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?

Carlos Rodon (SP – NYY)

“Carlos Rodon on the year has a very nice 2.95 ERA with six wins but also one of the league’s biggest ERA to xERA differences from 2.95 to 4.49 expected. His K% isn’t good at 22% paired with a 7% walk rate, his average hard hit against is up, his barrel% against is up, and it looks more reminiscent of last year than his two prior great seasons. Lastly, the big elephant in the room is his injury history. I’d rather not stay at the dance too long with Rodon.”

Isaac Paredes (3B – TB)

“Isaac Paredes is becoming a hot commodity now that his batting average is over the .300 mark to go with nine home runs and 29 RBI. We know the power is legit after last season but there is serious negative regression coming with the batting average that is a full 60 points over his xBA. It’s remarkable that someone with an anemic 27.8% Hard Hit rate continues to parlay his ability to pull the ball at the right launch angle into solid power numbers, but I don’t doubt he can keep it up. I do doubt that a full-fledged breakout into stardom is happening, so I’d gladly flip him for a struggling star like Austin Riley or someone who offers speed like Oneil Cruz.”
– Pierre Camus (Fantasy Endgame)

Luis Gil (SP – NYY)

“You’re not going to like this one. Luis Gil of the Yankees has been awesome so far. His 2.11 ERA and 1.01 WHIP have been a league saver for managers who drafted him late. However, his highest innings total in a season was 96 back in 2019. That doesn’t bode well for him being an impact starter in the latter part of the season and he should cross 60 IP by the end of this week. Gerrit Cole is working his way back, and it’s very possible Gil is the odd man out based on the innings concerns. His 4.7 BB/9 and 81% LOB rate mean that rougher times could also be on the horizon. Outside of HOU and BAL, Gil also hasn’t faced a lot of tough offenses. I know he’s been great, but if you have fantasy playoffs, you have to consider selling at the peak soon.”
