I will begin at the top of hour. In the meantime, please follow me on all my social media’s (twitter, tiktok, facebook, youtube, bluesky, and instagram) at JustinMasonFWFB! I am doing regular podcasts on the FWFB podcast as well as three episodes a week for the Sleeper and the Bust so definitely make sure you are subscribed there as well!

Rostering Tanner Scott in a saves only league, is it worth hanging on to Kirby Yates too? My other relievers are Palencia, Romano and R Garcia
Justin Mason
12:00
Probably not. I think Scott's job is safe and no guarantee that Yates would take the job all on his own even if Scott lost his job.

Pivetta outlook? Stats were rough, just a big blip, or something more serious?
Justin Mason
12:02
I think Pivetta is good as long as he is healthy. He will definitely regress a little, but I am not expecting the floor to fall out from under him.

How do you deal with teams not giving any feedback in trades? I'm in an Ottoneu league with randos, of my last 4 trade offers, no comment, no comment, "i'll pass for now" and "X player is not available". No: not looking to trade now, I can move this player but I'd need more, these aren't positions of need for me, etc. I'm kinda just frustrated and giving up, as I don't want to just keep peppering offers at people that are just rejecting with no feedback. I make it a strong policy of mine to never decline a trade without feedback.

It's really hard to deal with this when you are in a public league with people you don't know. Often I will ask to exchange emails with the person to have a further dialog. If they are unwilling to do that, there isn't much you can do other than continue to add your own dialog and hope they reciprocate.

Thx for taking the question.  How long to be patient in a 10 team NL only?
Justin Mason
12:05
Underlying numbers are much better than the surface ones. I am sticking with him.
Kyle
12:05
Still have optimism for McLain ROS?
Justin Mason
12:06
I do. BABIP is extremely low and he is still making league average z-contact, hitting hard like he did in 2023, and walking at a 10% rate. I think he will turn it around.
RAGBRAI

Quite a few teams have unsettled bullpens. Is it more than normal? Seems like fewer solid closers anymore.
Justin Mason
12:07
It definitely feels like a bad year for closers, but it's not extremely out of the ordinary. This is the most volatile position in fantasy baseball.
Hey Abbott
12:07
Rank these starters ROS in a 12-team 5x5 roto league? Abbott, Peterson, Liberatore, Ober, Baz, May
Justin Mason
12:08
Ober, May, Liberatore, Abbott, Baz, Peterson

12T, mixed...drop Jung and/or Happ for any of Mauricio, Anthony, Kurtz, Meadows, CES?
On the SP side, drop Boyd for Abel?
Justin Mason
12:09
I would not drop Boyd for Abel. I would drop Happ for Kurtz or CES

14tm, redraft, h2h 6x6 was offered Chourio for Caminero ? I know the answer is yes but some of Chourio’s underlying #s scare me, Burger would take over at 3B if I agree or can continue with a Ward/Doyle combo as my 3rd OF
Justin Mason
12:11
I would take this, but I understand the fear around Chourio's o-swing and lack of walks especially if the sixth cat is OBP. I do expect things to improve for him there, but he is never going to be a high walk rate guy.
Matt
12:12
You giving up on Adames yet?
Justin Mason
12:12
In shallower formats, yes
Rookie
12:13
Am I going to regret trading Jacob Wilson for Walker Jenkins in a dynasty that counts hits, avg, and ops?
Justin Mason
12:13
Yes, you will
Matt
12:13
Weekly lineups, 12 team roto, need to pick 2 of Flaherty (CIN), Webb (@LAD), Sugano (LAA), S Gray (@MIL)
Justin Mason
12:14
Webb and Gray
Too many OFers
12:14
Trying to trade an OF for a SP. 13tm std roto
Trying to trade one of Langford, Greene, Suzuki. Who would be a good SP target? Cristopher Sanchez? Luzardo?
Justin Mason
12:14
I would do Greene for Sanchez
RAGBRAI
12:15
I don’t want to get political but what is more costly, Trump’s military parade or the salary of the Dodger’s pitchers on the IL?
Justin Mason
12:15
Not touching that one with a 10 foot pole
Point awarded though!
Anvay
12:15
10 team head to head. IPs and Ks are worth the most. I was offered Mahle and Eflin for Pfaadt and Bryce Miller. Should I do it?
Justin Mason
12:16
I think I would pass, but I recommend running your point system through the auction calculator with ROS projections
Sam
12:16
Who do you think the best young infield bat I could get back for Taj Bradley is? Is CES worth getting?
Justin Mason
12:16
If you could get CES back, that would be amazing
Max Fried Rice
12:16
What feels like a fair offer for Fried in an OBP roto league? I'm considering sending over a Riley Greene + Masyn Winn combo for Fried and Jung Ho Lee
Justin Mason
12:16
I would do this in a heartbeat
BP
12:16
General complaint, but why do managers always bench my players on Mondays and Thursdays when it’s already a light schedule!!
Justin Mason
12:17
They hate us

How was everybody so universally wrong about Roki Sasaki? He was a mega-rare 65-grade prospect on this website and if not for two homers that Andy Pages kept in the ballpark defensively, he would have an ERA of about 6.00. He's got two pitches and labors to throw either for strikes. His velocity was nowhere near what was advertised.
Justin Mason
12:18
As a person who was lower on Sasaki than the industry, I would say that as a whole the industry gets star struck by new talent. We see this all the time when players enter the league for the first time whether it be international guys or rookies. These guys are often overrated but we forget the misses and remember too much of the wins.
