Need: Catcher
I’m pretty set, I think. Got a lot of question marks and high-upside underachievers, but I think I’ve got my general lineup in order. That being said, the following are guys I’d consider in a deal.
Smattering of Bats
C Seby Zavala, 3rd, 1.0 (Mariners)
2B/SS Jeter Downs, 1st, 0.3 (Yankees)
1B/LF Nick Pratto, 3rd, 1.0 (Royals)
RF Harold Ramirez, 6th, 5.0 (Rays)
LF Chase Davis, 1st, 0.3 (Cardinals) FV45
A backup catcher, a couple of guys who haven’t lived up to the hype, curious Harold, and a promising spec for a good organization. Packages including these dudes and the following arms are welcome.
Relief Dudes
RP Kirby Yates, 2024, 2.5 (Rangers)
RP Brock Stewart, 2024, 1.2 (Twins)
RP Nick Anderson, 6th, 2.1 (Royals)
RP Jordan Weems, 3rd, 1.0 (Nationals)
RP J.P. Feyereisen, 4th, 1.0 (Dodgers)
RP Scott McGough, 2nd, 0.5 (Diamondbacks)
RPs who’ll get you 1-2 SV/HLDs a week, maybe three on a good week. Most of these dudes will net you 4-6Ks a week, too, and all look to be in the mix at the back of their respective bullpens…well, maybe not Feyereisen or McGough just yet.
One Starter
SP Adrian Houser, 6th, 1.2 (Mets)
Definitely one guy I could see moving for a comparable catcher or a solid catcher in a package.
Would trade one/a few of the above guys for a productive catcher. Cap constraints are real, obviously.
Specs
I’m open to moving specs if they’re not named Guanipa, but Blaze and Butler are essentially set in my gut as bench dudes next year. Braves guys are generally off the table, unless I haven’t heard of them…then offer away. I’ve given up some pretty solid guys this way…Acuna, Ignacio Alvarez, and many more.
Guys I’m Holding
Though nobody is really untouchable, I’m only moving these fellas for elite fantasy production, high-upside specs, sensible position swaps, or the moon depending on the player. Ranked in general order for shits and giggles.
SP Spencer Strider, 3rd, 1.0 (Braves)
SP George Kirby, 3rd, 1.0 (Mariners)
CF Michael Harris II, 3rd, 1.0 (Braves)
1B Freddie Freeman, 2025, 16 (Dodgers)
3B Jose Ramirez, 2027, 14.8 (Guardians)
SS CJ Abrams, 3rd, 1.0 (Nationals)
SP Mitch Keller, 5th, 4.2 (Pirates)
C Sean Murphy, 5th, 2.2 (Braves)
LF/RF Brent Rooker, 4th, 2.0 (Athletics)
SP AJ Smith-Shawver, 1st, 0.3 (Braves)
CF Lawrence Butler, 1st, 0.3 (Athletics)
LF/RF Jarred Kelenic, 4th, 1.1 (Braves)
SP Drew Thorpe, 1st, 0.3 (Padres)
SP/RP Matthew Strahm, 2024+, 1.8 (Phillies)
SS Blaze Alexander, 1st, 0.3 (Diamondbacks)
CF Luis Guanipa, 1st, 0.3 (Braves)
2B/3B/SS Oswald Peraza, 2nd, 0.5 (Yankees)
SP/RP JT Chargois, 2024, 1.1 (Marlins)
SP/RP Gregory Santos, 2nd, 0.5 (Mariners)
1B/LF/CF/RF Joey Gallo, 2024, 3.0 (Nationals)
SP Jhancarlos Lara, 1st, 0.3 (Braves)
Guys I Can’t Move
SP Max Fried, 2026, 7 (Braves) HTD
2B Gleyber Torres, 2028, 7.2 (Yankees) HTD
SP Pablo Lopez, 2025, 10 (Twins) HTD
