The MLB Trade Deadline is one of the most exciting parts of the baseball season. Contenders get to bolster their rosters for the playoff push while rebuilding clubs get to add potential studs to their growing farm system. With players such Manny Machado, Zach Britton, Mike Moustakas and many others already moved, teams around the league have kicked the trade deadline off early. While the deadline is used as an opportunity for clubs to improve their team in the present and future, it could hav[...]

The Chicago Cubs have talked to the Baltimore Orioles regarding starting pitchers Dylan Bundy and Kevin Gausman, as well as closer Zach Britton, according to sources. As of Monday night, the Cubs didn't seem as engaged on Britton as other clubs. Bundy and Gausman haven't been that great for the O's or fantasy owners, but they under club control for a few seasons, so they won't come cheap. The Cubs would rather bolster their bullpen, but with Yu Darvish coming along slowly, Bundy and/or Gausman c[...]

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman fell to 4-8 in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. Gausman allowed five runs on three hits (including a home run) and three walks with two strikeouts in 4 2/3 innings. The 27-year-old now has a 4.54 ERA with 97 strikeouts and 27 walks in 112 1/3 IP. He will next face the Rays at home on Saturday.

The Atlanta Braves have shown interest in Baltimore Orioles second baseman Jonathan Schoop and starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy. Getting out of Baltimore would be the best thing for the fantasy values of all three players. Schoop has been very disappointing after being an All-Star in 2017, and Gasuman and Bundy have been wildly inconsistent. Moving out of hitter-friendly Camden Yards to a more neutral stadium in Atlanta couldn't hurt Gausman or Bundy.

The New York Yankees have checked in on Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman as they seek upgrades to their rotation. Gausman has a 4.33 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 7.8 K/9 over 19 starts this year for the last-place Orioles, and he's been a headache for his fantasy owners. Having a much better offense backing him in New York would be appealing, but his fantasy value wouldn't change all that much moving to hitter-friendly New York.

The Milwaukee Brewers have asked about Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Kevin Gausman and second baseman Jonathan Schoop, according to sources. The Brewers are looking to add as they chase a division title. Both Gausman and Schoop have been disappointing for fantasy owners this year, but they'd both gain fantasy value moving to a contending club at the deadline.

The Colorado Rockies have been scouting Baltimore Orioles starting pitchers Kevin Gausman and Dylan Bundy, according to sources. The Rockies have had longstanding interest in Gausman, who is a native of Colorado. Colorado is chasing both a division title and wild-card spot in a close National League [...]

When the All-Star break ends and the regular season resumes, the fantasy baseball weekly schedule needs to adjust, causing confusion between head-to-head and roto leagues when it comes to labeling articles. For example, last Saturday we posted our Week 16 Two-Start Pitchers piece. Now, if you're in a H2H league, your Week 16 matchup started on Thursday and will end on July 29th. If you're in a roto/points league, where you change your lineup once a week, you still ope[...]
