Tyler Mahle: Could be the most significant as Mahle's bugaboo is homers and Target Field crushes power. Juan Soto and Josh Bell: Park downgrade but big team context upgrade. Noah Syndergaard: Another lateral switch. Jordan Montgomery and Jose Quintana: Both lateral moves, which may be surprising for opposite reasons.
#DIDI GAMES FARM FRENZY UPGRADE#
Luis Castillo: Nice upgrade from The Great American Ballpark to T-Mobile Park. Here are my quick takes on some of the major movers.įrankie Montas: Downgrade, but not as much as many perceive going from Oakland to the Bronx. One of the things many do after the trade deadline is determine how the new venue will affect the traded player. If you followed my work, you know I'm a big park factor wonk. I'd rather keep my roster as strong as possible than take my chances at the deadline. Personally, I'm still going to be liberal with my early budget. Lately, the trend has been not to, instead spending early and often. Pay Me Now or Pay Me LaterĪdmittedly, those playing in AL or NL only leagues are dwindling, but I had someone ask me if the craziness of the last two deadlines should have single-league managers revert to the old -school approach by hoarding FAAB for the deadline. Before reviewing Thursday's action, here are a couple of general thoughts about the recent frenzy. What I decided to do instead is weave my own reactions into today's Box Score Blitz section as well as another posting over the weekend. However, Jeff Erickson crushed it with Tuesday's podcast with Fred Zinkie as well as his American League reactions and Clay Link's staff had everything updated on site in lightning-like fashion.

Unfortunately, I was unable to offer my trade takes in a timely manner. However, I overlooked my filling in for friend and colleague Tristan Cockcroft at ESPN this week, specifically handling daily updates to The Forecaster, along with preparing next week's version. Last weekend, I was figuring out what I wanted to write this week and decided on a couple of Todd's Takes centered around my spin on the deadline swaps.
