's just no way he can keep this up. His .277 average with nine HRs, six...

Nick Castellanos - Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets: Buy or Sell? (Week 8)

BALLER MOVE: Buy Nick Castellanos ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos is not off to a great start in 2024. He is batting just .207 with two HRs, three doubles, and 12 RBI through the first 38 games. Castellanos' metrics are also not particularly great, either.
