Yesterday we kept you updated on all the trades that went down and speculated to the best of our ability on what might come next. After all, every addition to the active roster requires someone getting shipped out or sent down; every player traded away needs to be replaced. Now we are starting to see what moves teams are actually making to clean up any messes created at the deadline.

In this article, I cover the players using CBS’s and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both sites have the option for daily and weekly waiver wire adds. CBS uses a weekly change while Yahoo looks at the last 24 hours. Yahoo is a great snapshot of right now, while CBS ensures hot targets from early in the week aren’t missed. I start players being added at CBS who started the week on less than 40% of rosters.
The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference, grouped by hitters, starters, and relievers. Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of “touted” prospects just got promoted, and here is my evaluation on each.
I’m optimistic Matthews can eventually be a major league pitcher if he can throw strikes. Let’s start with the good before getting to his command. In each of the past two Triple-A seasons, the 25-year-old lefty has posted strikeout rates around 10.5 K/9. He’s attacking batters with this five-pitch mix (combined stats from ’25 and ’26).

While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even larger entry fees ($2.5K to $15K). They are named Elite leagues (previously called High Stakes Leagues), and there are nine of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers try to gain every advantage. Most of the time, these managers will be a week or two ahead of everyone else on their adds. Here are the players and some information on the ones added in five or more leagues.

Note: Any noted rostership rates come from the NFBC RotoWire Online Championship, the same rates we use on the FanGraphs Player Rater. For reference, these leagues are 12-team Roto leagues with 30-man rosters (2 C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI, 5 OF, UT, 9 P) and weekly add/drops. This rate can be compared to other rostership rates found in this article.

Sorry I for only getting to the National League today. I’ve been under the weather and don’t want to push it.

Note: The waiver wire market over the last few weeks has been the worst I can remember. Five pitchers broke the threshold this week. If I did my normal five leagues, only two guys would be featured. After writing up the players, I felt like only two to three seemed like difference makers. The others were just the “best” of the rubish available on the waiver wire. The stagnant waiver wire has stagnated the standings, with teams running out the same guys every week. The lack of movement should change in the next couple of weeks with MLB’s trade deadline and a few stars (Ramirez, Acuna) expected to come off the IL. Read the rest of this entry »
