As dynasty leagues continue to gain traction within the fantasy baseball community, the growth of great dynasty content keeps growing, too. One aspect that we realized was missing last year was a dynasty trade chart. You can see the 2020 version, but we wanted to update this year’s version throughout the season. We published the first list in February and updated it in May but you wanted more and more.
We heard you.
Just how much would it take to land Juan Soto? What if you wanted an ace in your mixed or mono league? We covered both types of leagues to assist you. To put together our list of the top dynasty players, I used Eric Cross’s top-500 rankings from Fantrax, updated in July. Eric is, by far, the best prospect evaluator in the game for fantasy purposes, so there is no better source to use. Follow him and follow his work.
My rankings vary from Eric’s list, but it gave a nice baseline for who to include and who to exclude. I went ahead and adjusted my list accordingly.
What’s more, as an added bonus, after pushing this back until after the MLB Draft and trade deadline passed, I added more players. We’re looking at 454 players in total.
Now, the values on the chart are a mix between current value, long-term value, and perceived value. Also, just because Soto is a 50 doesn’t mean that you can trade five 10’s for him.
You can find values below for mixed, AL-only, and NL-only dynasty fantasy baseball leagues.
Note: Not all dynasty leagues are made the same. Shohei Ohtani, for example, still comes in high. It’s impossible to assign Ohtani one true value when his eligibility varies on different sites, which also affects his worth in weekly vs. daily lineups. I’m ranking him as if he’s SP and DH in a daily league, and I’m using 5×5 traditional stats in my values. Calibrate to your league settings accordingly for every player.
