In today's episode, trading strategies for fantasy baseball take center stage, focusing on pitchers and hitters. Logan Gilbert of the Seattle Mariners is highlighted for his potential despite recent struggles, while Zack Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks is suggested as a trade target after a strong performance against the San Francisco Giants and the Padres. Chase Burns, a promising prospect, also makes the cut, along with Jackson Holliday, who is experiencing a hot streak. The discussion wraps up with a look at Marcelo Ozuna's struggles, hinting at potential for a second-half resurgence.

Veteran pitchers like Zac Gallen and Luis Castillo are causing concern among fantasy baseball owners. Gallen has struggled with a 6.62 ERA in the last month and a 5.75 ERA for the season, leading to calls for his removal from rosters. Despite a drop in performance, Castillo's historical value suggests he might still be worth holding onto, especially if he can turn it around post-All-Star break. Other notable mentions include Camilo Doval, who's showing inconsistent form but has upside, and Kenley Jansen, whose save opportunities remain intact despite high ERA numbers.

Roman Anthony, a top prospect, is still worth holding onto due to his potential, while Corey Seager’s underlying metrics indicate he might rebound soon, making him a buy-low candidate. The episode emphasizes the importance of trading struggling players if possible, and being cautious with roster decisions as the season progresses.

Shane Baz’s recent performance has raised concerns among fantasy baseball enthusiasts. After a rocky outing against the Royals, where he allowed seven runs in just over five innings, questions arise about his consistency. His previous strong start against the Red Sox led to high expectations, but recent outings have pushed him out of the top 20 in rankings. Despite this, Baz's potential remains intriguing, as three of his six starts have been impressive. The discussion also touches on how his secondary pitches have faltered, particularly the lack of strikeouts with his curveball, indicating room for improvement.

The podcast also covers other notable performances, including Tanner Houck's strong outing against the Blue Jays and Zack Gallen’s resurgent start against the Mets. Gallen’s consistency remains a topic of interest, especially as he continues to navigate a difficult season. Fantasy managers are advised to consider these players carefully as they approach the ongoing season’s challenges.
