MLB trade deadline shakes up fantasy baseball landscape after wave of deals
But overall, this is a positive change for the 29-year-old’s fantasy value. True to form, the 33-year-old has an unimpressive .643 OPS this year but has saved his fantasy value by swiping 15 bases. 1 catcher but is unlikely to keep the heavy workload he had in Boston and therefore loses some fantasy value from this trade. Thor has been mostly a league-average pitcher in fantasy leagues during recent seasons, posting respectable ratios and a poor strikeout rate this year. For this reason, I see this trade as a slight downturn in Syndergaard's fantasy value.
