Fantasy Baseball: Trade Advice

by zatchj62 on Apr 6, 2025 11:26 PM EDT

I'm in a 12 team keeper league. It is a H2H, ESPN standard auction. I've been offered Shaun Marcum and Asdrubal Cabrera for Madison Bumgarner and Mark Trumbo. I'd normally accept, but Bumgarner is only $8 and it has me hesitating to give him up. I'm obviously competing for this year but I don't want to blow my chances in upcoming years by giving up a possible elite pitcher. Thoughts?

I would go Bum here. I think you are giving up a top-tier pitcher.

In return you get what I believe to be a breaking down pitcher and a SS who had a big year last year. He could or could not repeat again. Stick with Bum.

Stacked SP

I have a surplus of starting pitching, though. It’s H2H so quality SP isn’t quite as valuable, either. I can win Ks, Ws almost everytime along with a good ERA and WHIP. Currently my SP is Hamels, Greinke, Bumgarner, Scherzer, Hellickson, Anibal Sanchez, Morrow, Lewis, Derek Holland.
