Yahoo fantasy baseball managers are advised to act swiftly ahead of the upcoming trade deadline on August 6. Following recent MLB trades, managers of balanced rosters should consider exchanging hitters for pitchers due to a surplus of emerging batting talent. Key players to acquire include Riley Greene of the Tigers and Kenley Jansen, who is poised to accumulate saves as a closer. Conversely, managers are urged to trade underperforming players like Colson Montgomery of the White Sox, who has shown declining stats. Engaging in trades now could enhance rosters for the stretch run of the season.
