🎯 Free Agent Hunt — Hitters

Best available hitters ≤40% owned, two views: top 10 by season xwOBA + top 10 hot hitters (last 7d, min 9 PA). Both ranked by the Add? composite (pos need 15% + recent 40% + underlying 40% + cat need 15%). Chase / Whiff are Baseball Savant percentile ranks (higher = better swing decisions). Quality = full Statcast composite z (xwOBA + barrel% + EV + sweet-spot).

Save Targets — from Closer Chart

Top 5 un-owned closers (by team rating):

  • Enyel De Los Santos (Houston Astros · Closer (highest leverage)) BLUE
    Rating 3.0 · Own 3.0%
    As the first reliever in, Steven Okert retired the side at the top of the sixth.
  • Cole Sands (Minnesota Twins · Closer (highest leverage)) BLUE
    Rating 2.0 · Own 1.2%
    Taking over at the bottom of the seventh, Taylor Rogers gave up two hits, three earned runs, and a walk without retiring a batter.
  • Phil Maton (Chicago Cubs · Closer (highest leverage)) · ? BLUE
    Rating 2.0 · Own 0.8%
    With the leverage thinned, Corbin Martin answered the call, securing his first save of the season and third of his career, retiring the side and striking out one at the bottom of the ninth versus the Dodgers’ 5-6-7 hitters.

🌱 Green-tagged FAs (upside reliever / stash):

  • Sam Bachman (Los Angeles Angels · Stopper (unless fluid)) GREEN
    Rating 3.0 · Own —
    Getting in work during a lopsided loss, Jordan Romano allowed three hits, four earned runs, and a walk during two-thirds of the eighth. We will always have those first two weeks, but he has not recorded a save since April 6.
  • Antonio Senzatela (Colorado Rockies · Stopper (unless fluid)) GREEN
    Rating 3.5 · Own 5.1%
    Called upon with two runners on and one out at the bottom of the eighth, Antonio Senzatela stranded both, benefiting from an inning-ending lineout by Mark Vientos.
  • Luke Weaver (New York Mets · Stopper (unless fluid)) GREEN
    Rating 4.0 · Own 5.0%
    Putting an end to a strange night at Citi Field, Devin Williams started his entry for the ninth inning, but his teammate, Huascar Brazobán, had to face one more batter, delaying the show.

📜 Trade History (League)

Completed trades, newest first. Each side gets two grades — At trade (frozen, computed once) and Current (live, re-graded each refresh) — plus a keeper/win-now lean tag. Trade value blends ownership, Statcast quality, position scarcity, injury status, and a keeper-retention premium for low-owned breakouts.

🔒 2027 Keeper Slate (top 8)

Expert-weighted: combines cost surplus (cheap keep vs. market round) with Statcast quality (xwOBA / xERA z-score), small position-scarcity nudge for C/SS, and Mookie-lock penalty. A great keeper is cheap AND elite. RPs excluded — too volatile to lock up a keeper slot. UFDA cap caps first-year UFDA keeps at 3.
