Description
DVR and Al explore options for upgrading fantasy rotations despite a thin group of potential streamers. They also run through the hitting options likely to be found on waivers, even if Mariners outfield phenom Jarred Kelenic is already claimed in your leagues. Included in the discussion are Cardinals to consider despite a short schedule – namely, Tyler O’Neill and Harrison Bader – a bevy of Nationals with a favorable schedule and potential Dodger fill-ins.

Early Draft Toss-Ups: It's debate time on The Athletic's Fantasy Baseball Podcast. Put yourself on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick. Do you take Ronald Acuña, Mike Trout or Christian Yelich.

Derek VanRiper, Michael Beller and Chris Meaney break down those, and more, on this episode. by The Athletic Fantasy Baseball Podcast
