It's Hot Stove Season and the Dynasty Diamond boys are back to talk all things strategy this week, particularly with head-to-head dynasty points leagues. We discuss some offseason trade hacks for your dynasty league, some strategies for drafting and building a winning roster construction philosophy, and some how to approach taking over a team in a dynasty league that you didn't draft. It can be a challenge to enter into an established dynasty league be competitive right away, especially if the team you inherit left the cupboard bare. Pat and Hollis have experience doing that and being successful in short time, so they have some tips and approaches to offer fantasy managers in similar positions.

This was a fun episode with lots of strategy talk. While we all wait for the MLB and MLBPA to come to an agreement, take an hour out of your day to listen to us and dream about the 2022 fantasy season.

It's finally that time when some of the prospects we've been waiting on will likely be called up to the majors to make their debuts. This week, players can come up and teams can keep an extra year of control over them. Which players are we most excited to see make their debuts?

We also react to the good and bad players that have caught our eye early on this season and give our overreactions to some other performances. We also talk about some roster construction strategies, how to balance the amount of prospects you stash vs. players you can use immediately.

Houston Astros pitcher Framber Valdez's broken finger is the first significant injury to a fantasy relevant player of the Spring, so we discuss the ripple effects of that along with some other notable news from Spring Training.

We also discussed the flurry of trades of in our dynasty league a couple weeks ago, the drama that ensued from one of them, and why vetoing trades is dumb. We also discussed one of the biggest fantasy trades in our league's history — just a massive trade — and we discuss how to know when to trade a player like Mike Trout in a dynasty league.

We finished the conversation off with a draft of fictional baseball players.

Cue the music, we are back, baby! After a year away due to COVID-19 and a weird season, we — Cole and Ryan — are back to talk all things dynasty fantasy baseball. This week we're joined by Andy Hollis and the newest (old) member of our league, Pat Hickey. Cole and Andy pulled off a blockbuster three-team trade this week to get the stove steaming, so we break down how that trade came about and who we think won. Pat shows off his fantasy football championship belt. We also discuss some breakout candidates, discuss some the upcoming season and the new division dynamics, and give some live reaction to Andrew Benintendi being traded to Kansas City.

So many trades! It looked like it might be a dud of a Trade Deadline, but a flurry of deals at the last minute caused a lot of impact fantasy players to move teams. We discuss the bigger trades and try to figure out how in the world the Astros are as good as they are. Ryan also shares a trade he turned down earlier this year that he wishes he would've accepted. Got a fantasy baseball trade regret as well, or just want our take on something? Email us at [email protected], or tweet us @DDBaseballPod.

It's MLB Trade Deadline Week! Marcus Stroman was the first big chip to fall. Cole, Ryan, and Evan discuss the big Stroman deal and how it impacts his fantasy stock. We talk Bo Bichette's big debut and what to expect from him going forward this season. We also discuss ESPN's Dynasty Rankings — who's ranked where and who is mistakenly left off the list. Also included: News & Notes, Fleaflicker's Most Added/Dropped/Traded, and a Grade the Trade with some trades from our league over the past week. Happy Trade Deadline Week, everyone!

Cole and Ryan discuss the shortened Week 15 format, some guys who have been targets of trade rumors, Tyler O'Neill's dynasty value, and Fleaflicker's Most Added and Most Dropped lists, and some players who might be facing innings limits down the stretch and how to navigate that if you're relying on them to win your league.
