Description

Beller and DVR welcome Cubs beat writer Sahadev Sharma and Royals beat writer Alec Lewis onto this episode of The Athletic Fantasy Baseball Podcast.
First, Sahadev joins the show to take a look at the Cubs from a fantasy perspective. Where does Patrick Wisdom fit in when the Cubs get fully healthy? Are Javy Baez's strikeout rate and Anthony Rizzo's power outage cause for concerns. And can we finally put to bed Craig Kimbrel trade rumors?
Then, Alec jumps on to discuss the Royals. Is Josh Staumont back in line for saves? Will the team be patient with Jackson Kowar at the big league level? Is Andrew Benintendi back to his 20/20 ways? Alec answers those questions, and more.
Finally, Beller and DVR wrap up by trying to find a fantasy angle to the sticky substances story. Namely, if MLB does indeed crack down, is there any way in which fantasy managers can take action?
