Marlins FF +200 is a borderline play. I'd need a few cents better though.

I really tried to make Jays a no-play today. I tried a different approach using a different weighting for pitching and a different WAR base data, but Jays were even more of a play. They just keep underperforming. I'm completely baffled.

It’s the Jays

Tim Anderson and his -1.2 WAR in 3 months of baseball was DFA'd today by the Marlins.

He's going to be paid $5,000,000 for that -1.2 WAR.
 
I still have him as part of the team. Removing him actually reduces the edge on the Red Sox a bit. Not significantly though since his full-season projected WAR is -0.6.
 
Ya. He gone. He's been useless all year. They'll rightfully give the playing time to Xavier Edwards I assume.

Anderson managed to have zero XBH's and zero walks in the month of June.
