12-team NL-only 5x5 (OBP) keeper league
Team was rolling in April, but the injuries to Freeman and Pollock combined with Thames's return to earth have me middle of the pack. While some of the top teams have already made their big deals, I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting to see if I should buy or sell.
Right now I have the following deals on the table:
Dansby Swanson ($11/1 year left on contract) and Jesse Winker ($3/2) (players I would give)
for
Bumgarner, Rich Hill (or Kyle Hendricks), Cozart, Addison Russell, and Eric Sogard (none keepable)
Travis Shaw ($21/2) and Brandon McCarthy ($1/1) (players I would give)
for
Manuel Margot ($2/2)
It being an OBP league I've always been a big fan of Winker, but even if I fall further out of contention I feel like I could sell the players I'm getting for a better prospect in July. While Shaw and McCarthy would probably keepers, Margot could be an extension candidate (we can extend 2+ years at $5 per year going into their 3rd year).
Does this make sense as a means of both going for it and sorta dumping? If Freeman, Pollock, and Bumgarner come back strong I could make quite the run in August/September but either way I don't think I'm losing much keeper-wise.
