2016 Fantasy Baseball: Chicago Cubs Team Preview
Of all the 2015 playoff teams, it’s safe to say that the Chicago Cubs made the biggest improvement to their big league club this offseason. 2015 was supposed to be a year in which the Cubs graduated their minor league talent to the majors, in which they could each get
30 Prospects in 30 Days: Joey Gallo — Texas Rangers
Joey Gallo is going to be a very interesting major league player, to say the very least. There is no other player in the minor leagues that possesses the power that Joey Gallo has, but at the same time, there are very few players who come with the kind of
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Corey Dickerson Traded for Jake McGee
Perhaps the most head-scratching rumor to date this offseason has been the discussion between the Tampa Bay Rays and Colorado Rockies regarding outfielder Corey Dickerson and reliever Jake McGee. The hypothetical swap has now become a reality, as the two clubs have agreed upon the trade, per Ken Rosenthal of
30 Prospects in 30 Days: Lucas Giolito, Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals lost two starting pitchers this offseason when they decided not to retain Jordan Zimmerman, who signed with the San Francisco Giants, and Doug Fister, who is still a free agent but is unlikely to return to DC. These two pitchers were key pieces to the rotation that
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Kansas City Royals Sign Ian Kennedy
On Saturday, the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals signed free agent starting pitcher Ian Kennedy to a five-year, $70-million deal, which includes an opt out after the 2017 season. Shortly after, it seemed everyone took to Twitter to give their “hot takes” on the deal. While the contract
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Breakout Candidates — Michael Pineda
The New York Yankees have done little to nothing this offseason to improve their biggest question mark heading into the 2016 season: the starting rotation. Instead, the Yankees addressed their problem at second base by adding Starlin Castro up the middle to pair with shortstop Didi Gregorious. In addition, they added Aroldis
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Breakout Candidates — C.J. Cron
C.J. Cron has been a player that has peaked my interest since I first drafted him to one of my dynasty teams back in 2012. While he’s never done much at the major league level for him to really catch anyone’s eye, 2016 might be the first year he actually
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Rockies Sign Gerardo Parra
The Colorado Rockies made an interesting move, singing outfielder Gerardo Parra to a three-year, $27.5 million dollar contract, with a club option for the fourth year. This move is interesting because it makes Parra the fourth outfielder, which would indicate that one of Carlos Gonzalez, Charlie Blackmon, or Corey Dickerson
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Giants Sign Denard Span
The San Francisco Giants continued their offseason spending this past week, signing outfielder Denard Span to a three-year, $31 million dollar contract. Span, of course, spent much of last year on the disabled list, which is one of the reasons he’ll be earning an average of $10.3 million dollars a
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Yankees Acquire Aroldis Chapman
The New York Yankees have been uncharacteristically quiet this offseason season, though that changed quickly when they traded for the flame-throwing lefty relief pitcher, Aroldis Chapman. Soon after the trade, the Internet was set on fire for various reasons. For one, and I’ll touch on this a bit, Chapman is
