FantasyPros contributor Mike Maher comes onto today's show to exchange his thoughts on Yordan Alvarez's (1:48) expectations and discuss players you would be wise to buy or sell. How much will Dallas Keuchel (7:13) and Craig Kimbrel (10:13) help your fantasy team now that they've finally found new homes? A second-half rebound could be on its way for Jose Ramirez (11:14), but the inverse can be said for Austin Riley (28:13). It's tough to ignore Eduardo Rodriguez's (37:43) strikeout potential, even with the inflated ERA. Our hosts later play "Keep or Drop" (44:36) and dip their hands into listener mailbag (48:08).
