The Major League Baseball trade deadline isn't until July 31, but teams are already making moves that impact fantasy owners. The Toronto Blue Jays traded starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to the New York Mets, and he immediately gets a boost in value due to switching leagues and not having to worry about a designated hitter. Also, he no longer has to face the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays on a consistent basis.
The Miami Marlins traded closer Sergio Romo to the Minnesota Twins, which crushes his fantasy value as he will no longer be in a role to save games consistently. These are the moves we have to worry about as fantasy owners and adjust accordingly.
