Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 3

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more.

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kenley Jansen has gone a perfect 4-for-4 in save opportunities for the defending World Series champions to start the 2022 season.
