Phillies In On Dallas Keuchel, Zach Britton
Dec. 11, 2018
.The Philadelphia Phillies are in on free-agent starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel and reliever Zach Britton, and they are also still trying to lure in either Manny Machado or Bryce Harper. Keuchel is a ground-ball artist who could thrive despite the hitting-friendly environment in Philly, although this wouldn't be the most attractive landing spot for the southpaw. Britton has slowly faded after a career-high 47 saves for the Orioles in 2016, but he could be in line for save chances with the Phils if he signs, as they don't have a set closer heading into the 2019 season.

Zach Britton Yankee Woes Continue
Aug. 13, 2018
Ever since he was acquired from the Baltimore Orioles via trade, Zach Britton has been far from effective with the New York Yankees. The 30-year-old is sporting an 8.53 ERA across his last seven appearances, surrendering six runs on six innings of work. On Monday night against the New York Mets, he allowed another run on three hits. While the Yankees find themselves 30 games over .500 and in excellent shape to clinch a berth in the postseason, there are certainly a number of issues they've got to work on, with Britton being one of them.
Zach Britton Blows Save In Extra Innings
Aug. 7, 2018
After New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton delivered a two-run home run to put the Yankees ahead Tuesday night in Chicago, manager Aaron Boone opted for Zach Britton to record the save. Coming off a pair of scoreless appearances at Fenway Park, the 30-year-old recorded two outs before surrendering a game-tying two-run home run to Jose Abreu. The two runs allowed now mean Britton has allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings with the Yankees after closing out his stint with the Orioles on eight scoreless innings. More importantly, his save opportunity could be a sign of Aaron Boone's trust in him over other top relievers in the staff on any potential night that team closer Aroldis Chapman may not be able to pitch.
Zach Britton Being Used In Seventh Inning
Aug. 6, 2018
New York Yankees reliever Zach Britton pitched a scoreless inning on Sunday against the Boston Red Sox, but it wasn't in a set up role. Britton came into the game in the seventh inning, following fellow reliever David Robertson, who pitched in the sixth. When the Yankees acquired Britton from the Baltimore Orioles it was expected that he'd claim the setup man role in the eighth, but so far that hasn't been quite the case. Instead, manager Aaron Boone has been going with a Robertson-Britton-Dellin Betances-Aroldis Chapman combination in potential save situations like Sunday. Of course, with so many talented arms in the Yankee bullpen, Britton will have chances to pitch the eighth as well as the ninth in certain situations, but it's worth noting that Betances seems to be holding the setup role for now.
Zach Britton Pitches Perfect Eighth In Yankees Debut
Jul. 27, 2018
New York Yankees setup man Zach Britton made his debut in pinstripes on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Coming into the eighth inning of a 7-2 game, Britton induced two groundouts — Britton's devastating sinker almost always results in ground ball outs — along with his first strikeout as a Yankee. Britton definitely lost fantasy value after being traded from the Baltimore Orioles; he was the undisputed closer there. But with that said, he still holds high value in deep, multiple reliever leagues, and if Aroldis Chapman were to suffer an injury — Chapman has battled a balky left knee this season — Britton will instantly become a hot commodity once again.

Orioles Acquire Three Prospects For Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
The Baltimore Orioles acquired pitching prospects Dillon Tate, Josh Rogers and Cody Carroll from the New York Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for closer Zach Britton. Tate was the Yankees' No. 9 prospect, while Carroll was 15th. The Yankees are also picking up the remaining $5 million on Britton's contract. Tate obviously has the most upside of the trio of prospects and was 5-2 with a 3.38 ERA in 15 starts at Double-A this year. However, Carroll and Rogers could make an impact at the big league level sooner, with Carroll a lights-out reliever who had a 2.38 ERA in 41 2/3 innings at Triple-A.

Orioles Agree To Trade Zach Britton To Yankees
Jul. 24, 2018
The Baltimore Orioles agreed to send closer Zach Britton to the New York Yankees on Tuesday, according to sources. The full package that the Orioles will land is uncertain, but it's been confirmed that starting pitching prospect Dillon Tate will headline the package. The left-handed Britton will serve as a setup man with his new team, which destroys pretty much all of his fantasy value. At least his fantasy owners can hang their hat on the fact that Britton has tossed eight scoreless outings his last eight times out. Back in Baltimore, expect Brad Brach to handle the majority of the save chances now.
Dillon Tate Headed To Orioles In Reported Zach Britton Deal
Jul. 24, 2018
Assuming the New York Yankees and Baltimore Orioles can come to an agreement for closer Zach Britton, prospect Dillon Tate is confirmed to be headlining the trade package. Tate is currently ranked as the ninth best prospect in the Yankees organization by MLB Pipeline. Tate has pitched to a 16-7 record with a 3.53 ERA and a 216/85 K/BB ratio over four seasons in the minor leagues. He gives the Orioles a young pitcher with potential to help build the future. It's expected that the two clubs agree to a Britton trade by Wednesday, at which point Tate will become a member of the Orioles.
Yankees Close To Acquiring Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
Updating a previous story, the New York Yankees are close to finalizing a deal to land Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton in exchange for multiple prospects. Yankees infielder Brandon Drury is not included in the deal on the table. The Yankees also scratched pitching prospect Dillon Tate from his start at Double-A on Tuesday, so he could very well be included. While Britton has looked great in his last eight outings, this trade would be terrible for his fantasy value, as he'll likely just be a setup man to closer Aroldis Chapman in the Bronx. Brad Brach should close games now for Baltimore when Britton is inevitably traded. If Brach is on your waiver wire and you're desperate for saves, pick him up.
Yankees Emerge As Front-Runner For Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
The New York Yankees have reportedly emerged as the front-runner to land Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton. Fancred's Jon Heyman mentioned that the two teams are in "intense negotiations" while the Athletic's Ken Rosenthal mentions that top prospect Dillon Tate could be involved. No deal is in place yet, but it seems increasingly likely that Britton is dealt to the Yankees. In New York he would function as the setup man to Aroldis Chapman. Britton would lose his fantasy value as he would no longer see save chances, however, he would give the Yankees a lethal combination in the eighth and ninth inning.
Four Teams In the Running For Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
The Houston Astros, Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Chicago Cubs are the main teams in the running for Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton. Sources have said that both the Astros and Yankees have sweetened their offers in the last few days. Britton seems like a lock to be traded soon. Unfortunately for his fantasy owners, his value is likely to drop in a trade, as he probably won't be closing for any of those teams. In Baltimore, expect Brad Brach to take over the closing duties again if Britton leaves town.
Dodgers Could Dangle Yasiel Puig For Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
The Los Angeles Dodgers could include outfielder Yasiel Puig in a potential trade for Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton in order to try and stay under the luxury-tax threshold. The Dodgers would like to fortify their bullpen around closer Kenley Jansen, but they aren't currently among the front-runners for his services. A move to LA would be a hit to Britton's fantasy value, as he'd no longer be closing.
Orioles Discussed Yasiel Puig for Zach Britton
Jul. 24, 2018
The Baltimore Orioles continue to search for a new home for relief pitcher Zach Britton as the trade deadline approaches. The Los Angeles Dodgers have discussed a trade in which Yasiel Puig would head to Baltimore in exchange for Britton. The Dodgers want to stay under luxury-tax threshold, so moving Puig's salary in exchange for Britton's would help do that. It does not sound like anything serious as been discussed and the Dodgers would likely have to give up more than just Puig.
Yankees Still Trying For Zach Britton
Jul. 23, 2018
While the Astros and the Cubs have been the teams most linked to Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, the New York Yankees are still trying to acquire him. Britton is almost a lock to be traded before the July 31 non-waiver deadline. However, in a loaded Yankees bullpen that already has Aroldis Chapman locked in in the ninth, Britton would lose serious fantasy value with a move to the Bronx.
Zach Britton Garnering Interest From Diamondbacks
Jul. 23, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton just continues to attract suitors. After Brad Hand and Jeurys Familia both found new homes, Britton has become the most attractive bullpen arm on the trade market. The Houston Astros, New York Yankees, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Dodgers have all been linked to Britton, and now the Arizona Diamondbacks can be added to the fold. According to Ken Rosenthal, the D-Backs have expressed interest in Britton. The Orioles are familiar with the D-Backs' farm system as well, due to previous talks involving Manny Machado. That said, the Snakes sport a strong bullpen that includes the likes of Andrew Chafin and Silvino Bracho, so it would be interesting to see what role Britton would have if traded to the desert.
Chris Archer, Zach Britton Being Eyed By Brewers
Jul. 23, 2018
Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Chris Archer and Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton are reportedly being targeting by the Milwaukee Brewers. According to Ken Rosenthal, the Brewers — who were in on the Manny Machado sweepstakes — have turned their attention to upgrading their pitching staff. The Brewers are currently trying to keep up with the Chicago Cubs in the National League Central, and getting arms like Archer's and Britton's would certainly help. Britton would provide quality left-handed help in the bullpen, but Archer would add elite-level stuff at the top of a rotation that could use it. Both players would see their fantasy value increase exponentially with a move to the Brewers, or any other contender for that matter. Archer in particular is definitely a sell-high candidate at this point in time for fantasy players looking for depth at other positions.
Astros "All In" On Zach Britton
Jul. 22, 2018
The Houston Astros are "all in" on Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, according to a source. Last year's failed trade will have no impact on whether Houston lands him this year. Britton got off to a bad start after a late start to the year with an Achilles injury, but he hasn't allowed a run in his last eight outings over eight innings since June 30. Hector Rondon has performed admirably in the ninth for Houston of late, so Britton may be in a setup role if he's traded to the Astros. That would be bad news for his fantasy value. Back in Baltimore, with Britton almost a lock to be dealt before the deadline, Brad Brach is a good stash, as he'd likely take over the ninth-inning duties in the absence of Britton.
Orioles Want To Trade Zach Britton By Early Next Week
Jul. 21, 2018
The Baltimore Orioles would reportedly like to have closer Zach Britton traded by early next week. After seeing deals for Brad Hand and Jeurys Familia, the Orioles and interested parties are looking to move quickly on a deal for Britton. The Dodgers and Cubs have already been named as suitors while ESPN's Jerry Crasnick lists the Houston Astros as another potential option. It's becoming increasingly likely that Britton is traded with the only questions remaining when and where. If Britton is dealt to a team where he will no longer see save opportunities, he will lose his fantasy value.
Chicago Cubs Also Heavily Interested In Zach Britton
Jul. 21, 2018
It was recently reported that the Los Angeles Dodgers remain interested in acquiring Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton. According to The Athletic's Patrick Mooney, the Chicago Cubs are also highly involved on Britton and are deeply interested in acquiring him. In Chicago it's unkown if he would become the closer or if he would work as the setup man to Brandon Morrow. Regardless, he would give Chicago one of the better back ends off the bullpen in the league. Chicago won the 2016 World Series after acquiring Aroldis Chapman at the deadline and are attempting to do the same with Britton. With two playoff-bound teams involved, it looks as if Britton will be moved prior to the July 31 trade deadline.
Dodgers Remain Active In Zach Britton Trade Talks
Jul. 21, 2018
Despite already acquiring Manny Machado from the Orioles, the Los Angeles Dodgers remain interested in Baltimore closer Zach Britton. The Dodgers want Britton to be their setup man to Kenley Jansen, giving them one of the most potent 1-2 punches in recent memory. If Britton were to be traded to the Dodgers, he would lose his fantasy value as he will no longer be seeing save chances, but he would give Los Angeles undoubtedly the highest odds to win the World Series. Britton has pitched to a 3.68 ERA and a 13/9 K/BB ratio in 2018. He has looked strong in recent appearances after returning from an Achilles injury.
Braves Discussing Zach Britton
Jul. 20, 2018
The Atlanta Braves have talked to the Baltimore Orioles about closer Zach Britton. The Braves are seeking bullpen help and have a loaded farm system. Britton might be the most coveted trade chip now that Manny Machado has been dealt, and it seems like a foregone conclusion that Britton will be playing for a different team by the end of this month. The lefty closer struggled initially after returning from an Achilles injury this year, but he's now gone seven straight outings without allowing a run with six strikeouts. He has plenty of closing experience and would probably take over the closing duties in Atlanta. That'd be bad news for A.J. Minter and Arodys Vizcaino.
Cubs Could Be Main Player For Zach Britton
Jul. 19, 2018
Baltimore Orioles general manager Dan Duquette said his next efforts will be to trade closer Zach Britton, and sources are pointing to the Chicago Cubs as a main player for his services. Brandon Morrow has done a fine job as Chicago's closer, but he's been injured of late and just landed back on the disabled list. It's unclear if the two might share the ninth inning if both were healthy, though. Back in Baltimore, Brad Brach would likely return to the closer role if Britton is traded.
Interest In Zach Britton Has Picked Up Steam
Jul. 17, 2018
Interest in Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton has reportedly picked up steam. With the Orioles reported Manny Machado deal set to be finalized on Wednesday, there's a good chance the team acts quickly to move Britton. The closer is a free agent at the end of the season and has pitched to a 3.68 ERA and a 13/9 K/BB ratio with four saves in 2018. Britton was an All-Star from 2015-16 and likely would've been voted again in 2017 if he didn't suffer an Achilles injury. He has been linked to the Cubs and will likely see interest from bullpen needy teams such as the Astros and Indians. If Britton is moved to a team where he won't see save opportunities he will hold little fantasy value. Owners must be on the lookout as the Orioles look to proceed with a full on fire sale.
Cubs Interested In Zach Britton, Brad Hand
Jul. 16, 2018
The Chicago Cubs are among eight teams that are talking to the Baltimore Orioles about closer Zach Britton, according to an industry source. They are also interested in San Diego Padres closer Brad Hand, though Hand will cost much more than Britton, who will be a free agent after this season. Hand is signed through 2020 with a $10 million option for 2021. Britton got off to a rough start after returning from Achilles surgery, but he hasn't allowed a run over his last seven outings while showing an increase in velocity. The Orioles would prefer to trade Britton and shortstop Manny Machado in separate deals to increase their return. The Cubs already have Brandon Morrow as their closer, so it's uncertain what role Britton or Hand would fill in Chicago if they were traded, but they'd almost certainly lose fantasy value.

Zach Britton Picks Up Second Straight Save Sunday
Jul. 15, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton pitched a scoreless ninth inning for the second straight game in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Rangers. Britton allowed one hit and a walk with no strikeouts while earning his fourth save of the season. While the walk rate is still high (5.52 BB/9), Britton looks to have found his old mojo and now has a 3.68 ERA with 13 strikeouts in 14 2/3 IP heading into the All-Star break.
Zach Britton Earns Third Save Of Season Saturday
Jul. 14, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton locked down his third save of the season in a 1-0 win against the Rangers. Britton came on to pitch the ninth inning up a run and allowed no runs on no hits and a walk with two strikeouts. The lefty seems to have found himself after a rough start to the season, as he has not allowed a run in his last six outings. Britton now has a 3.95 ERA, 13 strikeouts, and eight walks in 13 2/3 innings this season.
Phillies Could Trade For Manny Machado And Zach Britton
Jul. 13, 2018
The Philadelphia Phillies increased their offer to the Baltimore Orioles for shortstop Manny Machado on Friday, but it's unclear what exactly they are offering. If they do a deal including both Machado and closer Zach Britton, they'll have to pay a higher price in talent. Philadelphia is reluctant to part with their top prospect, Sixto Sanchez. On the big league roster, they could deal third baseman Maikel Franco and/or outfielder Aaron Altherr. Machado is one of the best all-around players in the game this year, but the Phillies don't want to give up too much for a player that will be a free agent this winter. Machado's fantasy value is already extremely high, but he could see his numbers improve playing for a contender like Philadelphia. Britton started the year late due to an Achilles injury and wasn't sharp upon returning, but he has been much better of late. If he lands in Philadelphia, he'd likely be the main ninth-inning guy, which would be bad news for Seranthony Dominguez and Victor Arano.
Phillies Interested In Zach Britton
Jul. 12, 2018
The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in Orioles closer Zach Britton and have spoken about him with Orioles officials, according to a major league source. The Phils also like shortstop Manny Machado, but at the moment they find Baltimore's asking price for him to be too steep. Philadelphia's best shot at landing Machado might come in the offseason when he's a free agent. Britton is a two-time All-Star who had 47 saves in 2016. He started this year late due to a ruptured Achilles tendon and hasn't posted great numbers, but he has put up five scoreless innings in his last five outings. Britton would be a good fit in the Phillies bullpen, especially since manager Gabe Kapler hasn't really settled on one reliever in the ninth. Britton's fantasy value would surely be much higher in Philadelphia on a winning team that would give him more opportunities for saves. If Britton were to be traded, Brad Brach would likely close again for the O's.

Zach Britton Earns First Win Of Season Tuesday
Jul. 10, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton picked up his first win of the season in Tuesday's 6-5 game against the Yankees. Britton entered in the top of the ninth inning with the game tied at five. After allowing a leadoff single, Britton got three straight outs, including two strikeouts. A walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth won the game for the O's, giving Britton the win. The lefty is now 1-0 with two saves and a 4.26 ERA in 12 2/3 IP. He hasn't pitched all that well since returning from an Achilles injury, but fantasy owners should not give up on him yet given the small sample size.
Red Sox Interested in Zach Britton
Jul. 10, 2018
The Boston Red Sox are reportedly interested in acquiring Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton. Boston has been linked to multiple different big name relievers as they look to bolster their bullpen for a deep playoff run. Adding Britton would give the Red Sox one of the scariest one-two punches in the league, however, Britton would lose his fantasy value as the setup man to Craig Kimbrel. Britton has pitched just 11 2/3 innings in 2018, but was an All-Star in 2015 and 2016 and likely would've been one again in 2017 if he didn't get hurt.
Zach Britton Earns His Second Save
Jul. 9, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton, the other Baltimore Oriole who's expected to be playing elsewhere after July 31, recorded his second save of the season on Monday in the first game of a doubleheader against the New York Yankees. The left-hander worked a scoreless ninth, throwing 15 pitches and allowing one hit, in the Orioles' 5-4 win. It is the fourth straight scorless outing for Britton, who continues to work his way back from an Achilles injury. In 12 appearances, the 30-year-old has a 4.63 ERA across 11 2/3 innings.
Zach Britton Blows First Save Of Season Wednesday
Jun. 27, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton blew his first save of the season in Wednesday's game against the Mariners. Britton entered the ninth inning with a two-run lead and proceeded to give it away on a Kyle Seager two-run home run. Britton's final line in the inning pitched was two runs on two hits with a strikeout. He has not done well since returning to the team from an Achilles injury, posting a 7.04 ERA in 7 2/3 IP. However, with Britton's name floating around the trade market, the Orioles may continue to give him opportunities to showcase his skills until the trade deadline. Regardless, Britton currently pitches for one of the worst teams in baseball, so his opportunities for saves will be limited.
Zach Britton Earns First Save Of Season Saturday
Jun. 23, 2018
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton earned his first save of the season in Saturday's 7-5 win against the Braves. Britton pitched a strong ninth inning, allowing no runs on no hits and a walk with a strikeout. The performance was an encouraging one after a disastrous outing a day before in which Britton allowed four runs and only recorded one out. The lefty has served as the Orioles closer in previous seasons with great success, so it makes sense that the Orioles would want him in that role as soon as possible. He now has a 6.35 ERA but has only pitched 5 2/3 innings due to an Achilles injury.
Zach Britton Has Disastrous Outing Friday
Jun. 23, 2018
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton could only manage one out in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning win over the Braves. Britton entered the ninth inning up by four runs and proceeded to allow four runs on five hits and a hit batsman. Britton's only out was not really his doing, as Freddie Freeman was thrown out at home attempting to score on a Nick Markakis double. Britton has only pitched 4 2/3 innings this season since returning from an Achilles injury but now has an ugly 7.71 ERA with five strikeouts and four walks. While he has been an All-Star closer for the Orioles in the past, Britton clearly has some rust to shake off before resuming that role.
Zach Britton is Available on Saturday
Jun. 16, 2018
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton (Achilles) was recently activated off the 60-day disabled list. He's pitched twice since returning, and is reportedly available for a back to back outing on Saturday. He struck out two batters over one inning of work on Friday. Manager Buck Showalter said he's going to ease Britton back into the ninth inning role. The Orioles don't do much winning, so there won't be too many save chances for Britton on a weekly basis. He has value in some fantasy leagues, but he's not going to see a bunch of save chances on the Orioles this season if they continue to lose at this rate.
Zach Britton Pitches Clean Eighth Inning Friday
Jun. 15, 2018
Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Zach Britton pitched a strong eighth inning in Friday's 2-0 loss to the Marlins. Britton came into the game down by two and went three up-three down, picking up two strikeouts. The outing was just Britton's second of the season, as he had been recovering from an Achilles injury. The lefty's role in the bullpen should become more clear once he gets a few more outings under his belt, but he should be owned now for his potential to see save opportunities.
Zach Britton Pitches First Inning Of Season Tuesday
Jun. 12, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton logged his first inning pitched of the season Tuesday against the Red Sox. Britton was activated from the disabled list Monday after recovering from an Achilles injury. The lefty pitched the seventh inning, allowing no runs on no hits and three walks with a strikeout. While the outing wasn't great, it was nice to see Britton in a Major League game, as it was his first outing since last September. Fantasy players will need to wait for a clear picture as to Britton's role in the Orioles bullpen, but he is worth a roster spot due to his saves potential. The Orioles will slowly ease Britton back into high-leverage situations and eventually return him to the closing role, which will hurt Brad Brach's fantasy value.

Zach Britton To Be Activated From DL Monday
Jun. 11, 2018
Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton (Achilles) will be activated from the disabled list Monday prior to the Orioles game against the Red Sox, per The Baltimore Sun's Jon Meoli. A countermove has not yet been announced. Britton has yet to pitch in the big leagues this season but has been an elite closer for the Orioles in the past. However, with Brad Brach currently serving as the closer and Darren O'Day recently returning to the bullpen, it may be a while before Britton's role is defined. He is worth a roster spot as a speculative source of saves, although given how the Orioles have played this season, there may not be many save opportunities to be had. Expect Baltimore to ease Britton back into high-leverage situations. The biggest loser will be Brach eventually.
