Early 2020 ADP Reflections - Catcher
When a baseball season ends, the following season can’t come here soon enough for some fans, myself included. We start thinking about what we want to see from some players, which includes letdowns, bounce-backs, and even young prospect candidates. Instead of letting them bounce off the brain walls, let’s put these musings into digits. This […]
Jonathan Villar to Marlins - Fantasy Impact
The low-budget Marlins made a splash (pun intended) on the free-agent front in their typically cost-prohibitive way by picking up recently waived infield Jonathan Villar in exchange for minor leaguer Easton Lucas. They also claimed first baseman Jesus Aguilar, who is one year removed from a 35-HR, 108-RBI season but struggled mightily last year between […]
Diamondbacks Interested In Nick Castellanos
The Arizona Diamondbacks are among the teams interested in outfielder Nick Castellanos, according to one source. Castellanos hit a combined .289/.337/.525 with a career-high 27 home runs, 100 runs scored and 73 RBI in 151 games between the Tigers and Cubs last season. He was even better in his 51 games with the Cubbies, slashing […]
Taijuan Walker, Steven Souza Jr. Hit Open Market
The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered starting pitcher Taijuan Walker and outfielder Steven Souza Jr. on Monday, making them both free agents. Walker missed most of the last two seasons after having Tommy John surgery, but he was able to post a 3.49 ERA in 157 1/3 innings in 2017. The right-hander will surely be coveted by […]

Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: Top 10 Shortstops
The shortstop position enjoyed some exciting MLB debuts in 2019, including Fernando Tatis Jr., Bo Bichette, and even Kevin Newman. These young players provided plenty of power and speed, among other benefits, and should continue to make their dynasty managers rub their hands with glee for years to come. The shortstop position could continue to […]
Wilmer Flores Hits The Open Market
The Arizona Diamondbacks declined their team option on infielder Wilmer Flores and pitcher T.J. McFarland on Thursday, making them both free agents. Flores played in just 89 games for the Snakes in 2019 because of injury, but he was solid when on the field, hitting .317/.361/.487 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in 265 […]
