Fantasy Baseball Trade Advice & Waiver Wire Targets

Ryan Wormeli and Mike Maher break down this week’s top fantasy baseball buy-low targets, including Red Sox rookie Christian Knapczyk and Rays slugger Yandy Diaz.

They also take a hard look at sell-high candidates like Geraldo Perdomo and Mitch Keller before diving into key waiver pickups like Matt Shaw and Miguel Vargas. If you’re looking to dominate your fantasy league down the stretch, this episode has the insight and player analysis you need.

Looking for streamer help? Good luck-this week’s options are rough. Ryan Wormeli and Mike Maher sift through a sparse slate with names like Luis Severino (@HOU), Colin Rea (vs. CIN), and Jose Soriano (vs. CLE) surfacing as potential plays.

Is Nick Martinez‘s start at Kauffman enough to trust? Is Chris Paddack worth the risk? And is Bowden Francis somehow a better bet than you think? The guys also preview Hunter Greene‘s hyped return and debate if Jeffrey Springs is a must-add.

Streaming gets dicey, but we’ve got your roadmap.
