Austin Meadows

It has been a while since I treated you to a trivia question. So with people losing their minds, as well as their FAAB budgets with recent call-ups like Juan Soto, here is a trivia question revolving around rookies. Who are the only two MLB players to win Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the same year? Answer at the end of the article.

Sorry, folks. No snazzy title today. This week's waiver wire report was going to follow a similar path to last week in that the sexiness was yet again lacking.

The addition of the 31-year-old McCutchen adds some punch to a team lacking in outfield talent.McCutchen, a five-time All-Star,  is the centerpiece of the trade. While no longer producing like he did five years ago, he still hit 28 home runs and stole 11 bases last season…
