K ꓘ 1: Keeper and Trade Targets Based on ADP and Ottoneu Values

Pete Ball (@PeteBBaseball) and Chad Young (@ChadYoung) kick off the Keep or Kut podcast by discussing categories of players who have extra value when you can keep them at a low cost. What underhyped breakouts are worth tracking? Whose Ottoneu salaries haven't caught up to their value yet? What players have made changes to stance or approach that suggest their breakouts are real? We talk Anthony Santander, Dominic Smith, Wil Myers, Tanner Houck, and more.
