ROS Outlooks for Outfielders Traded to Playoff Contenders
Monday’s MLB trade deadline was an absolute whirlwind. I’m sure you can only imagine the buzz and flurry of activity behind the scenes of sites like FanGraphs that provide immediate analysis. It’s exciting, yet stressful. Everyone must be on their A-game so that they don’t miss a thing and cover every angle. Shoutout to my colleagues here for their great work over the last few days. In case you missed it, here is our Fantasy Impact Trade Tracker.
The purpose of this piece will be to delve into six outfielders with 15- and/or 12-team relevance who were just traded. Not all these hitters have increased fantasy value, nor are they necessarily slated for more playing time. The one thing they all have in common is that they were targeted and acquired by teams currently in the hunt for a playoff spot with a little less than one-third of the season to go.

Reviewing player adds between the two should provide us with a well-rounded perspective and barometer of the fantasy baseball marketplace.

Where there’s a Winn, there’s a way, or so those who didn’t hear it correctly say. But a Winn is not always winning.
Case in point: Alex Bregman’s two-run double in the 10th inning to defeat Winn’s birds and have outs fall into the Webb of Jacob. There were Crooks at the stadium concession, hoping to steal the last Nootbaar, but they were instantly subdued by Aaron Sir Vale in bottom of the 10th, engulfing flames of pride in the Windy City as their Cub runneth over, standing atop the NL Wild Card standings.
