Welcome to Fantasy Feud, a pictureless baseball podcast where we're tackling the most relevant debates in fantasy baseball league week.

I'm Sarah Sanchez, and I'm here with my co-host, Shelley Verstrait, to talk through both sides of the hottest fantasy baseball debates right now with some of the greatest minds in the industry.

It is the last week of August, and where did the season go? While half of your league is transitioning to fantasy football, some of our friends in the industry who are all baseball all the time are already looking ahead to next year's draft.

And we have one of those

brave souls on today to for some draft debates in august what could possibly go wrong how are you
