For fantasy baseball managers still paying attention and in contention, the return from the All-Star break offers a chance to capitalize on a small sample. Fantasy sports, and especially trading in fantasy sports, is as much about psychological impact as it is about analyzing stats.

Nathan Eovaldi allowed nine runs in his first start out of the All-Star break. Aaron Judge went ballistic in the few days since baseball resumed. Josh Hader looks nothing like the dominant force he once was.

The performances of these players and others could have had a drastic impact on your standings in various categories in just a few days. A manager who felt comfortable with his pitching may now be in the market. Another who was concerned that Judge may not be able to carry his or her offense may now think totally differently.

Avoid running into these pitfalls. But at the same time, try to capitalize on them to the extent they offer an opportunity to make a better deal.

To help you find a deal that works, make sure to check the FantasyPros trade chart. The chart is updated every week to make sure you can accurately asses player values as they constantly change. So make sure to give it a look before making any deal.
