    They Shot My Unicorn

    Have you ever heard a grown man cry about baseball for a half hour or so? That's what Trader Joe provides you right here, gorilla faithful. Learn how MLB's mob tactics with stupid sticky stuff cost us potentially the best pitcher you will ever see (or at least TJ's favorite). That's right, the. FGS #2 overall dynasty player before the season started, has bitten the bucket. We get into some details about cause/effect/strategy but mostly crying. Tune in!

    Who is Shane McNasty?

    Trader raves about Shane McClanahan’s sick stuff and tells you why you need swoop now, plus more cream of the crop from the Tampa Rays insane system of fire arms being developed by pitching coach Kyle Snyder. As frustrating as they are for fantasy, this is by far the best modern ace machine in MLB. Also the meteoric rise of Zack Wheeler (it's for real).

    Opening Week Overreactions

    Deep dive into the opening week madness with your boy Trader Joe and get in early on a few crazy rankings risers before it's too late. I call out a few pumpkins on this episode from week one to ditch before they rot on your doorstep. One of the things about week one is everyone knows the fantasy universe overreacts to performances, so players look to sell high...but sometimes those performances are harbingers of true breakouts, so you can take advantage of the overreaction theme to buy before the price gets too too high. Join ya boy for some 8D chess and some classic overreaction theater from fantasy baseball week one! Get them horses for your points leagues!

    Rising Aces from Spring Ball

    Trader has a few radically rising mound dominators from Spring ball to share with the people. Can you believe Glasnow is moving up from 8 overall in dynasty points? Good lord, this is a crazy episode, but find out why who else Trader is crazy on after the spring to get before the value explodes after opening day.
