2019 Fantasy Baseball: Nelson Cruz to the Twins
The Minnesota Twins sign free agent Nelson Cruz to a one-year deal worth $14.3 million.

In arguably the weakest division in baseball, where the standout Cleveland Indians are favourites
2019 Fantasy Baseball: Diamondbacks deal Paul Goldschmidt to the Cardinals
The Arizona Diamondbacks receive Carson Kelly, Luke Weaver and Andy Young from the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for Paul Goldschmidt. With the Diamondbacks losing AJ Pollock and Patrick Corbin to free agency (along with a few other lesser names), it was easy to justify trading away Goldschmidt to retool
2019 Fantasy Baseball: Trevor Cahill to the Angels
Free agent Trevor Cahill signs a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Angels worth $9 million. For the Angels, it’s the perfect deal in a sense. Ohtani won’t be pitching for them in 2019 so this can see them through the season without tying them down to anything long term.
2019 Fantasy Baseball: Charlie Morton to the Tampa Bay Rays

2019 Fantasy Baseball: Daniel Murphy to the Colorado Rockies
Free agent Daniel Murphy signs a two-year deal with the Colorado Rockies worth $24 million. The Rockies lost DJ LeMahieu to free agency this off season, so it makes sense they’d go out and get Murphy. However, it’s not likely to be a straight replacement. The belief is Murphy will
2019 Fantasy Baseball: Yasmani Grandal to the Milwaukee Brewers
The catcher carousel took an unexpected turn when the Milwaukee Brewers parted big money to sign free agent catcher Yasmani Grandal on a one-year deal worth $18.25 million. On the surface, it seems like a strange deal but digging a little deeper, it makes sense for both sides.

2018 Fantasy Baseball: Undervalued Hitters – National League
