2089 - Waiver Wire - July 16,2023

Fantasy Baseball Notes – July 16, 2023 @ 3 pmSegments 1 and 2 – Weekend gamesAdditional Notes:1.The A’s finally did something as they promoted Zack Gelof and Tyler Soderstrom. Both are Top 100 prospects for me, with Soderstrom having a chance to be an all-star caliber player. a.Esteury Ruiz has reportedly started hitting off a tee. Good news.b.As a side note. The A’s had the sixth pick in the draft and went with Justin Wilson whose father played in the big leagues primarily for the Pirates. He never strikes out but with no power and modest speed. You have one of the deepest drafts in years, and this is the direction you go. The hope is that you are drafting the unicorn known as Luis Arraez, but lightning rarely strikes twice. What are your thoughts on what the A’s are doing? 2.Many more rumors about the Angels willing to trade Ohtani. However, how will his finger issue affect his trade value? Your thoughts?3.Justin Verlander or Sandy Alcantara – Who do you want to rest of the season?a.Do you think a change of scenery would help Verlander or is he just not yet in synch because of an early season stint on the IL?4.As a Trea Turner owner, I’m not happy. Should I consider sitting him?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer ReportClose
