H2H Category Streamers - Week 20 Waiver Wire

There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent. Heavy lineup, heavy starting pitchers, no catcher, all (or mostly) reliever staff, no reliever staff, etc. Even if you play a balanced lineup, injuries can cause holes. A few weeks without a key player won’t kill a […]

Reese McGuire Continues Case for Catcher Platoon in Toronto

Previously known as a glove-first prospect, rookie catcher Reese McGuire has now started four of Toronto's last six games over the more well-known (and disappointing) Danny Jansen.

Thought to be sellers, the New York Mets were 52 -55 at the MLB trade deadline, putting them 11 games back in NL East, and 4.5 games back in the Wild Card race. But the Mets continued to confound their fan base by not only failing to sell the valuable assets that everyone assumed that […]
