Hey Nick.
Would you give up both Freeland and Strahm to get Taillon in a trade or does it not offer much improvement for the cost?
I’m in a shallow 10- team standard roto using QS instead of W. Current rotation includes Buehler, Clevinger, Marquez, Flaherty, Freeland and Strahm. We have 1 P slot, 4 SP slots and 3 Bench slots total. Most in my league are carrying 5-6 SP. The FA market is limited to mostly streaming options with only Musgrove, Pivetta (scares me), Ryu and Urias in the top 50 as potential multi-start holds to replace Strahm.
