Fantasy Baseball Live! – July 12, 2026Segments 1 and 2 – Review game of the WeekendAdditional Topic/Questions:1.Konnor Griffin is out with a torn tendon in his ring finger. Total bummer as he just got back from the IL and was playing well.a.In response, the Pirates, believe it or not made a quick trade – acquiring Jacob Gonzalez from the White Sox for the 34th slot in yesterday’s draft. They also received RHP Brandon Eisert.i.Any interest in Gonzalez?ii.Eisert pitched yesterday but I didn’t see a box score for Gonzalez.2.Vlad hit a home run – No. 6!3.Edwin Diaz went on a rehab on Saturday and should be back shortly after the All Star break.4.Zack Wheeler got pissed that he wasn’t originally named as an All Star and when he was announced he was a replacement, he told MLB to go pound sand.a.Were you embarrassed by the action of Wheeler or kind of proud that he pushed back?b.Justin Wrobleski was added. I always liked that guy and I’m happy for his success. Of course, I don’t have him on any league. As a PSA, his xERA is 1.5 runs higher than his ERA at 4.10. Be careful everyone.5.I’ve been buried working on the Top 500 and now draft stuff and haven’t paid much attention to the day-to-day of MLB, but I had the Pirates game on yesterday, and Esmerlyn Valdez hit his 10th home run in just 100 plate appearances. WOW, that was fast!6.Kyle Harrison hits the IL. Any thoughts on who gets his starts?Segment 3 – Waiver WireSegment 4 – Closer Report
