Players to Trade
Rafael Devers (3B – BOS)
“Players as good as Rafael Devers are rarely available via trade. However, over the last 30 days, Devers has been underwhelming, hitting .209 with a .696 OPS during that span. Josh Jung and an arm could be enough to land the slugging Devers, who will most assuredly have a better second half. As great as Jung has been, the track record of Devers is far more impressive. ”

Bobby Witt Jr. (3B, SS – KC)
“Bobby Witt Jr. has been disappointing thus far in 2023. He is slashing .248/.289/.434 with 12 home runs. Sure, he has 22 stolen bases on the year, but this might be your best opportunity to get a great talent for much less than he might regularly cost. His xBA is .289, and xSLG is .532, a full 98 points higher than now. What it would take to get him is based entirely on the type of league you’re in. It would take more in keeper/dynasty, but it might be worth it if you can pry him away from someone and have him beyond this year. I would be willing to offer up a Royce Lewis/Devin Williams-like combo to start the negotiations.”

Bryce Miller (SP – SEA)
“Bryce Miller owns a 3.68 ERA in 51.1 innings this season, which is good from a surface-level standpoint, but it’s a far cry from the rookie scattering four earned runs in his first 31.1 Major League innings earlier in May. Still, Miller’s 3.12 FIP is a lot more indicative of how effective he’s been, and much of his ERA being so high is down to a rough two-start stretch in late May and early June that saw him surrender 19 hits, 15 earned runs, three home runs and a pair of walks in seven total innings. Since then, the right-hander has allowed just two earned runs in his last 13 innings while striking out 12 batters. Furthermore, he’s sporting the third-best Pitching+ number, per FanGraphs, among starters with at least 50 innings and is sixth among the same group in terms of Stuff+, also per FanGraphs. If fantasy managers can acquire Miller, who is much better than his relatively bloated ERA, for a pitcher like Domingo German or Chris Bassitt, it’d be a definite win. ”
