Rest of Season Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Trade Deadline Fallout

The 2023 MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone. There was a bevy of moves made, and many superstars were dealt. For fantasy purposes, however, a star player’s value usually does not change much after a trade. Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer are going to be fantasy-relevant regardless of which uniform they put on. However, some players have seen drastic changes to their fantasy value as a result of recent trade activity. Here are some of the biggest movers in my latest ROS fantasy baseball rankings. These changes to the rankings are a direct result of some recent trades that affect their environment. My updated rankings are below.

Fantasy Baseball Trade Deadline Fallout

Andres Munoz, RP, Seattle Mariners

Count me among those who drafted Andres Munoz ahead of Paul Sewald this spring. Munoz grabbed the save on Opening Day, but the good vibes did not last long. He got hurt a week later and missed the next two months. By that point, Sewald had cemented himself as Seattle’s closer. But the Mariners dealt Sewald to the Arizona Diamondbacks last week, opening the door for Munoz. The fireballer has responded with saves in three straight appearances. His control can be an issue, as was the case on Saturday night. But Munoz has all the makings of a top-10 closer going forward. I had Munoz outside my top 200 in my last set of ROS rankings. This week, he is inside my top-150, just below Sewald. For now.

Scott Barlow, RP, San Diego Padres

It should not be a surprise that relief pitchers are featured prominently here. The position is subject to an extreme amount of volatility for fantasy purposes. In the case of Scott Barlow, his fantasy value takes a major hit with the move to San Diego. He was closing games (as often as one can, at least) for the Royals. That will not be the case with the Padres. San Diego already has Josh Hader, and Barlow is no sure bet to be next in line. I dropped Barlow about 100 spots in this week’s rankings. Speaking of dropping, you can probably do so with Barlow if your league does not value holds. I do not expect Barlow to rack up any saves for the remainder of the 2023 season.

Jean Segura, 2B/3B, Free Agent

I thought about putting A.J. Puk here, but let’s be honest – he was about to lose his job before David Robertson came into town. So I will instead mention his now former teammate, Jean Segura. Life in the Big Leagues can move pretty fast. A week ago, Segura was rounding the bases after hitting a home run to provide the Marlins with a little insurance in their victory against Detroit. Now Segura finds himself in baseball limbo. Miami traded Segura to Cleveland last week. However, the Guardians plan to release the veteran infielder. Even if he latches on somewhere, he will no longer be a regular in the lineup. Segura wasn’t exactly lighting it up when receiving regular playing time, so his fantasy value is nonexistent going forward. I barely have him ranked, and even that may be too kind at this point.
