Welcome to a post trade deadline edition of Buy or Sell, where we dig into a handful of players getting a chance to prove their mettle in new lineups. After the beautiful chaos of the deadline, with its flurry of trades and call-ups, we’re seeing a fresh wave of hitters looking to make an impact. This week in our Hitter Profiles segment, we’re expanding the scope to include recently promoted prospects, players traded to new teams, and those stepping into everyday roles due to roster shakeups. With two months to go in the season, this is likely the last major shift for waiver wires across the league. Whether you’re saving your FAAB or weighing a trade, we’re here to help clarify your next move. Let’s dive into this quick-hitter edition of Buy or Sell.

How about that trade deadline? It didn’t feel like we had any true “blockbusters,” but seeing half of the relievers in baseball get moved was a fascinating development. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen so many bullpen shake-ups at any other deadline, and it’s going to lead to some chaos for the final two months. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Lotta fun to be had tracking the trade deadline this year, so let’s grab our Geiger counters and pick through the fallout. AJ Preller brought his own fireworks and fuses. San Diego threw down the gauntlet early by moving SS Leo De Vries, RHP Henry Baez, RHP Braden Nett, and RHP Eduarniel Nunez in a package for closer Mason Miller and LHP JP Sears. Speculation came quickly from Buster Olney and others that the club must be looking to move Robert Suarez and Dylan Cease for outfield help. Instead, they kept Suarez to build a monster bullpen. As much as I like Mason Miller, this represents an enormous return for the Athletics. I can’t believe they got Henry Baez just tacked on for some reason. He’s a good pitcher. 
Welcome back, friends. Glad to have you here reading another installment of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. After featuring a catcher last week in Drake Baldwin of the Atlanta Braves, I decided to stay in the division and concentrate on the same position. We are going to head south to Miami so I can talk about catcher Agustin Ramirez. For the most part, Ramirez has been an under-the-radar prospect who was never ranked as a top 100 prospect until this past offseason when Baseball Prospectus ranked hit at #55 but was nowhere to be seen in the Baseball America or MLB rankings. Ramirez is making Baseball Prospectus look pretty smart as he has provided plenty of pop for the Marlins offense since his promotion from Triple-A in late April. Why is Ramirez and Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player? Let's find out.

Ever since bat tracking data went live on May 13, 2024, there has been a question that has been on the back of my mind. To set up this question, let’s walk through a hypothetical position player’s career. Consider a hitter who has a reputation for being “streaky”, we’ll call this player, let’s say, Michael Harris II, a random name I just thought of. Please, blog, may I have some more?
