Fantasy Baseball Trade Advice
What one MLB player are you trying to sell high right now, and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Tyler Glasnow (SP – LAD)
“We have certainly already seen how well Tyler Glasnow can pitch when he is healthy. But I would want to move him before another IL stint robs me of using him for an extensive period again. He has never pitched more than 120 innings and I would try to move him for another respectable starting pitcher and a solid bat that can fill a need if possible. ”
– Scott Engel (RotoBaller)
Jose Berrios (SP – TOR)
“Jose Berrios’s ERA jumps out at you at 1.05, but he has one of the biggest starting pitcher differentials between his actual ERA and his expected ERA which is at 4.45, a more than three-run difference. He’s getting hit harder with a 50% hard-hit rate against. Before getting the gift of Colorado, Berrios was sporting a 19% K%, paired with a higher walk rate than the previous four years. His “slurve” is more effective than usual, but both the sinker and fastball have dramatically higher expected batting averages against and 92+ MPH exit velocities against. I believe Berrios can continue being a solid pitcher, just not a sub-three ERA pitcher. That one ERA might be a sign of a great sell-high opportunity before things come back down to earth.”

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (OF – ARI)
“I’m taking the easy path on who to sell high on, but for me, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is a no-brainer slam-dunk sell. He has had one of these months every single year of his career when he is just unstoppable at the plate. It never ever ever ever sticks. If I were to sell him, I would look to try and get someone like Bogaerts or Reynolds, a trusty vet who is due to heat up soon.”
– Chad Simpson (Fantasy Six Pack)
