Dynasty Trade Advice: Ozzie Albies, Spencer Torkelson, Sean Murphy (Fantasy Baseball)

Trying to catch all in a dynasty league is always a bit of a mission, because most dynasty leagues have so many unique formats, but this is what I’m going to attempt to do in this article.

Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Players to Sell

C Sean Murphy (Braves)

Murphy went from playing 148 games for Oakland to playing only 108 games, splitting time with Travis d’Arnaud. He’s gone now, but Drake Baldwin will slide right in and probably eat up the same playing time as d’Arnaud – if not more. Since July 1st, 2023 Sean Murphy has a .193/.305/.360 slash with an over 50% groundball rate. On the flip side, he also ran a .219 BABIP over this period, but he turned 30 years old and this is not the way to begin the backside of your career.

1B Spencer Torkelson (Tigers)

There are rumors the Tigers are shopping Spencer Torkelson and that Colt Keith is going to slide over to 1B after the Tigers signed Gleyber Torres. Torkelson had a rough first half in 2023 and a killer second half where he smoked a bunch of homers and looked to be back on track, but he was atrocious in 2024 with a .219/.295/.374 slash and only 10 homers in 92 games. He’s still only going to be 25 years old next year and it’s possible a change of scenery will be beneficial for him, but I’m so far down on him at this point I’m picking prospects over him in my dynasty rankings.

2B Ozzie Albies (Braves)

Albies has run an under .260 batting average in three of the last four seasons. He’s missed significant time in two of the last four seasons. He’s stolen 20 bags in only one season of his career (exactly 20). He’s had an under .165 ISO in two of the last four seasons. Albies is 28 years old now and is not as consistent a player as most make him out to be, you’re better off spending your money or draft picks on other assets. The value is too high if people are drafting him like a top 3-5 dynasty 2B.
