Published: Aug. 18, 2018, midnight

It's crunch time for many of you who are still actively competing in your fantasy baseball leagues and as we reach these final weeks, there are a handful of topics to discuss. Steve Gardner of USA Today joins us on the show to chat about the current crop of prospects and what we're witnessing in Ronald Acuna (1:16), Juan Soto (3:09), and what we're waiting for with Vlad Guerrero Jr., Eloy Jimenez (4:11) and Michael Kopech (10:06). We then shift gears to name our favorite waiver pickups including a trio of youngsters in Willy Adames (16:28), Harrison Bader (19:11) and David Dahl (20:56) before jumping to pitchers (25:13). To end the show, we're providing answers to some tough decisions on whether it's time to move on from some big names such as Adrian Beltre (35:32), Tommy Pham (36:00), Adam Eaton (37:23), Jon Lester (40:28), and Chris Archer (41:14).
