Fernando Tatis Jr. - San Diego Padres

Tatis is rostered in all fantasy baseball leagues yet, but has gotten off to a slow start in 2026. So he's a trade option as a buy-low candidate.

In 45 games and across 193 plate appearances so far, Tatis has a .232 average and .307 on-base percentage. He has five doubles, one triple and no home runs among his 39 total hits. Tatis has 15 RBIs, 16 runs scored, 11 stolen bases, 19 walks and 47 strikeouts.

He's been between 21-25 homers the past three years, so no homers so far is very odd, and concerning. Overall, Tatis has struggled based on past seasons and career averages.

I'm not all-in on Tatis, who has an injury history too, but for the right price, I'd be happy to trade for him. At least see what his asking price is, as his value continues to plummet.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. - New York Yankees

Chisholm is owned in nearly all leagues, but he isn't at 100% owned either. He's another buy-low trade candidate.

Over 46 games and 186 plate appearances this season, Chisholm has a .230 average and .312 OBP. He has four homers and nine doubles among his 38 total knocks, plus 16 RBIs, 20 runs scored, 12 stolen bases, 19 walks and 53 strikeouts.

Most of his numbers are down from past seasons. He also has an injury history, so many fantasy owners are looking to move on from Chisholm.

For the right price, I'm fine with trading for Chisholm, but I wouldn't give up very much in return. See what the asking price is, and if you're intrigued, consider trading for Chisholm, as better days should be ahead for him.

Gunnar Henderson - Baltimore Orioles

Henderson is another buy-low trade candidate right now. He's also owned in all fantasy leagues still.

He's heating up of late, and is coming off a four-hit game in which he popped a homer. Henderson still only has a .214 average and .269 OBP over 46 games and 212 plate appearances.

He has 10 homers, nine doubles and a triple among his 42 total knocks. Henderson has 24 RBIs and runs scored, six stolen bases, 14 walks and 59 strikeouts.

Henderson has been a much better fantasy asset in the past, and better days are certainly coming. I love the idea of trading for Henderson today, but the asking price is still likely to be pretty high, so don't expect to get him for pennies. Make the move before he heats up anymore.

Will Warren - New York Yankees

Warren is sitting at 94% rostered after not being owned in too many leagues to kick off the 2026 season. So he's a rare sell-high trade candidate.

He has made nine starts for the Yankees this season, and he sits with a 5-1 record and 3.42 earned run average so far. He has a 4.80 ERA over his three-year MLB career, so some are expecting regression in time. There's also a chance he is in the midst of a breakout season, so trading for him now is still a good move.

Warren has allowed 23 runs (18 earned) on 43 hits and 12 walks in 47 1/3 innings so far. He has struck out 59 batters.

I'd be happy to trade him away high, or also trade for him, even if it costs a decent amount. I like what Warren has done so far, and think he could continue to deliver in 2026. Based on how you assess Warren and your fantasy team determines if you want to sell him or roster/acquire him for the long haul.

Ketel Marte - Arizona Diamondbacks

Marte is another big-name player who has struggled so far in 2026. So he is another buy-low fantasy trade target. He's still owned in all fantasy leagues.

Across 42 games and 180 plate appearances this season, Marte has a .216 average and .272 OBP. He has a career .278 average and .348 OBP, so better days should be ahead for the second baseman.

Marte has 36 hits so far, including six doubles, five home runs and two triples. He has 15 RBIs, 21 runs scored, 13 walks and 31 strikeouts as well.

He's started the year poorly, but his career numbers suggest buying into him now before he heats up. He has an injury history as well, so the asking price might not be too bad. At least see what Marte costs before shutting out the idea of buying him low.
