2016 Fantasy Baseball: Padres Sign Fernando Rodney
Two of the three last big names on the free agent reliever market went off the board on Wednesday when the San Diego Padres signed Fernando Rodney to a one-year contract and the New York Mets signed free agent lefty Antonio Bastardo to a two-year contract. Technically speaking, the Bastardo
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: Padres Sign Alexei Ramirez
One of the more fun things about the offseason is watching the game of musical chairs evolve. There are 30 starting spots at each position and when one team improves at a spot, then that guy might end up landing somewhere else. The Padres were the latest recipient of the shuffling
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

Christian Yelich has been a much better player for the Miami Marlins in his three seasons in the Majors than he has for fantasy owners. Yelich has put up 7.9 fWAR in just over two full-seasons’ worth of games (332). His wRC+ in each season? 117. His wOBA? .341, .341,
2016 Fantasy Baseball: Ben Revere Swapped for Drew Storen
The Washington Nationals and Toronto Blue Jays made a trade on Friday that flew a bit under the radar but really addressed the needs of both ball clubs. As first reported by MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the Nationals will acquire outfielder Ben Revere and a player to be named
Chicago Cubs Trade Starlin Castro to the New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have been rather quiet this offseason, though that changed quickly Tuesday afternoon when the team agreed to acquire shortstop/second baseman Starlin Castro from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for RHP Adam Warren and shortstop Brendan Ryan. Castro, who had been with the Chicago Cubs since signing
