Under-owned Studs on the Waivers (Ep. 65)

With so many players on the DL this year, teams have been forced to drop studs or hang onto injured players that are taking up valuable space. All that means is that there’s still talent to be picked up. Chris Meaney, host of the FNTSY Sports Network’s podcast is joining us to discuss all these players including future prospects in Yoan Moncada (10:52) and Gleyber Torres (13:46), as well as established players in Starling Marte (4:58), David Peralta (8:57), Joe Ross (19:42), and Archie Bradley (24:07).

Fantasy Fact or Fiction (Ep. 64)

Joining us on today’s show is Matt Lutovsky of SportingNews.com. With nearly two months of baseball played, we’re playing a little game and giving our take on what to believe is real or not. This includes hot starts from teams like the Brewers (5:10), Twins (6:58), Diamondback, and Rockies (11:33), as well whether Miguel Sano is MVP-worthy (15:51), if Andrew McCutchen can be dropped (26:09), what Eduardo Rodriguez’s value is (33:35), or if Jose Berrios will be a top 20 pitcher the rest of the way.
