Thought Helsley would do a bit better than that contract-wise, but that’s a great landing spot for fantasy. Happy to have landed shares in my early DCs.

Still merely in finger-crossing mode with Walker, but he's putting in the work this offseason after being not-so-subtly challenged during the season.

👍on the first big Chaim move, and good for ownership kicking in $ to get a better return. Clarke is an ace if everything works out, but he could also be a reliever. Fitts is solid and should go right into the rotation.

Grayson Rodriguez said he didn't go through a pre-trade physical assessment from the Angels. The deal happened as-is. But Rodriguez said he is ready for spring training

The Braves probably still add another shortstop, but if not, perhaps Antoan Richardson can work some magic with Dubon. Dubon has pretty good speed and was a base stealer in the minors, but it's never translated in the majors. He's at least more interesting in DCs now.
