Fantasy Impact: With the Rockies waiving Warming Bernabel on Saturday, the first base position is wide open. New Rockies president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes have noted there is talent within the organization, suggesting they won’t be highly active in free agency. Condon, the Rockies’ No. 2 overall prospect, figures to have a strong chance to compete for the starting first base role after slashing .286/.376/.444 with 14 home runs across 433 plate appearances in his first minor league season. He also participated in the Arizona Fall League, where he slashed .337/.439/.434 with one home run across 98 plate appearances.

Kyle Schwarber has reportedly received a four-year offer from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the deal is "almost certainly" worth more than $100 million, per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. (Source: The Athletic)
Fantasy Impact: Schwarber is one of the biggest free agents on the market, and it's no surprise to see the Pittsburgh Pirates make an offer, even if they remain longshots given their recent track record and their likelihood of being outbid. Schwarber is expected to make a decision within the next two weeks, with the Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, Boston Red Sox and New York Mets viewed as the favorites to land the left-handed slugger.
