Yesterday, J.D. Martinez was traded to the Diamondbacks for Dawel Lugo, Sergio Alcantara and Jose King, a package that has been described by me as a .280, 40-homer hitter for Okay, Who Cares and So What. My visions of Yasmany Tomas returning and helping my NL-Only team went from "Hello, what's your name, Pamela Sue?" to "No, my name is Pamela and I'm suing you for sexual harassment." The ol' 180 in the pants. Well, I'll save the rest of my moans and/or groans for my shrink, since this is great news for Just Dong. That should be a 90 degree turn in the pants for Just Dong owners. Has he ever hit in Chase Field? Doesn't matter, he's about to love it. Outside of Coors and Miller, there's no place I'd rather my player move for hitting and between-inning dips in a hot tub. (The Coors and Miller hot tubs are gnarly, by the way. "Did you say swell?" "No, I said swill.") For FAAB, I'd go aggressively after Just Dong like he was the last guy to move to the NL, even if he might not be. He's a 35-homer guy in Comerica. In Chase, he could be the equivalent to a 45-homer guy over the final ten weeks. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
