So, I was enjoying my Father’s Day with my dog, Ted. He was tossing me the frisbee, I was catching it in my mouth (in our house, we don’t assign roles). Then it was announced that Rafael Devers was traded to the Giants, and I started rolling on the floor, laughing, and Ted gave me a treat. Red Sox were so big mad that he wouldn’t pick up his glove again — even though he plays miserable defense! — they traded him. Or could Gerrit Cole have impersonated Red Sox GM Breslow and worked out this trade to get Devers out of the division? Nah, not with his Kermit the Frog voice. Did they really have to open a spot for Wilyer Abreu at the expense of Devers? One thing is for sure, being a superstar for the Red Sox is as good as having one foot out the door. Can’t wait until the next Dodgers/Giants series and Betts and Devers can howl in laughter. Red Sox have unlimited resources and lowkey act like a low-budget team. This is seriously nuts. I need to sit down. [sits down, stands back up after two seconds] I’m back! They traded him for Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison. Hicks is hurt and Harrison was immediately optioned to the minors. That might be worse than what they got for Mookie Betts. What an awful trade! Hold up! Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and Chris Sale have netted Vaughn Grissom, Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, Jeter Downs, Jordan Hicks, and Kyle Harrison. Those trades would have the Red Sox kicked out of a fantasy league. So, Rafael Devers is exactly who he is in any park. He might actually gain a few homers, because he won’t have doinks off the Monster go for 110 MPH singles. That might also hurt his average though, in the long run. At end of the day, Devers is who he is, and the Red Sox tell Devers, “No glove, no love.”
This Friday lmao
— Razzball (@razzball.bsky.social) June 15, 2025 at 4:26 PM
Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Grant Holmes – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 baserunners, 15 Ks, ERA at 3.97
Imagine a game of Name That Tune, but with pitchers and Ks:
“I can strike out 10 Rockies in 100 pitches,” Chris Sale says.
Strider smiles slyly, “I can strike out 13 Rockies in 87 pitches.”
Grant Holmes laughs maniacally and says, “I can strike out 15 Rockies in 93 pitches.”
Strider says, “Well, it’s two more hitters you’re striking out, but it’s in more pitches, so are we supposed to be impressed?”
A voice rings out, “Hol’ up!” Bryce Elder runs in, crashing through the screen door. His face bloodied from the screen, he spits out, “I can strike out two Rockies in three and third innings! In 70 pitches! Huh?!”
Happy Father’s Day to everyone, but especially Grant Holmes. The DNA test came back, and you’re 100% the Rockies’ daddy. Hilariously (not hilariously), one start like that can take a guy’s 73 previous innings and make his peripherals appear gorge, and can engorge. His previous three starts were meh on earned runs allowed, but nice on Ks. His perfs — 10.4 K/9, 3.9 BB/9, 3.47 xFIP — paints a picture of, uh, pitcher who should be rostered in 12-team mixed leagues or deeper or whose name should at least be used to remember the Great Lakes.
Spencer Strider – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 13 Ks, ERA at 4.35. As aforementioned, that was 13 Ks in 87 pitches. So. Dot dot dot. I did tell someone in the comments the other day to buy low on Strider. After this start, that’s gonna be much harder. Now, this vs. the Suckies, so don’t expect him to be completely out of the woods, but the only thing that seemed to be off was his command, the last thing to return for guys coming back from arm surgery.
Zach Agnos – Optioned to the minors. Rockies wanted everyone to know, they are not Agnostic. Seth Halvorsen might get saves, maybe Jake Bird, maybe you should look elsewhere.
Ryan McMahon – 1-for-5 and his 10th homer, and 2nd homer of the weekend series in Atlanta, so maybe schmotato, but I’d only look at him in Coors, i.e., McMahon rules the WWE (World of Wrestling Expectations).
Jack Flaherty – 4 2/3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 4.03. Standing in a six-feet-deep ditch labeled, “Everywhere.” Huh, they did say Flaherty would get me everywhere.
Will Vest – 2/3 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 1.80, and the blown save, but what’s worst? He left with a trainer. What’s better? It was his pinky that was bothering him. What’s neither here nor there, I don’t know how bad his pinky is. What’s next? Maybe Tommy Kahnle’s saves.
Jahmai Jones – 1-for-3 and his 2nd homer, as he continues to hit leadoff against lefties with Parker Meadows (0-for-3) in the 9-hole. Aggravating!
Wenceel Perez – 2-for-3 and his 4th homer, hitting .302. He has a .323 xBA, which is a goofy stat, but worth noting, so I’m noting it. Near 42% on the sweet spot, and 36% squared-up. His Hard Hit% is low and he had five barrels. (This is all from before yesterday.) So, I looked, and there’s too small of a sample to conclude anything. He has same Sweet Spot% as Justin Turner and Lenyn Sosa and less barrels than Spencer Horwitz with similar number of batted ball events. It’s all noise, but it’s good noise for now. So, monocle, which I’m clearly doing already.
Emilio Pagan – 1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 3.34 as he entered the 8th in a two-run game to face the bottom the order. Um, did Francona forget what inning it was? Tony Santillan (1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 2.73) worked the 9th, and has been great, but Pagan is my pickup of the year in one league. Yes, it’s a deep league! Stop judging me! (It’s actually Tout Wars, where I’m currently in 1st place, so natch.) I guess stash Santillan if you’re desperate for saves.
Elly De La Cruz – 3-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs and his 16th homer, 4th straight game with a homer, hitting .273. E! is better than taking E.
Eury Perez – 4 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, zero Ks, ERA at 6.43. His upside is too great, so I wouldn’t be dropping, but, if you can afford it, I’d bench him until his 1st solid start.
Dane Myers – 3-for-4 and his 4th homer, three hits in two of the past three games, and two hits in the other. Hot schmotato alert!
Brady House – Nats announced they’re calling up House. Itch just gave you his latest prospect stash list, and Brady House was third, saying, “He’s second in the International League with 13 home runs, slashing .303/.352/.522 despite a 27.1 percent strikeout rate, and oh-for-beating-up Grey.” What kind of stat is that? Trying to square the circle with mom saying no playing ball in the Brady House and Brady House playing ball. Hurting my brain. House will play 3rd every day, and bring huge power, but might struggle on average. I tried to grab him everywhere because daddy needs power and upside and it’s Father’s Day!
Jordan Walker – 1-for-4 as he was activated from the IL. Ooh, quick! Someone tell 2024 Grey!
Ivan Herrera – 2-for-3 and his 8th homer, hitting .312. I’d be happy if a few of my rostered 1st basemen had eight homers and were hitting .312.
Quinn Priester – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 3 Ks, ERA at 3.46. On the Red Sox and Pirates for his career, he was a ~5.30 ERA. Then: [Brewers twist Rubik’s cube, it locks in with the pattern revealed, which is Quinn’s face]
Matthew Boyd – 6 IP, 1 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 3 Ks, ERA at 2.79. Ya know who’s done pretty well this year? Guess who I’m gonna say. Matthew Boyd, you dodo! I’m in his blurb. Crap, who locked the door? I’m stuck in his blurb and I can’t get out. Seriously, can anyone hear me? Hello?
Mike Burrows – 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 8 Ks, ERA at 4.24. This start came against Matthew Boyd, as MB faced off with MB and the winner got a Mercedes-Benz Maybach Matchbox. Where do I send it? Okay, enough tomfoolery! Burrows has a 9.6 K/9, 2.7 BB/9, 3.39 xFIP and I picked him up in one deep league last week, and I’m still struggling to recommend him to youse, due to his command. Streamonator hates his next one, but if you wanna try him, well, do as I do.
Giancarlo Stanton – Will return Monday or Tuesday. A’la the Titanic captain, “Horn time, right ahead!”
Luis Gil – Expected back after the All-Star break. Those lat strains are sneaky, especially when they were “shoulder discomfort” a week prior to his IL stint.
Max Fried – 7 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.89. He gave up one big fly (Rafael Devers’s 15th homer) but got big Fried! Bam! No bam? Yeah, you’re prolly right.
Brayan Bello – 7 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 3.49. Can you sell Bello? No? Okay, can you just not buy? How about that for his Garbage Pail Kid? No Buyin’ Bello.
Hunter Dobbins – 6 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.74. If I were him, I’d talk trash about all the teams in the majors. “My dad used to hang out with Jeff Conine, and he never washed his ass.” That’s Dobbins getting ready to face the Marlins.
Yusei Kikuchi – 5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.05. 10 Ks in under six innings is hard to hate. [pinches eyes tightly closed, grits teeth] Hold on, trying to work up some hate.
Nolan Schanuel – 2-for-4 and his 4th homer, hitting .282. 1st homer in almost a month. Schanuel sounds like a Canal Street knock-off, but that’s the only time his name is mentioned with knocks. Bam! Got his ass!
Gary Sanchez – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 4 RBIs and his 2nd homer, and 2nd homer in two games. He’s hitting .162 on the year. He’s hitting so poorly, I opened his player page and it showed me his pitching stats.
Ramon Urias – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, hitting .278, 2nd homer in four games. Since Roman Anthony’s call-up, Ramon Empire 2, Roman Empire 0.
Jordan Westburg – 2-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 7th homer, and 3rd homer since he was activated from the IL. That happened last week.
Landen Roupp – 1 2/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.99. Just want my pitchers to be normal. Why is that so hard for us? Them being the ones doing the pitching, me being the one that rosters them in fantasy. Roupp’s peripherals have normalized, and he looks like a streamer in most shallower mixed leagues, but Streamonator loves his next one, so there’s that.
Emmet Sheehan – Will start for the Dodgers this week. He only went 3 1/3 IP in his last rehab start, but the Dodgers liked what they saw, and they have exactly one and half starters. Mostly the 2nd reason.
Roki Sasaki – Has stopped throwing. Career change? Sounds like Roki could be out a while, if not for the year. One of the bigger busts of the year. Gotta wonder if he didn’t follow Senga and Yamamoto, would he have been drafted so highly? I don’t know, tee be aitch. My guess is no.
Shohei Ohtani – 3-for-3, 2 runs and his 1st start will be tomorrow. Let’s see if he can be better than the Dodgers’ current number two, Enrique Hernandez. Ohtani’s just the Opener, so if you have to choose where to use him, please don’t ask.
Tyler Mahle – Hit the IL with shoulder soreness. Welp, it was either that or regression. I’ll take the IL. Kumar Rocker (5 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 7.31) returned from the minors for Mahle’s spot. I won’t be taking him.
Luke Jackson – 1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 3.91, and his 9th save. Jackson got hit around on Saturday, then put Robert Garcia in an impossible situation, and now Bochy goes back to Jackson on Sunday for the save. Because: Reasons? Shrugs. I don’t know. Jackson might be the closer again or Garcia might’ve been MIA on Sunday because he worked on Friday and Saturday. Too soon to drop Garcia.
Aaron Civale – 5 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.67. Late last week, Civale requested a trade from the Brewers, and was sent packing to the White Sox. Last time he requests a trade!
Miguel Vargas – 1-for-4 and his 10th homer, hitting .242. Elias Sports Bureau said, “Vargas is the first Miggy who plays baseball and isn’t great.” Oh, c’mon, Elias! That’s not trivia.
J.P. Crawford – 1-for-3, 4 RBIs and his 6th homer. 1st homer in June, but is hitting .400+ in the month. Feels like a schmotato, but might just be an underrated guy for average and runs and as I type that out I yawn.
Emerson Hancock – 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.48 vs. Luis L. Ortiz – 6 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 4.64. This matchup was billed as, “Ladies Love/Hancock–[Cancel Police break down the door, drag me away] I didn’t even say anything yet!”
Cristopher Sanchez – 7 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.05. Wanna sing the praises of Sanchez — 9.9 K/9, 3.2 BB/9, 3.13 xFIP, 54% GB rate — but I’m afraid if I say anything nice, Luzardo will pitch another awful game to spite me in the league where I still have him, or, since I dropped him in another league, he’ll pitch a gem and really spite me. He’s damaged me so bad I’m worried about what Luzardo will do when I see one of his teammates pitch. Or hit, for that matter! I’m a beaten dog, cowering in the corner!
Zack Wheeler – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.76. Announced he’ll be retiring after the 2027 season. Sounds like we’re getting a 2028 Zack Wheeler podcast called, No One Asked For This.
Alec Bohm – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 7th homer, hitting .283. Also, in this game Nick Castellanos (1-for-5, 4 RBIs) homered. Bohm has seven homers; how many does Castellanos have? More or less! Answer me! Don’t look it up, guess! Fooled ya, he has same number. (Bohm’s hitting for a better average, though.)
Jose Berrios – 4 2/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.81. Call him Ober-rios.
Jacob deGrom – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.19. This was deGrom at his finest. It wasn’t the great command. It wasn’t the strikeouts. It was that deGrom signature, the No Decision.
Shane Baz – 6 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners (4 BBs), 6 Ks, ERA at 4.54. Four walks vs. six Ks is a red flag, like when your dad says, “Mom’s spending time with the mailman.”
Junior Caminero – 1-for-3, 3 runs, 3 RBIs and his 17th homer, 2nd homer in two games. Junior thrashing the senior circuit!
Tylor Megill – 3 2/3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 3.95, but three more unearned runs for a small ticker shock, and more than a bit of relief. Feel like I say this a lot, but Megill is one of a handful of starters (I mention every one of them), that looks like a Buy, and should have his numbers take a positive turn.
Griffin Canning – 4 1/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.80. He’s become droppable, as my father once said about a baby me.
Jacob Lopez – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 4.80. So, J. Lo’s numbers are somewhat polluted by his time as a reliever. The numbers as a starter aren’t awful, and the only real weak point is the command, which his minor-league numbers indicate should be much better. This start was in Kauffman (easy), and Streamonator for now, but I’m more monocley on him than I thought I would be.
Nick Kurtz – 2-for-4 and his 6th homer, and 1st homer since his return from the IL, i.e., Kurtz is no longer hurtz.
Austin Wynns – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, and 2nd homer in his last two games (not the A’s last two games). That’s right, he’s on the A’s now. Now you see him, now you don’t with Wynns, Austin and Steve.
Noah Cameron – 5 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 1.91. Has allowed only 3 ER in 31 2/3 IP, and 6 ER in the other 5 2/3 IP. So, 0.85 ERA in all but one start. The Prime Minister laying Downing the law!
Jackson Merrill – Hit the 7-day concussion IL. Oddly enough, I saw cartoon birds circling my head on Saturday when Robert Suarez gave up 5 ER in a 1/3 IP.
Fernando Tatis Jr. – 4-for-5, 3 run, 1 RBI, 15th steal, hitting .277. Prior to yesterday, zero homers, hitting .256 in June. Was hitting .349 with eight homers on the Monday after I told you to Sell him on April 18th. Cust kayin’.
Nick Pivetta – 7 IP, 2 ER, 3 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 3.40. Was a much needed good start, after back-to-back stinkers. Well, not for me, I don’t roster him anywhere.
Eugenio Suarez – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 21st homer. Since last All-Star break, he has 41 homers. Vlad Jr. has 24.
Simeon Woods Richardson – 5 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.13. Removed at 53 pitches, after allowing one hit. Yo, Baldelli, who hurt you? Me! That’s who! Let me near this guy!
Brooks Lee – 3-for-4 and his 7th homer, hitting .267, and his 2nd homer in two games, 3rd homer this month, hitting around .350 in that time. Hot schmotato alert!
Royce Lewis – Hit the IL due to his hamstring. The doctor said, “Wow, where ya been? I haven’t seen you in two weeks. Do you not like me anymore? Have you been using another doctor? You get a new HMO?”
Brandon Walter – 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.53. Good news is I was right to pick him up last Sunday. The bad news is I benched him everywhere. Need to get Sunday Grey on the same page with Monday Grey. So, Bra-Bra Walter is my new favorite starter. Small sample but: 9.7 K/9, 0.5 BB/9, 2.25 xFIP and wouldn’t mention any of those numbers if he didn’t have 70-grade command in the minors. Would be looking to pick him up in most mixed leagues 12-team and deeper. If he can maintain the command — and there’s no reason to think he can’t — he could be a solid find.
Hunter Brown – 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 1.88 vs. Joe Ryan – 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 2.93. This matchup was billed all over the world as “Brown/Ryan,” for the Nigerian remake of Patriot Games, but it was billed in the States as Hunter/Joe, the Treasonous Pardon.
Sawyer Gipson-Long OR Hunter Dobbins
Starting Spence vs astros ?

That order
How would you rank Muncy (oak), Mauricio and Lee?
You did
Looking for some saves this week……Palencia (at home vs mil, vs sea) or Faucher (at home vs phil, vs atl)
Palencia
No reason to keep holding onto R. Sasaki anymore right? Even in a deep NL only – this is no longer any logical stash for this season. No real timetable not throwing – move in and try again next year?
I’m about to drop Roki this week, but waiting util Sunday
@Grey: weekly roto. Who you starting at 1B this week?
Kurtz – 4 vs Hou, 3 vs Cle

Hey Grey, what are your thoughts on Aranda? Worth trading for over Hoskins or Rice?
12T H2H points league
Not over Hoskins
Follow up question:
How would you rank these 3 pitchers ROS?
– Crochet
– Schwellenbach
– Gore?
That rank
Brandon Walter and Colton Gordon both seem to be starting for Houston and may keep the job for a while. I’m sick of Ober in a k/bb league. Is either worth cutting Ober?
Sure, Walter
Thanks as always!
No problem
Villain get the money like curls
They just tryin’ to get a nut like squirrels in his mad world
Land of milk and honey with the swirls
Where reckless naked girls get necklaces of pearls
Grimey!
??rock on Grey. You’re saying Brooks Lee is a schmatato? He was the 8th overall pick…might he just be breaking out or do you see something I don’t?
Yeah, maybe breaking out, but Baldelli has him hitting 8th
Toglia called up and starting. Worth a grab in a keeper league?
Sure
In a SVHD league, who would you drop for him? Lee?
Dylan Lee- last Hold 5/15/25
Gregory Soto
Weissert- 5 SVHD this month
Lee
So this maybe a blessing in disguise
McCullers is going on the IL with a foot sprain

I feel like I have more confidence in Horton but who knows
I will check
Cool
Kurtz or Jac Cag
5×5 OBP
Unfortunately can only hold 1
Kurtz
House or Jesus?
Jesus
Not only that, but this Prime Minister can save us from the Flood!
Hahaha
Slim waiver wire pickings in my H2H league this week, but I need 1 more SP to fill my lineup. Any of these give me a chance for a win?
Trevor Williams vs Rockies (Dollander)
Logan Allen @ SF (Verlander)
Slade Cecconi @ SF (Ray)
SON prefers Williams. Thank you.
Williams
One more Good man…
Would you trade Mick Abel for Giancarlo Stanton in redraft league? Thx again
Sure
Grey,
Need to drop 1 of Burger, Paredes, Garcia or Friedl. Total bases, runs, rbi, walks, steals. Leaning towards Garcia with how hot Friedl has been. Thanks for the advice as always
Adolis
was Luis
At close to the end of the line with Albies with this recent slump. I’m in a ten team keep 4 league with 3 year contracts. I drafted Albies in rd 5 but if someone is dropped and picked up, they become rd 11. That’s part of the reason I haven’t dropped him yet.
The available waiver options, though, are actually really tempting. Westburg and Edman are both available. Given that, I’m wondering if the pool is so generous that the downside of dropping is reduced. (Of course, Westburg might not last long if he keeps hitting dingers.)
What do you think, Grey? Drop for West or hold another week or two first?
Lose Albies for West
Thanks. I saw an article this morning that one “secret to unlocking Albies” might be playing with Acuna, since they have a “bromance.” Then he struck out like five times against the Rockies over the weekend. I think I’m ready to get frustrated with a different 2B.
Haha yup
Starting eflin @rays?
If you need to
H/H POINTS REDRAFT
Bubic or Ranger
Bubic
If I were to sell Bubic, what type of hitter… should I aim for ? Tough sell … cause I feel he is too good for Kurtz right now but not enough of a track record to aim for a top 20 bat? But definitely already noticed the royals have been cutting down his starts by providing extra rest days.
Tia good people
Not really the type to sell
Always a great Monday with Grey’s weekend wrap up!
QS league with Innings per start another head to head category. Opponent has 7 starts this week. I need to pick one of the two start options to join the starting rotation. Could replace any of the one start options to match or exceed the 7 opponent starts.
I have the following one start options:
Framber (@Athletics)
Webb (vs CLE)
Joe Ryan (vs MIL)
Ranger Suarez (@MIA)
And the following 2 start options:
Will Warren (vs LAA, vs BAL)
Sandy Alcantara (vs PHI, vs ATL)
Ben Brown (vs SEA, vs MIL)
Robot ranks the 2 start options as Brown, Warren, Alcantara. Do you agree? I’m slightly leaning Warren given the matchups.
And would you sit any of the 1 starters to start any additional 2 starters?
Thanks and hope you have a great week!
Warren seems fine, and I guess Ranger
Sorry for my convoluted question. I’ll start Warren, but also would you start either one of Brown or Alcantara over Ranger?
Already need to start one of the three 2 start options and just figuring out if it’s worth putting in one more over a one start guy to even up the total starts against my opponent who has 7 this week. Thanks again!
Sure, Brown if you need him
i think the red sox had to move devers. who knows how much better they could have done in the return. but you can’t can’t have a room full of kids and a big old grumpy guy wandering around the locker room mumbling “this place sucks.” pretty obvious the relationship with breslow was around the bend making him pretty much sunk cost at this point.
Can’t trade him for that little tho…Can’t imagine they couldn’t have gotten more from another team (Padres? DBacks? Anyone?)
neither of those teams could take the contract. he’s not a rental. it’s 300 million dollars. he’s most likely a dh with an ugly 3 or so years on the tail end of the deal. the giants a very short list of possible trade partners.
Gotcha
greg!
Haha…reports are saying they didn’t shop him. That’s malpractice, whether or not anyone else could’ve matched that insanely low ball offer
i heard that too. something called jomboy?
for sure they shoulda shopped him but i think clearing the contract and getting him out of the locker room asap seemed to be the priority. regardless, front office bungled it from the beginning and turned an asset into a liability and made the team worse.
Yup, agreed there
I read where a few teams inquired before the deal was made but $300 mill killed it
Atlanta, SD, among 1 or 2 others
It’s so ridiculous
Hard to believe Atlanta inquired. One, 300m is not the type of team friendly contract the Braves are known for. Two, and most importantly, where would he play? Riley has third locked up, Olsen at first, and Ozuna is he DH. Absolutely nowhere for Devers to play.
The big counterpoint to that is why does a team like the red sox need the other team to absorb the whole contract? That choice, and the speed of this move, reflects a priority vs. the quality of return.
The whole thing reeks
The jays are desperate for anyone that would play there. As a jays fan trust me, i know. Locked in for 8 years, this was the jays dream scenario. Unless all this soto/ohtani talk was just saving face for them to sell to fans that they’re “trying”
FYI thats exactly what that was, everyone in Toronto knew that wasn’t happening. Just leverage to get more money.
probably would not trade him in the division
its a good/fair point.
Little or Whitlock
In saves/holds league
Both been pretty good
Whit
Mark Leiter jr or Whitlock
Whit
Is there any reason to hold on to Albies?
It’s a points leave, and he sucks. But I have him in a good keeper slot and had him there since he came into the mlb.
So he is a a well priced awful player
Should I cut bait? Or hold in hopes he became good again?
Hold in a keeper
King, Yates or Vesia for holds and ratios?
Yates
5X5 OBP
Desperatly need a 3B until Bregman comes back
Miguel Vargas, Ryan McMahon, and Will Castro are the only best options.
who you rolling with?
McMahon
10 Team Dynasty 6×6 OBP/SLG and QS/K-BB
Would you trade Misiorowski/Crews for Strider?
Yes
Oh great Grey,
please rank ROS pts league:
Ozuna, Riley, Westburg
Riley, West
With 3 easy matchups in the next 3 weeks this seems like the time to grab Chandler? He is harder to hold in shallow leagues I think but I have easy matchups so…
Ok
I know shallow league problems and all but until Bryce returns I need a 1B. Between
O’Hearn
Aranda
Soderstrom
Toro
Flores
Soder
Mookie Betts, Rafael Devers and Chris Sale have netted Vaughn Grissom, Alex Verdugo, Connor Wong, Jeter Downs, Jordan Hicks, and Kyle Harrison.
what a shonda.
Ridiculous
better pick up for saves. Vesia, Kirby or Kahnle.
Kahnle
Westburg or Betts
Betts
Riley Greene or Ozuna pts league?
Riley
Hi Grey,
Somehow, I’ve stashed Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer and Roman Anthony. I don’t currently have to move any of them. But if I did, why is it Kristian Campbell? Also, who benefits the most from this Devers exit?
I guess Wilyer, when he returns
12 team h/h points
Acuna/Bubic … or Friedl/E Suarez /Mize
Acuna
Grey, please help the girl –
I’m really really good at fantasy football, and have been begging my husband FOR YEARS to let me play in his friend league. Naturally I’ve been talking shit and telling him he won’t let me play because he’s scared I’ll show him and his friends up. Well this year, he finally let me into his baseball league. It’s my first time with fantasy baseball… and my team is an absolute disaster. It’s a 10 player legacy league. While I didn’t have any legacy players, I drafted a team of all stars (literally they had been all stars in the past couple of years), and between injuries, slumps, and annual Cy Young contenders just shitting their pants (looking at you, Nola), my team is in 8th place and getting annihilated every week- by like 100 points.
For the sake of all of the 12 girls that play fantasy sports, I need for help. I can’t go down like this.
Have you considered logging into your husband’s team and trading yourself all his good players for your bad ones?
He’s the commissioner so I’ve tried hacking in a few times. He’s unfortunately using a password I don’t know. My players aren’t even bad. They’re just not doing anything. But the league is deep enough where the majority of the players available are punts
Stream pitchers in a weekly head to head points league. Get as many starts as you can per week. Cut bait with those injured starters and churn and burn. Make sure you have good hitting….
I’m still working on pitching. I have Gore, Castillo, and Bubic who are typically solid, and Strider who finally looks like he’s figured it out. My hitting is good on paper – William Contreras, Trea Turner, Tatis, Michael Harris, Mullins, Pena, Volpe, Vinnie P, and Luis Arrez (who’s not great this year).
It also depends on point set up. Is there a weekly limit on pickups,starts?
10 total adds a week – I tried streaming starting pitching for a few weeks. didn’t work out well.
You’re not giving much to work with on how to help

Best Available in Yahoo:
Batters:

Pitchers:
Shane Smith, Chad Patrick, Tommy Kahlne
Also, Willi Castro and Christian Moore
Why do you have them? Get rid of these guys who are not starting
They’re on my bench. So drop anyone who isn’t starting daily (on game days)?
No, don’t drop anyone, but guys on end of your roster like Campbell, Falter, etc
Your team should be better, so there’s that….is this a 3 OF league? trade Vinnie and Arraez for anything, then pick up Sheets and play him at 1B and lose Campbell for JP or Kahlne…Raisel better be on your bench, or drop him for an excellent set up man, like Randy Rodriguez or Whitlock, if that doesn’t work, then grab Ben Casparius as he’s being stretched out
5 of, 2 util spots. Just picked up Sheets, Randy Rodriguez and Whitlock.
Also depends how the points are set up….some leagues you shouldn’t carry a closer so you should prioritize the good ones..
5 sp spots, 2 rp spots, and 2 pitcher spots that anyone can be in
Most important thing….is there a limit on weekly pickups or starts or innings cap?
10 pickups weekly, can be any player and you have to have a min of 30 IP for the week or the pitching points don’t count.
So make sure you use all
adds instead of carrying injured guys and bench hitters stream the f out of pitching. Try to get guys starting vs crappy teams. 10 points per pitcher per week will even up your scores.
If there is no limit pickup starters based on matchups. Grey has a streamonator not that I use it…I feel it’s cheating
Welcome to fantasy baseball….
Hey Grey.
Trout and canning for lou robert and andrew painter in a forever keeper league. Which side you taking?
Neither? I guess Robert
Yeah. Kinda how I feel. I guess I choose youth and painter’s potential?
Yeah, it’s fair
I was offered Albies for my Josh Smith and Medroith. 12 team keep 10 mixed keeper. This is a rebuilding year, so looking for people I can either sell this year or keep. With that context are you making the deal or holding? Feels unlikely I can keep any of them. I lean towards holding, which would have been hard to believe at the start of the year…
Thanks!
I’d take Albies
Thanks! Do you think Albies can turn it around? Or just more hope he regains some value than that anyone is interested in Smith/Medroith?
Yeah, he could, I’d prefer that bet for future years than Smith/Meidroth, but I guess it could backfire
Vladimir Guerrero for Torkelson and Jacob Wilson. Looks like a rip-off for one side based on ADP and for the other side based on YTD. Which side or you on or is it fair?
Vlad
Is Mahle drop or Hold ( IL Spot )
Shoulder problems end of last season .. shoulder problems early this season ..
Drop
which side would you want Oneil Cruz, Vientos, & Palencia or Yamamato, Snell, and Arraez?
Cruz
Grey, which guy would you go with this week?
Lux (6, MIN, @STL)
Gimenez (6, ARI, CHW)
Andres
12 team h/h points
Can add two SPers
Priester
Roupp
Quintana
E Rod
Kershaw
E Cabrera
Elder
Kershaw, ERod
Morning Grey,
Which one of these starters would you SIT this week?
Mize (PIT, @TB)
G. Williams (@SF)
Bibee (@ATH)
Bibee
Shame on the Redsox for trading Rafael to San Fran. He’s an iconic homegrown star he helped win them a World Series. Another curse looks to be upon Boston for this. San Fran on the other hand once had a Kung Fu panda and now adds a teenage mutant ninja turtle. Wish I could trade for Raffy for peanuts. I get they had to eat that salary but if he’s Raffy it’s worth every penny for his Bo staff skills.
I know
Hey Grey!
Not great news on Vest. Which one would you go with this week out of:
Vest (3 PIT, 3 @TB)
Kahnle (same)
Pagan (3 MIN, 3 @STL)
Pagan
My semi-monthly roster check-in has been moved up based on recent results. Faced the 10th and 11th place teams in 12 teamer league the past 2 weeks and split the cats…. Ten hitting, nine pitching. Thought I would make a move up so very disappointing. Hitting was horrible so will focus there. Still in third place but things are tightening up.
So, here is the roster, wire and questions.
Ivan
Vlad, Machado, Tork
Lindor, B Lowe, Winn
Tucker, Teoscar, Donovan, Ward, Myers (must play a CF)
Util – Xavier or McNeil
IL – Harper
Wheeler, Crochet, Yamamoto, Ranger, Bibee, Abbott, Misi
Bautista, Estevez, Vest
WW: Cowser, V Scott, Burger, M Vargas
G Holmes, Singer, Baz, Kershaw
1. Do you agree that one of Winn, McNeil or Xavier should be dropped to create a streamer spot or to pick up a holds guy like Vesia or Yates?
2. I was short on power so traded for Tork and Ward several weeks ago only giving up n Lowe and Iglesias. Good timing on Ward as he hit a bunch of bombs right afterwards. But I feel like my power is now meh and so are my other cats…singles, doubles, average, SBs. Do I go all in for power with a Burger and/or Vargas or keep a more balanced approach? Grab a speedster and get SBs and singles/doubles?
3. I guess I am trying to get a read on this squad. Is it still solid? Tough two weeks? Or time for aggressive changes via the wire or trades?
Appreciate your patience with this meandering post (which I edited down believe it or not!)
1. Yes, Winn for Holmes or Yates…do you punt holds? Vest is hurt too 2. McNeil for Cowser 3. Seems fine, pitching looks better than hitting…Myers is terrible for a 12 teamer
Thank you. Helpful. I picked up Myers for the weekend and today. He is an easy drop. I could drop him and McNeil for Cowser and Yates. I look at holds week-to-week depending on my opponent. If he has 2-3 holds guys, I punt. If not I use one of my 7 weekly moves to try and grab that cat.
So ironic that my pitching is better than hitting. I drafted for hitting and then made two helpful trades early in the year:
Shota and Kurtz for Crochet.
Kirby, Cast and Campbell for Wheeler, Ward, and Santander (dropped the latter since he does not play and has been bad anyway).
No problem
Happy Monday, Grey!
How do you rank these starts:
Schwelly vs NYM
Abbott vs MIN
Schmidt vs LAA
Schmidt vs BAL
Bassitt vs ARI
Walter @LAA
That seems fine
Would you also rank Boyd vs SEA and Abbott @STL over Schmidt vs LAA?
Boyd, Clarke, Abbott
Got offered Cris Sanchez for Riley Greene in a 10T OBP roto league with 5 OF rosters. My rotation is Ray, Bubic, Ober, Peterson, Horton with Senga and Zebby on the IL; my OF is Greene, Ward, Julio, Seiya, Stowers, Frelick and Wallner. Yay or nay on the deal?
Nay
Adames or Tovar ROS?
Adames
Man I been having some bad luck… so Elder ran through that door who I streamed last week and I ran through my own screen door also! Legit I was trying to make my hungry wife late night chicken had a lil bbq 420 smoke and then closed my screen door and went inside. Worried my chicken would burn I sprang into action running right through it! Amazing!
I cant drop myself so I dropped Elder was wondering if you could help me with my pitching planning for weekly lineups 5×5 with QS overs wins and net svs hlds over saves.
so my opponent has 4 Rps and I usually use 3. I only have 3.
I was going to bench Lugo but now he is 2 starts! So now I am wondering do I bench, Bubic @texas (had his start pushed back again and got worked last time) Grant Holmes @ Miami 2 start mccullers @ath @laa 2 start warren Laa and Balt or do I go down to 2 Rps myself and bench Jax cade smith or hoffman.
can only bench 1 of these pitchermans
thank you!
Holmes
better stash: Vientos or Noelvi Marte?
Vientos
Sheets or Gurriel jr
Sheets
Anyone have any idea what the hell the Dodgers are doing with Casparius? He was originally penciled in as a two start, now he’s down to one. Will he be Otani’s caddy when Otani opens? Sheehan’s reinstatement from the IL has muddied the waters.
They’re stretching him out
So those hoping to have a Dodgers arm for wins going forward should we bet on Casparius or Sheehan? I want a piece of that LA pie!
Casparius
Rest of season Dobbins or Burrows?
Burrows
Interested in streaming Buehler on the road tomorrow in Sea?
Sure
I would definitely veto the Devers trade in a fantasy league. Your analysis is right on.
Yup!
Seems bad. It will be interesting to see how, if they reinvest the Devers contract monies.
Worth grabbing Roman Anthony over Adell ? Hoping for more playing time with Devers gone
Yes
Standard Roto ROS: Betts or Buxton?
Betts
ROS rank. Julio, Carroll, Tatis and Butler. As a follow up, would you move Butler up or down when he has a full slate of home games in that park that resembles a school yard?
Corbin, Julio, Tatis
A’s won’t be playing many games at home in the 2nd half
Morning, Grey
pitch Ohtani today versus the Padres or no and see what happens in his first game back?
No
Can you rank the following P in std 12 team roto:
Fried, Webb, Rodon
You did
Should I trade Baz and Misiorowski for Dylan Cease and Buxton. 14 team league category.
Yes
ESPN Points, this week only…Please rank:
Kershaw vs Wash
Cecconi @SF, @Ath (2 starts)
Soroka vs Col, @LAD (2 starts)
Thanks
You did
NL-only keep 10, top bats go for around 50 in the auction, what kind of bid on Devers if he’s required to be kept?
50?
Playing for next year in a 12-team roto 6×6 league with ops and qs. We get 10 keepers.
Thinking about trading my Austin Riley ($28) and Rodon ($14) for his Neto ($8) and David Peterson ($3).
Is this foolish of me? Here are my other keepers:
Acuna – $31
Witt – $31
Riley- $28
Strider- $18
Crochet – $11
Merrill – $8
Mclanahan- $8
Thanks as always!
Doesn’t sound great
Time to declare the Parker Meadows stash and hold an ill advised decision? Willi Castro seem likes a better option at this point, agreed?
Sure
Grey….I am going to blow your mind…ready? Mitch Keller is tied for the most QS in baseball, at 11.
WHAT
I was as shocked as you are….two blow up outings on April 4th and June 5th have skewed his ratios…been pretty consistent and solid, otherwise.
Yup!
Yelich/Rodon or Betts ?
Betts
Please rank ROS…
Max Muncy (LAD)
Ozzie Albies
Nico Hoerner
Jazz
Corey Seager
12 team Head to Head points League
Thanks….
Jazz, Seager, Nico
Grey, my dynasty team is doo doo, I’m in full rebuild. Was offered Langford and a first round draft pick next year for Wheeler. Thoughts?
For context, this year’s first 3 draft picks were Roki, Raisel Igelsias, and Cal Raleigh, so benches are pretty deep
I’d take Wyatt
What is I up with Lars Nootbat? He’s been unbelievably bad..
He needs a disgraced list stint.
Oh no
Streaming liberatore @white Sox?
Seems fine
Hey Grey,
Can you these 4 ROS please.
Frelick, Matt McLain, Matt Shaw, Roman Anthony
Thanks.
Roman, Frelick
Rest of season please rank Taylor Ward, Nimmo, Jesus Sanchez.
Thanks!
Ward, Jesus
Okay to drop Ozzie Albies in a 10 team H2H categories league? Picked up Brandon Lowe a while ago so Albies has just been sitting on my bunch for a couple weeks.
Thanks!
Sure
When do we drop Ozzie Albies? What in the world is wrong with him?
Now
Starting pepiot vs orioles?
Sounds fine
Ive been offered Bubic and Clay Homes for Flaherty. On 2025 stats so far, it looks good but I’m declining unless you think something is wrong with Flaherty.
Bubic side
I would describe the scintillating ending to my 2 point win in my H2H league, but I think it deserves a much longer post, more appropriate for a less busy thread. I don’t want anyone to miss the small details that weave together this remarkable comeback win. The amount of things that had to go right on Sunday to steal this win, would probably fill 2 or 3 of those small blue books we used in college. One question. Start Devers this week or not? Im sure he’s happy to go to SF, but Raphy Devers doesn’t seem like the guy who’s traded and in the lineup the next night. How many games you think he misses and is Max Muncy or Mikael Garcia playing a full week better than whatever I get from Devers. Thx in advance.
Start
12 team redraft, Zac Gallen or Heliot Ramos?
Ramos
Bench any of these starts for this week?
Seth Lugo @Tex, @SD
Zach Eflin @TB, @NYY
Eflin
Hi, 12 teams dynasty league :
I have those SP on IR
Lopez
Snell (on the way back)
G.Rodriguez
H. Greene
R. Sasaki
I have good healthy Sps (Fried, Castillo, Lugo, Kirby)
I have fill-ins for all the injury (Roupp, Cabrera, Warren, Ober, Liberatore)
My IR is full. Should I drop some of the Sps on IR ?
I am thinking Sasaki but good move in a dynasty league or hold a few weeks so Snell and others come back ?
Also, ROS regarless of positions need : Kurtz, Adames, Burger
Thanks a lot
Adames, Kurtz
Roki is droppable
the devers trade was crazy……who do you like in H2H points league…do you trust abel and/or Miiroriowski a couple tough matchups

Thoughts on the following trade in a dynasty? I’m near the bottom of the league so looking for upside and building for next year.
I give:
Nick Lodolo $19
Bryan Reynolds $20
I get:
Connor Norby $7
Brenton Doyle $16
Felnin Celesten (Minors)
Or I could sub in Pivetta $12 instead of Lodolo.
Not great
No starts added to the 100 Best list yesterday, though Hancock almost squeaked in. Strider and Lopez did make it on Saturday. The Braves now have 5 entries while the Athletics have 2:
2 Spencer Schwellenbach Apr 4 vs MIA
21 Spencer Strider Jun 14 vs COL
57 Spencer Schwellenbach Jun 11 @MIL
59 Spencer Schwellenbach May 31 vs BOS
73 Jeffrey Springs Mar 28 @SEA

Nice! Good stuff, Vin!
oops. I guess the list hadn’t updated. It is now showing 2 starts from yesterday.
88 Nick Pivetta @ARI
89 Emerson Hancock vs CLE
My formula did not like the 2 earned runs for Pivetta.
Kinda surprised they did make it, tbh
Ump screwed Crochet Friday (in the 9th, he struck out Judge 2x before the HR). That 1-0 shutout would have likely been Top 5.
11 team 5 x 5 roto.
Eflin slightly positive today @TB. Start?
Doesn’t sound great to me
1) Who is the better C2 ROS, Teel or Francisco Alvarez?
2) Drop Matt Shaw for one of the Ottos (Kemp or Lopez) or hold? Mostly want steals & BA from that roster spot.
Teel 2. Lopez
We still holding Bubba Chandler? He’s had 2 straight starts with 4 or more walks and hasn’t been getting far into games in triple A. Have held him for more then a month now it might be time to let him go, someone just dropped Bubic in my league as well.
Drop Bubba
Scwarber/B. Lowe
Or
Duran/Holliday
Needs? It’s fair
Ranger Suarez or Merrill Kelly, ROS?
Ranger
I have a bunch of guys really under performing their xba…
Like Ben Rice…my man hits everything like 100+mph but it’s an out.
Hoping for a stat correction soon.
Gotcha
Kyle Harrison… Was gonna pick him up for Roupp….. But is Boston the worst landing spot?
I think they sent him to AAA
yes
I can only start one:
Sale NYM
Webb CLE
Sale
Roupp or Walter in a QS lg with limited pickups?
Walter
Would you pick up House as a CI option over any of Schaneul, Toro, or Barger? 12 tm 7×7 with OPS and XBH.
Over Nolan
In my keeper H2H league, which counts avg and OBP as separate categories, I’m being offered Turang for my Soderstrom. I can probably keep Soderstrom as a 10th rounder next year. Turang would probable not be a good option for me to keep based on round where he would bump my Carroll down an extra round. We can keep 7 and as of now mine would be Riley, Carroll, Ju Rod, Wood, PCA, and two of Alonso (2nd round), Soderstrom (10th rd), Shota (9th or 10th round), Will Smith (11th or 12th), or Gore (11th or 12th round). I’m hoping to grab Encarnacion-Strand on waivers who can prob be kept around round 10 also but not definite get him.
My full roster is
C Will Smith
1b Alonso
2b Stott
SS Seager
3b Riley
OF wood
OF Carroll
OF JuRod
Utility PCA
Utility Soderstrom
Bench: Reynolds, Willi Castro
NA: Chandler Simpson
Won’t list my SP as irrelevant to trade.
Thoughts on making the move? Should I only make move if I can get Encarnacion-Strand? Or hold?
It’s fair, it’s speed vs power…Hold out for CES why? Do you need power? Then don’t make the move
Ive just had inconsistency at 2b with Stott but recently added Castro. I dont always win or run away with steals so the extra SB from Turang helps. I have lost in HR but generally good on power. I just like having two 1b in Alonso and Soder, so was thinking it could be good to add that back with Encarnacion should I make that deal. Seeing my roster, would you stay put or pull trigger?
And who do you like ROS between Soder and Encarnacion out of curiosity?
Thanks as always
Why do you need two 1B? Alonso plays like 158 games a year — Sounds like Turang is a no brainer with your team
Soder is much better than CES
Hey Grey! Belated happy Dog Dads Day! So ive decided to not worry about rostering SPs and just gonna stream everyone who is ever pitching against the Rockies.
Ha, thanks!
Two not so great options for 3b Josh Jung or McMahon
McMahon
Is verlander worth a pickup at all in a 12 team league?
No
Grey!!!!
Amazing!
Rodney Dangerfield quote of the day for June 16, 2025
My wife can’t cook, no respect. In our house we pray AFTER the meal.
Cheers,
Ante
Thanks!
That’s funny right there, I don’t care who you are!
Eury is looking “special” for sure…
?
To throw 4 innings without getting a strikeout! Even Kike gets one.
Ha yup
Devers to SF – I still can’t believe it.
<3
Looks like Buster Posey is putting his stamp on the org.
I’m irrationally happy about this. I can’t wait to finally see the splash hit sign change again.
Haha, it’s so crazy, I would be too if I were a Giants fan
Update: BoSox Bostoner in my league not nearly as happy.
lol
Haha
Shohei Ohtani will start on the mound on Monday against the Padres.
yes
The one encouraging thing Baz did today was throw a cutter. He threw it 18% of the time. That could be huge and give him another pitch. He ditched his slider. His slider was his worst pitch and it was not very good. It was flat and lacked movement. It was getting destroyed: 429 ba, 6 of his 13 hr allowed were off the slider (a pitch he threw 7% of the time). The cutter is 3 mph harder than his slider. I may be back on the Baz wagon if he can command the pitch and has changed his mix. Actually I never left, 16 team dynasty league is where I have him.
Nice!
Serious question. Has anyone ever seen Royce Lewis’s and Eloy Jimenez’s hamstrings at the same place at the same time?
I feel bad for Lewis; he can play. He could be a star. It is sad. He was just starting to hit too. Anytime he gets hurt it is bad. He is incapable of suffering a mild injury. This strain will be grade 2 min. If he got hit by a pitch, x-rays would not be negative. You just know after seeing it happen every time he leaves with an injury.
HAHA
Would you drop Cowser for Stanton or House? It is a 16 team 4 by 4 league- Average, HRS, SB and RBI’s- not runs
No
Need the advice here: tried carrying Langeliers in my lineup to avoid dropping Woodruff as he’s on the mend, but I’m running short of patience to wait on him when updates are sparse and he’s easily going to need yet more rehab
If I were to drop Woodruff, how much time might I have before the vultures of my league might want to add him?
Also, considering dropping Shaw to get Josh Smith- thoughts?
Shaw is just too cold and being without Harper and any updates about him is forcing my hand to figure I need hot bats as I shuffle the lineup
I’d pick woodruff up tomorrow to stash on my IL if he was available. 4 IL spots 15 team league.
I’m 10 teams, 4 IL and really don’t want to do it. He was MIL bound before the line drive, Reese Olson be back in 1-2 weeks, Eovaldi within 3-4 weeks. It’s just been an avalanche of lousy luck lately
Matt Shaw? I’d wouldn’t think twice of cutting him.
I’d want Smith
GM A was considered “the smartest man in baseball” by the Wall Street Journal while GM B repeatedly took baseballs off his skull, shortening his career. Which one do you think traded Rafael Devers for nothing?
Was Devers the one firing balls to his dome?
HA!
HAHA
