You're selling him at the absolute lowest point his value has been since , at least, at a time when his struggles amid the crackdown on foreign substances have been one of the most talked about topics in baseball. Unless Cole has a 5. Even if you think Cole doesn't have it, trading him coming off his two worst starts of the season is the wrong move. Because before those two starts, he allowed six runs over 21 innings and looked like he was, if not all the way back, at least still pitching well.
He's going to have a start or two where he looks like himself and, if you really want to trade him, that's the time to do it. And you shouldn't do it for anything less than one of the other pitchers in his tier: Scherzer, Darvish, Woodruff, etc.
The problem is, if you're trying to trade for him, it's going to be tough to bring yourself to give up that much. And you shouldn't! Just like this is the wrong time for someone who has Cole to try to trade him, this is the perfect time to try to trade for him. But you have to make sure you're buying low. An Aaron Nola or Lance Lynn would be a good option if you could pull it off.
Just hope whoever has him isn't reading this column! Ultimately, the point is that you want Cole on your team for the second half. Maybe it won't work out; maybe he really doesn't have it, and he isn't going to figure out how to find it. That would stink. Ian Kennedy RP. Being signed just for this year, Ian Kennedy is an even surer bet to go than Rodriguez, and his move out of the closer role would be more of a certainty as well.
He got the job just because the Rangers had nobody else to fill it and has handled it surprisingly well, but he doesn't have shutdown stuff, really, and is vulnerable to the long ball. What makes his case especially unfortunate is that there's no heir apparent in Texas, making a Orioles-style committee of nobodies the likely result of his departure.
Newly minted setup man Spencer Patton might have a shot to grab the role, though. Jesus Aguilar 1B. Of Jesus Aguilar's 17 home runs this year, you know how many have come at home? That's not unusual for the sluggers who've passed through Miami since loanDepot Park opened. Christian Yelich's and J. Realmuto's splits were always dreadful there, too, which was a big reason why we liked Yelich so much for a breakout when he went to Milwaukee.
What if Aguilar joins him there, as has been rumored? Hey, we already have some idea how it would play out. Starling Marte CF. Starling Marte, on the other hand, has ranked among the very best at his position before and certainly could again with the right landing spot.
He has actually fared well enough at loanDepot Park, having always had good success on balls in play, but we know he's capable of hitting for more power. A smaller venue would only help in that regard. Plus, his batting average-first profile is the sort that shines brightest with a strong supporting cast. Jose Berrios SP. Jose Berrios has been a quality starting pitcher basically from his first full year in the majors, but there have always been those who swear he should be better than he is and those who swear he should be worse.

Whether it be on the phone, through text, or DMs, deals come together much easier than blind offers back and forth.
I cannot stress enough how important communication is when making a trade. If you picked up and flipped Yermin Mercedes early in the season, you could have gotten a great return on investment. Meanwhile, if you bought low on Kyle Tucker early on, you are looking really good right now. Fantasy Baseball trading success has a lot to do with buying and selling at the proper time.
Buying and selling at the appropriate time is a huge part of playing Fantasy Baseball. It is almost as if you are playing the stock market. You can make a serious return on your investment if you buy a player at their lowest value. It would be best if you also cashed out on a clear sell high candidate when the price is right. Figuring out when those times are, however, is the million-dollar question.
This is a huge one for me. I cannot stand getting a terrible offer that clearly someone has no interest in negotiating. The problem is they offer me the three worst players on their roster.
It was instant reject after instant rejects for me until I have just gotten fed up with it. I have begun countering with their 5 best players for my worst. Maybe they will take the hint. It is not hard to send a respectable offer, even if the first offer is not your best.
