The 2022 MLB Trade Deadline certainly didn’t disappoint fans and fantasy managers alike, providing a big trade last weekend (Luis Castillo to Seattle), a major swap on Monday [{ "selector": ".xpqcr-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

The Padres stole the headlines on deadline day, trading away some of their best prospects in order to acquire Soto and Bell.

San Diego should have one of baseball’s most productive lineups down the stretch, which bodes well for the fantasy value of their new acquisitions.

There is no sugarcoating the fact that the Nationals lineup is now among the worst in baseball.

This is a team that should be at the top of the list for streaming opposing starters down the stretch. [{ "selector": ".sqgiz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "1500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]

One other acquisition — Luke Voit — gets a boost in value, as he should play regularly and hit out of the cleanup spot. I could see Voit being a streamer option in 12-team leagues.
