And today we're talking about players to buy and sell on the trade wins all over,

blowing across all of your leagues. So we got some names for you today. Obviously, make sure we

below. That way, you make sure you stay ahead of everyone else in your leagues. Welsh, I'm going to start with one of those enforce buys, right? I'm just enforcing good players to buy on who are off to bad starts. We know Catelle Marte is a guy we've talked about before. We've talked about a couple other big names, but the next one I'm going to talk about is Trey Turner, who's never been, as you know,

0:55.7

one of my all-time favorite players. I don't play in as many roto formats as some other people. I'm more of a points league fella. But I think at a certain point you have to look at it. And although he's 32 years old, I think Trey Turner is a better player than he showed you so far in 2026. He's having a bad start to the year.

1:11.3

There's no doubt about it. Now, the good news is he's still on pace for a 1521 season, and that's still valuable. He's hitting just 235, by far, the lowest batting average of his career. This is a guy who's usually around the 300 mark, and he's had some stretches in his career before where he has had some long slums. So this is not absurd to think about.

1:29.1

We've seen this happen with Trey Turner before a couple times of Philadelphia, and everyone clapped their way out of it, so maybe a couple standing ovations for him. We'll do the trick. All I know is Trey Turner is better than what he's shown so far. And if you start to look at the expected batting average, I get it. It's kind of where his batting average is. If you look at some of the other metrics, it's kind of ice cold. I just think we got to dial back one more year

1:48.9

to 2025 where this was a guy who's expected batting average was at 270. And I think that's probably

1:53.3

more likely where he ends up by the end of the year, which means at some point there will be a hot

1:57.0

streak in there. Do I think Trey Turner is maybe on the downside of his career in his 30s? Maybe because of the style of play that he has. I think he was always going to be one of these

2:04.3

guys that probably when he hit his early 30s would start to tail off. So we're seeing that. But regardless, I think Trey Turner's value is at his lowest, which means I price and force and I want to buy that value for the rest of the season on a good Philly's team where he's still going to

2:17.5

score a bunch of runs and I think his spot in the lineup is still very, very safe.

2:21.4

Well, And I want to buy that value for the rest of the season on a good Philly's team where he's still going to score a bunch of runs.

2:18.4

And I think his spot in the lineup is still very, very safe.
