Fantasy Baseball Waivers: Pilfering the Pirates, Tigers and Athletics for versatile adds

The Tigers, Pirates and A’s might not seem like the most obvious rosters to search for fantasy help, but the stats don’t lie

There’s nothing more valuable in fantasy baseball than versatility.

If a guy can play in the outfield, middle infield and tackle either first or third base on a rare day, it’s impossible to pass up that potential. As we get further into the season, these types of super utility guys don’t stay available for long on the waiver wires.

This week we’ll dive into a few key pick-ups you should target as some hot starts to the year begin looking more and more sustainable.

We’ve also got two starting pitching options worth adding immediately. Here are five waiver adds to target right now.

Eduardo Rodriguez mocked Carlos Correa’s watch taunt and infuriated his own manager Alex Cora

Was it the right time to taunt?

There are times to fire up your team with some well-timed trash talks, taunts or celebrations.

But I’d venture to say blowing out a really good team in a playoff game may actually NOT be a time to do so.

That’s the situation from Game 3. In the sixth inning of the 2021 ALCS, Eduardo Rodriguez got Carlos Correa to ground out with the Boston Red Sox up 9-3. The pitcher pointed to his wrist like a watch, a direct reference to the move Correa made when the Houston Astros shortstop hit a monster home run in Game 1.

Sox manager Alex Cora was NOT pleased. Let’s break it all down, from the moment to the reaction:

The Red Sox come into game one with a ton of momentum after knocking off the Yankees in the AL Wild Card and are ready to prove themselves against the top team in baseball. As for the Rays, they have enjoyed the time off but are ready to get back to business as they look to repeat as Champions again.

This will be a fantastic game, here is everything you need to catch the action tonight.
