Fantasy Baseball Players to Sell High

What one MLB player are you trying to sell high right now and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Bryce Elder (SP – ATL)
“There are a few SPs that I would consider selling high before the bottom drops out, but I keep coming back to Bryce Elder as a candidate who might get me the most significant return. (He also might continue getting lucky and make me look dumb, but I’m willing to take the chance.) His ERA of 2.01 seems unsustainable, considering his xERA is 4.46. He is stranding runners at an absurd 87.3% clip, which is worlds above his previous numbers. Even with that lineup around him, he still only has three wins on the season, the last of which came on May 2. I don’t see him as the asset that others might, and if I could snag Sean Murphy or Nolan Arenado for him, I’d be happy.”

Anthony Rizzo (1B – NYY)
“Currently ranked inside the Top 50 in Yahoo! rankings, the veteran first baseman is hitting a robust .304 this season with an .881 OPS and 11 long balls. The short porch in Yankee Stadium is nice and all, and Rizzo very well may eclipse 30 home runs this year for the sixth time in his career. But that batting average is sure to take a tumble at some point, as the 33-year-old hit just .224 last year and hasn’t hit higher than .250 since 2019. I doubt you can get Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. or Anthony Riley for Rizzo, but even a player like Matt Chapman or Byron Buxton for him.”
– Lucas Spence (Pitcher List)

Josiah Gray (SP – WSH)
“One player I would be looking to sell high is Josiah Gray. His numbers on paper look really solid, with a 2.77 ERA and 51 strikeouts across 61.2 innings pitched. However, his expected ERA is 4.19, which suggests he has been on the luckier side of things so far on the mound. His command has also been a little unreliable, walking at least three hitters in four straight starts. Gray can still be solid moving forward for fantasy managers, but chances are his value might be at the highest point it will be at this season. I’d be likely to try to do a cross-position trade for Gray to try and acquire a hitter unless your team would need a starter in return.”

Jorge Soler (OF – MIA)
“There is no hotter player than Jorge Soler right now. At 31 years old, he’s on track to have his best season ever. Can he keep that up? Maybe. Will he? Not likely. Outside of an EXTREME outlier in 2019 where he hit 41 home runs, Soler has never hit more than 20 dingers in a season. He’s currently at 17 through the first two months of the season. While it’s tempting to let it ride on Soler, it’s worth trying to see if you can flip him along with another piece for a top-tier pitcher like Spencer Strider, Zac Gallen, or Framber Valdez if one of those managers is desperate for an offensive boost.”
– Nick Raducanu (Dr. Roto)

“Jorge Soler has been on fire the last few weeks and his 17 HRs are impressive to say the least. He did reach an astounding 48 bombs a few years ago, but he’s always been an incredibly streaky player who strikes out too often and is a career .240 hitter with a .792 OPS. Soler is at his peak, so cash in before the bottom inevitably drops out. If I could get Starling Marte and a quality pitcher, I’d do that deal.”
