Oakland Trades for Reliever Jake Diekman

Less a splash and more of a sneaky splish, the Oakland A's waded into the trade waters on Saturday, sending minor-leaguers Ismael Aquino and Dairon Blanco to the Royals in exchange for left-handed reliever, Jake Diekman. In Diekman, the Athletics make a classic Oakland move, shoring up their bullpen with the eight-year veteran and his […]

Adalberto Mondesi Improving

Kansas City Royals star shortstop Adalberto Mondesi has been participating in light workouts and the pain and inflammation in his shoulder is reducing, according to Jeffrey Flanagan. Mondesi has been sidelined due to a shoulder subluxation after he attempted to make a diving catch earlier this month. There is still no timetable for his return, […]

Bubba Starling Continues To Hit

Kansas City Royals outfielder Bubba Starling was expected to struggle at the major league level because he's struggled at every new level he's reached, but so far, he's unstoppable as a big leaguer. After another pair of hits on Friday against Cleveland, Starling is now hitting .326 and riding a 10-game hitting streak. For a […]

Whit Merrifield Slides Down Towards .300

Kansas City Royals utility man Whit Merrifield continued to struggle his way through the second half of July as he went 0-for-4 on Friday. Merrifield is in the midst of a 5-for-37 slump since his most recent long hitting streak ended, and it has now been more than 10 days since his last home run. […]

Jakob Junis Hit Hard By Cleveland

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis was lit up for six earned runs in six innings on Friday, earning him the loss. Junis struck out five, but he also gave up 10 hits and walked a pair. The loss came on the back of three straight quality starts for Junis, and it's only his […]

H2H Category Streamers - Week 18 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 […]

Digger Deeper: AL-Only Waiver Wire Report for Week 17

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to […]

Champ or Chump: Tyler O'Neill and Ramon Laureano

This time of year, a lot of fantasy analysis is a simple reminder to look at your standings page. Trading Max Scherzer for Whit Merrifield and Mallex Smith is a terrible idea in terms of overall value, but if you stand to gain a lot of points in SB it could make sense for you. […]

Jakob Junis Placed On Paternity List

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis has been placed on the paternity list. His next scheduled start is Friday against the Indians, which may be pushed back.
