FAAB stands for “Free Agent Acquisition Budget (or Bidding).” It is the process of adding new hitters and pitchers to our fantasy baseball rosters in exchange for hitters and pitchers we have chosen to drop.

Fantasy Baseball 2023: Who is This Year’s Yelich?

Basically, assemble a collection of hitters and pitchers who out-earn their market prices (ADP or AAV). Sounds easy, right? Our goal […]
