Time to Cash In? Fantasy Baseball Players Whose Trade Values Are Soaring

Let's turn our attention to fantasy baseball trade options.

We will be looking at the FantasySP Trade Value Chart, first looking at risers over the past week, so possible sell-high trade candidates. Check back later for buy-low trade candidates.

Ben Rice - New York Yankees

Rice has been a high-end fantasy hitter all season, and he's really turned things on of late. 

Over his past seven games, Rice has a .414 average and .485 on-base percentage. He has 12 hits, 11 RBIs, eight runs scored, four walks and four strikeouts over that span.

Rice has a .313 average and .362 OBP over his past 15 games. He has 20 knocks, 15 RBIs, 13 runs scored, four walks and 11 strikeouts in that span.

Rice has played in 54 games and gotten 229 plate appearances this season. He has a .306 average and .397 OBP, plus 44 RBIs and runs scored, 29 walks, two stolen bases and 52 strikeouts.

The Yankees' first baseman is in the midst of a breakout season, and he's been a sell-high trade candidate most of the season. He just keeps delivering, so it's hard to actually part ways with Rice. I'd be much happier to just keep rostering Rice all season.

The only situation in which I'd trade Rice away is where my team had multiple weaknesses, and I had another option to turn to at first base. Flip Rice for a player at a position of need, and maybe improve your team in the process.

Otherwise, just hold Rice and expect big things from the Yankee for the remainder of the season. 

Michael Harris II - Atlanta Braves

Harris has been a good fantasy asset over his career, but he's been up and down. He's red hot of late, so he's a sell-high candidate.

In the past seven games, Harris has a .393 average and .469 OBP. He's got 11 hits, seven RBIs, five runs scored, three walks and four strikeouts in that span.

He has a .306 average and .358 OBP over his past 15 games. Harris has 19 hits, 11 runs scored, 12 RBIs, four walks, a stolen base and 11 strikeouts.

For the season, Harris has played in 57 games and gotten 217 plate appearances. He has a .307 average and .341 OBP, plus 36 RBIs, 28 runs scored, 10 walks, three stolen bases and 41 strikeouts.

Harris has delivered big in his past, but he's delivering career-best numbers right now. Him being part of a stacked outfield position means I'm happy to sell him high. 

See what kinds of offers float in for Harris. He's one to try to sell high on now. His recent production might not be replaceable, but I'd definitely look to part ways with him before his value goes down.

Braxton Ashcraft and Bryan Reynolds - Pittsburgh Pirates

Ashcraft and Reynolds are two Pirates on the rise of late.

Ashcraft has a 2.77 earned run average over 12 starts so far. He is 5-2 and has 81 strikeouts over 74 2/3 innings.

He was great in May, posting a 1.99 ERA over six starts. Ashcraft went 4-0 and had 42 punchouts over 40 2/3 innings.

Ashcraft has been good most of the season, but he's been better of late, so he is definitely a sell-high candidate. Most fantasy owners are going to want to ride the wave with Ashcraft, but if he can help you land players at positions of need, then I'd at least entertain the idea.

Ashcraft is going to regress in time, so look into selling him high now.

Reynolds has played in 60 games and logged 258 plate appearances this season. He has a .276 average and .403 OBP, plus 38 RBIs, 39 runs scored, 42 walks, four stolen bases and 55 strikeouts.

He's bounced back from a down 2025 and is trending up of late. Reynolds' numbers over that past seven games are stellar, and it's created a sell-high window with Reynolds.

He's an outfielder, so again, I like selling high on Reynolds, especially because I think he's going to regress in time. Look into selling him off before his value falls off.

Emerson Hancock - Seattle Mariners

Hancock has been a fantasy surprise this season, and he's been stellar of late.

Over 12 starts, he has a 4-2 record and 2.80 ERA. He's struck out 70 batters over 70 2/3 innings.

He had a 2.70 ERA in five May starts, and was good in his first start of June too. Hancock continues to establish himself as a good fantasy asset, but if you are still concerned about him in the long run, then selling him high now makes some sense.

Hancock is one to at least entertain offers for, because regression is likely to come, and it could hit at any time. Look to part ways with him before it's too late.
