Waiver Wire ads from the weekend, up next on Fantasy Baseball Today Express. [upbeat music] Welcome into FBT Express on Monday, June 8th.

And maybe that's... Look, I generally think you should not worry so much about the player's name. You should worry about the profile. And Reed Detmers' profile looks really good. 291 FIP, 292 xERA.
