With just a day to go before the important August 31 deadline, the San Francisco Giants have traded outfielder Andrew McCutchen to the Yankees in exchange for two Minor League players, per MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. The currently disclosed player the Giants received is infielder Abiatal Avelino. The 23-year-old has posted a combined .287/.333/.446 slash line with 15 home runs, 66 RBI, and 25 stolen bases in 123 games with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/[...]

After earlier reports stated the New York Yankees were working hard to acquire outfielder Andrew McCutchen from the San Francisco Giants, sources have confirmed the deal has been agreed to. The 31-year-old former NL MVP was in the midst of his first season with the Giants, hitting .255 with 15 home runs and 55 RBI in 130 games. In McCutchen, the Yankees receive a much-needed boost to their outfielder. Still, the move raises questions about Aaron Judge's ability to return, as his comeback would[...]

The New York Yankees are trying to finalize a trade for San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen, according to sources. However, no deal is done yet. Shortstop Abiatal Avelino would be part of the return for the Giants. [...]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen, who has passed through revocable trade waivers, hasn't generated much trade interest as the deadline approaches. One American League team had some interest early, but it has been quiet in recent days. McCutchen is hitting just .254 and has 15 home runs, 54 RBI and 13 steals in 128 games for the Giants. His power numbers are noticeably down, and he may fail to reach the 20-homer mark for the first time since 2010, his second year in the big leagu[...]

It's never too late to buy or sell from the plethora of talented players available in fantasy baseball waiver pools. Instead of trading assets with other owners, you can "buy" players that have been overlooked or recently discarded on the wire. In this case, think of it as a short-term investment that comes at a low cost (you did save at least a couple bucks of FAAB for the final month, right?) Rather than trade candidates, I'll focus on players that appear to be trending up or down, but cou[...]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen will be in the Giants lineup on Thursday. McCutchen sat out on Wednesday and there was speculation that the outfielder could be dealt as he cleared waivers. It doesn't appear that McCutchen will be moved at this time and he will bat in the leadoff spot on Thursday.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the New York Mets. McCutchen is subject to multiple trade rumors, so the Giants will keep him out of the lineup on Wednesday. Gorkys Hernandez will draw the start in right field and bat eighth versus righty Noah Syndergaard. Hernandez is worth owning in NL-only leagues, but can be avoided in DFS contests on Wednesday.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can. The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when neede[...]

San Francisco Giants outfielder Andrew McCutchen is not expected to be traded at the deadline on Tuesday, according to a team official. The Yankees and Phillies have some fleeting interest, but apparently it's not enough to get a deal done by the deadline. The veteran outfielder is batting .258 with 10 home runs, 43 RBI and nine stolen bases in his first year in San Fran.

The New York Yankees are on the hunt for an outfielder, and it seems like a former National League MVP is on the radar. According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, the Yanks have "soft interest" in the San Francisco Giants' Andrew McCutchen. The Yankees have been linked to multiple outfielders since the injuries to Clint Frazier (migraines) and Aaron Judge (wrist), and McCutchen is the latest name after the Giants reportedly have fielded offers for him. The 31-year-old outfielder is hitting .258 this [...]
