Fantasy Baseball Live! – December 8, 2024Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The A’s stunned the baseball world, or at least me, by spending money. They signed Luis Severino for three years and $67 million. I wrote a long post about him for our Patreon members. What are your thoughts on the signing?a.I’ve seen comments on Justin’s 365 page that he’s on the Do Not Draft list. Do you agree?2.The Orioles were busy adding some right-handed power, signing Tyler O’Neill to a three-year 49.5 million.a.What does the Orioles outfield look like?b.O’Neill has some nasty splits. Last year with the Red Sox, he hit home runs, but 16 of them came against LHP in 156 PA and 15 in twice a many at-bats against RHP. Plus, he hit .317 against LHP and only .208 against righty.c.They also add Gary Sanchez to a one-year deal for $8.5 million. His splits are there two, but not as severe as O’Neill3.The Giants make a splash by signing Willy Adames to a seven year, $182 million deal.a.What are your thoughts on this deal?4.I hate to disc

Fantasy Baseball Live – December 1, 2024Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The Dodgers have been busy.a.They signed Blake Snell to a 5-year, $182 million deal with $62 million deferred. This model appears to be the Dodgers' signature as they kick the financial ball down the road. i.The Dodgers appear to want a star at each position and a rotation of #1 starters. The obvious problem here is the health of these starters. Thoughts?b.The Dodgers also extend Tommy Edman, signing him to a 5-year, $74 million extension. Once again, money is deferred – a third, in this case, $25MM.i.If the deferred strategy is working, why aren’t other teams joining in?c.Should MLB step in against this strategy or just let teams continue to push their liabilities to a later date?d.If the deferred strategy is working, why aren’t other teams joining in?i.Should MLB intervene against this strategy or let teams continue to postpone their liabilities?2.Down the road, the Angels sign Yusei Kikuchi to a three-year, $63 million (nothing deferre

Fantasy Baseball Live – November 24, 2024Segment 1 – News and Notes1.We had a trade! The Royals traded Brady Singer to the Reds for Jonathan India and Joey Wiemer.a.Who does this free up for playing time in Cincinnati?b.Does Brady Singer’s value go down moving to Cincinnati?c.Joey Weimer has alluring tools with plus speed and enough pop to suggest 15 to 20 home run pop. He’s never been able to hit. Does he get a shot in Kansas City?2.The Nationals non-tender Kyle Finnegan, and he is now a free agent. I’m not sure I get this one. They couldn’t trade him?a.Who do you like to get saves in Washington?3.The Rockies non-tender Brandon Rodgers. I guess this makes sense as he was due for a raise (estimated at $5.5 million), and let’s face it, he’s not that good, and there are plenty of options.a.Who do you think gets his playing time?4.Finally, the Blue Jays non-tender Jordan Romano. He was estimated to earn $8 million and it appears that the Jays didn’t want to take the risk on whether he would return to form. Perha

Segment 1 – News and Notes1.The Rays will play their 2024 home games at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. It’s hard to say exactly what the hitting and pitching effects will be, but Steinbrenner Field has always benefited offense.a.Will you make draft changes on Rays players based on this information?b.Not to be outdone, the Orioles announced they would move back the left field fences (after cutting the big hole). It should benefit right-handed power.c.Back to Tampa, apparently, their new stadium deal is off – again. I have no idea what this means, but a potential move out of the Tampa/St. Pete area is back on the table.2.Wander Franco got into more trouble. I’m no attorney, but those holding Franco in Dynasty Leagues…it’s pass time to give up on him. It would take a miracle to see him play in MLB again.3.Award Predictionsa.AL ROY – Colton Cowser, Luis Gil, and Austin Wellsb.NL ROY – Jackson Chourio, Paul Skenes, and Jackson Merrillc.AL CY Young – Emmanuel Clase, Seth Lugo, and Tarik Skubald.NL CY Young – Chris Sa
