The 2024 Futures Game rosters were made public on Tuesday, so I’d like to highlight some key takeaways that might be relevant to people with mid-week transaction set-ups. 

For dynasty purposes, the Futures Game has always been an escalator for prospect fantasy values. Most people don’t watch minor league baseball on the regular, so their first time seeing some of these prospects with their own eyes happens during this seven-inning exhibition game. 

My takeaway today is that values are going to change more than ever this season due to the new Futures Skills Showcase that will follow the game itself.

This year, I’ve been giving you obscure adds for your desperate teams. Loyal readers who read the whole article also find that, at the bottom, I give you a “sell” tip. Sometimes, the most effective thing we can do for our fantasy teams isn’t adding a new player, but benching your struggling high draft pick. But my confirmation bias, you shout, staring at your 2019 league winning team on Yahoo’s history page. Miguel Sano is due! Me too, bro. One day I’ll return to my 30 homer power and you’ll be drafting me in leagues again. But until then, you need to cut your dead weight and open up space for some hot second half action. Think about baseball! 

To celebrate the Fourth of July this week, I’m giving you a whole article on “sell” options — let’s get your roster ready for the next big thing!
