With the trade deadline rapidly approaching and a seemingly aggressive market for both buyers and sellers, it does seem likely that we see more deals than usual 2 weeks from now. There was already two major move related to this list, that being the Nationals finally bolstering their bullpen by acquiring both Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson. They still need one more option, preferably a legitimate closer candidate and with more than half of this list being mentioned in potential trade talks, they should be able to find one. The other deal happened late last night with the Yankees adding David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle from the White Sox for a package of prospects. Even with those 4 moving, Anthony Swarzak would be my top add this week for save needy fantasy owners.
TIER 1: Nothing Compares 2 U
1. Kenley Jansen (Los Angeles Dodgers)—Pedro Baez, Sergio Romo
2. Craig Kimbrel (Boston Red Sox)—Matt Barnes, Heath Hembree
3. Roberto Osuna (Toronto Blue Jays)—Ryan Tepera, Danny Barnes
Will Clippard or Swarzak be closing for the sox?
It should be Swarzak given how terrible Clippard had been this season.
Well it looks like the White Sox will go with Clippard for some reason. It’s tough to recommend him as an option going forward outside of the deepest of leagues.
Is your Disabled List ranked in any way?
If it is, I would expect Glover to fall at least behind Harris.
Yea good call. That’s where he should be.
