Bryan De La Cruz is a fantasy baseball trade target for Week 8 (2024). Is Bryan De La Cruz a fantasy baseball buy or sell? Read the trade analysis and advice.
BALLER MOVE: Sell Bryan De La Cruz
ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz continues to be a strong fantasy asset to start the season. He is hitting .269 at the plate with eight HRs, eight doubles, and 21 RBI in the first 39 games of the year. De La Cruz has also homered in three of the past five games while totaling a hit in eight of the last nine contests.
The 27-year-old has been one of the best all-around hitters for the Marlins this season and one of the few bright spots on that offense. However, he's a player who fantasy managers should be looking to sell high.

There has been nothing wrong with the way De La Cruz has looked at the plate in 2024. But there's a chance you could use him in a package deal to acquire a star like Olson or Julio Rodriguez. Also, it would be shocking to see the outfielder keep up this pace for the entire season. When he goes into a slump on offense, there could be some ugly fantasy stretches from him. His strikeout rate (25%), walk rate (6.5%), whiff rate (32.5%), and chase rate (33%) all rank in the bottom half of the league.
As a result, fantasy managers should try to sell him high while he's coming off back-to-back home run games. The Marlins will also be sellers at the trade deadline, meaning RBI chances might be hard to come by for De La Cruz in the second half of the season.
