This is always a fascinating week to recommend streamers. We say that because the trade deadline is less than 48 hours away. It’s unclear which teams will be buyers or sellers, but it’s amazing how many teams are still in the running for Wild Card slots. We’re also winding down to the final month or […]

Follow me on Twitter @BartilottaJoel. My name is Joel Bartilotta and I'm addicted to fantasy baseball. I'm 27 years old and I live in Denver, Colorado. That has forced me to love the Colorado Rockies, which has caused me more distress than I'd like to admit. I've been playing fantasy baseball for over a decade now and have a passion for fantasy sports in general. I also love to play basketball and cover NBA for RotoWire.

How are we about to be in August? It feels like the weeks and months are just flying by, and it also means the baseball season is nearing an end. We have about two months remaining, and one of the most important dates of the season is in 48 hours. That’s the trade deadline, and […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The streamers can be difficult at this part of the season because things are bizarre after the All-Star break. What makes it even more strange is that we have the trade deadline right around the corner, but it’s a fascinating time to rebuild your roster. There will be some obscure drops in the coming weeks, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?It’s hard to believe, but we’ve hit the stretch run of the season. Most teams only have 50-60 games remaining, and the trade deadline is right around the corner. That’s always one of the most fascinating times to scrounge the waiver wire because there are the occasional league-winners after some trades. Most of the big […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?After a week off from streamers, we’re back in action. It was actually funny to put together this streamers list because it’s a bunch of guys who have been regulars in this article for years. I’ve always been the type of fantasy player who leans towards veterans rather than unknown talents, and that couldn’t be […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Each team has only played a few games since my last waiver wire article was published, so not much has changed. The good news is that the waiver wire never sleeps, and now’s the time to make a push in your fantasy leagues. I can’t wait for these final months to play out, and it […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This is the most unique week throughout the fantasy season. Most leagues split this period into two weeks due to the All-Star break. That doesn’t mean anything from a waiver wire perspective, though, because the waiver wire never sleeps. It’s actually an important time to keep an eye on it when many fantasy managers are […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I felt more confident about our bats last week than about our arms, and that proved to be the right call. I had a feeling that might be the case with our streamers because there are weeks when it’s difficult to find waiver-wire pitchers in good spots. That’s the nature of fantasy baseball and picking […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The waiver wire picks are always volatile, but I’ve been pleased with the results. Mickey Moniak was our highlight player last week, and he might’ve single-handedly won people their leagues. Understanding the schedule is the most impactful factor on the waiver wire, and this is one of the most unique weeks of the season. The […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?We got off to a bad start with our streamers last week when Leiter landed on the IL, and Ritchie was blown up early in the week, but everything went well outside of that. Gage Jump looks like a must-roster player at this point, and we got some stellar weeks from guys like Anthony Kay, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?When I started this article a few months ago, I was hesitant to recommend the same players in back-to-back weeks. I’ve come to learn that it’s mandatory for a waiver wire piece, though, because people need to be reminded when a player is sitting on too many waiver wires. With that said, I do not […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?I was pretty pleased with last week’s streamers, aside from Merrill Kelly. If we’re being honest, Kelly might just be washed at this point. That’s an inevitable path every pitcher takes, and it’s a sad reality for professional athletes. Knowing when that will happen is always tricky for us, but it’s also one of the […]
