Welcome to the post trade deadline two-start pitcher rankings! Let’s revisit some of the arms moved at the deadline and their potential fantasy impact. Tarik Skubal – This one hurt… but as a Tigers fan, I do love Skubal. This was a key acquisition for the Dodgers, but I think expectations need to be tempered.  […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! And to think I was a bit worried about which lede to run with today. “Tarik Skubal has been traded” pic.twitter.com/ePvfQLylue — Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) August 2, 2026 Well, the big story of this trade deadline is one that already wrote itself. And the Tigers fans who were Tarik-fied to lose […]

It was a night for juiced baseballs at Tropicana Field last night…But I suppose someone told the Tampa Bay Rays they weren’t allowed to use them, too. The South-Siders from Chicago rolled into St. Petersburg and rolled through one of our favorite marshmallow tossers, Nick Martinez (6 IP, 6 ER, 7 H, 0 BB, 2 […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Can you hear that rustling in the bushes?  Yep. Those bushes. Right over there. If you look closely, you can see the shining, beady eyes of MLB GMs crouched and waiting to pounce on unsuspecting sellers as they shop their pending free agents and “non-bargain-priced” talent. Well, it might be a […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! If there’s one good thing about only having 4 days since our last update, it’s that it didn’t give me much time to piece together a new trade offer to send yet another fan favorite out those MarmosDad Fantasy Baseball saloon doors. But I’ll tell you one thing.  If I rostered […]

Welcome back Razzball to another week of Two-Start pitcher rankings. On the go edition is still in full swing as we are currently writing this from a hotel in Northern Michigan (Not the UP) getting ready for bracket play to start. I hope all of the baseball dads reading had a great Father’s Day and […]

Even though I like to organize and sequence the news from the top league to the bottom in this space, I feel compelled to begin with Red Sox C Franklin Primera (18, CPX) this week, partly because I like puns more than I probably should but also because he’s early birding complex league pitching to the extent that he got traded in one of my 15-team dynasty leagues this week (shoutout to the 23 Jump Street crew). The team who traded him has been in first place most of the season and paired him with Marlins LHP Robby Snelling to get Nationals 2B Nasim Nunez and his 31 stolen bases. Well–not those 31 specifically but the possibility that he can approximate that number over the season’s second half. It’s a good trade for both sides, I think. Nunez is slashing a preposterous .426/.471/.553 with seven stolen bases over his last 14 games, hinting at a fantasy breakout in his age 25 season. We haven’t seen this type of a player for quite some time in this age of bat speed and exit velocity, so Nunez kind of snuck onto the scene with his plus defense and 70-steal upside. There’s no big surprise that he might make a jump in his second big league season while the weather heats up in a kind ballpark. I wish I’d chosen him while mapping out trade plans in Prospect News: Three Dynasty Trade Targets At Every Position while I was fumbling around for second base options.

Mad Libs’ing Brewers starters into the lede. (Brewers pitcher) is (adjective) because the Brewers’ (noun) who (verb) (noun) and (verb) (noun) who can’t be (verb)! Kyle Harrison–No, not today. Brandon Woodruff–Haha, that was yesterday! Brandon Sproat? Yep! Here we go! Mad Libs commence! Brandon Sproat is awesome because the Brewers’ coaches turn pitching mounds into […]

Format = Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Highest Level Played | Estimated Time of Arrival

1. OF Nelson Rada | 20 | AAA | 2026

The plusses here are obvious: a legitimate center fielder with solid plate skills from the left side, Rada swiped 54 bases in 135 games across Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, slashing .292/.398/.360 and making huge plate-skills gains when he reached Triple-A. He walked 30 times against 35 strikeouts in his 42 games with Salt Lake, slashing .323/.433/.416 in the cozy hitting environment. He’s always been extremely young for the level – 7.8 years younger than average in Triple-A – and that tends to work out in the aggregate, especially if a teenager like Rada arrives to camp some spring wearing new muscle after a Rocky IV type winter. Rada actually filled out a little bit last offseason and could be quite the fantasy sleeper this year with just a touch more man-strength.
