Roster Rumors - Fantasy Baseball Trade Deadline Dashboard
A fantasy baseball dashboard that ingests MLB trade rumors, ranks them by likelihood, and shows exactly how each rumored trade would impact your fantasy roster — including which All-Stars might shift.
Fantasy baseball players preparing for the trade deadline (typically the week after the All-Star break)
- Live rumor feed with AI-imputed probability per rumor
- Per-trade impact preview: 'If Schwarber goes to the Yankees, here's what changes for you'
- Watchlist alerts when your players get mentioned
- Auction-style 'who wins the trade?' consensus poll
The All-Star break sits 10 days before the MLB trade deadline; while fans debate All-Stars now, fantasy players are already hunting for trade-deadline intel

Fantasy players routinely pay $30–$100+ per season for premium tools (FantasyPros Playbook, EV Analytics MLB Premium, RotoBaller premium), so WTP is proven — but the window is only ~2 weeks/year, capping LTV and requiring seasonal pricing.Premium Subscription Prices and Plans | Upgrade at FantasyPros ↗MLB Premium (Beta) - EV Analytics ↗
Fantasy baseball and the MLB trade deadline are perennial, but the rumored-trade product is only sharply useful for a 6–8 week window each summer; could be extended with off-season trade/free-agent rumor coverage (mimicking MLBTradeRumors) to smooth revenue.MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com ↗
Rumor aggregation (RSS/scraping MLBTradeRumors) and projecting impact on a user-league roster are technically straightforward using existing projection APIs, but 'rank rumors by likelihood' is the hardest piece — it benefits from editorial grading or a learned model and is non-trivial to do well.
