Hidden Gems: Fantasy Baseball Players Poised for Explosive Value Surges at the MLB Trade Deadline
C.J. Kayfus – 1B/OF, Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians are not guaranteed to be sellers at the deadline, but it feels like they could at least move on from Carlos Santana, who is a free agent at the end of this season. That would open up at-bats for Kayfus, who has also been taking reps in right field as well while playing at Triple-A. The 2023 third-round pick is hitting .285/.367/.537 with 13 home runs and two steals at Triple-A Columbus this season. His 13% swinging strike rate is a bit elevated for a player without elite power, so it’s unclear what kind of impact he will have immediately after being called up, but he profiles as the type of hitter who could be a solid deep-league corner infielder for now.
