The MLB trade deadline is less than a week away, which means your league's deadline is also coming, if it hasn't already.
This latest Trade Chart can help you hammer out those last-minute deals. As you can see, high-end starting pitching will come at a premium given what an absence of it means for a Fantasy team in our present environment. Recent surgers include Lucas Giolito following his no-hitter Tuesday, as well as Tyler Glasnow, Jesus Luzardo and Framber Valdez.
A few guidelines:
- These values are tailored for standard CBS Head-to-Head points leagues, meaning 12 teams and 21-man rosters. The low-dollar players would be worth more in a deeper league, and the mid-dollar players would be worth less in a shallower league.
- These values are intended only for 1-for-1 and 2-for-1 trades. Get into 3-for-1 or, heaven forbid, 4-for-1, and the impending roster crunch makes it near impossible to justify giving up the superior player (unless, of course, it's an obvious overpay).
- These values are more of a rough guideline. In theory, if two players add up to more than some other player, you'll take the two over the one, but not every possible scenario has been vetted. And particularly with the lower-value players, perceptions are changing constantly. When in doubt, you'll want to stick with the better player.
