Hidden Gems: Fantasy Baseball Players Poised for Explosive Value Surges at the MLB Trade Deadline

Dylan Lee – RP, Atlanta Braves
Another closer likely to be dealt is Raisel Iglesias, now that he has pitched much better over the last six weeks. If he does get traded, the Braves could move to a committee at the end of games, but Lee has been their best high-leverage reliever and would get his shot at save chances over the final two months.
Jason Adam – RP, San Diego Padres
It seems like a long shot that Robert Suarez gets traded, but his name has come up in rumors because he will be a free agent at the end of the season, and the Padres have a deep bullpen where they can deal from a strength to address a weakness. If Suarez is dealt, it would be Adam or Jeremiah Estrada who would step into the closer’s role. Both of them have been tremendous this season, but Adam has pitched in the second-highest-leverage innings, behind Suarez, so he seems likely to get the first shot at the gig.
