A. Santander - RF

BAL

Anthony Santander requested $2.475 million and was offered $2.1 million by the Orioles when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

The 26-year-old was projected by MLBTradeRumors to earn $2.1 million through arbitration -- matching what was offered by the Orioles. Santander slashed .261/.315/.575 with 11 homers and 32 RBI in 37 games with the Orioles in 2020 before being shut down by a right oblique strain. He'll enter the 2021 campaign locked into a spot in the middle of the Orioles lineup where he should deliver ample counting stats -- though his lack of speed limits his overall fantasy upside.

C. DeSmith - G

PIT

Casey DeSmith replaced Tristan Jarry midway through the first period as the Penguins lose 5-2 to the Flyers

DeSmith faced just 13 shots and made 12 saves in two and a half periods of work but the Penguins just couldn't handle the Flyers as they lose 5-2. There are already question marks in the Penguins net, so fantasy GMs that have Tristan Jarry on their roster should stash DeSmith in case Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan decides to roll with whichever goalie has the hot hand at the time.

L. Nance - C

CLE

Larry Nance Jr. had a gem of a line vs. the Knicks on Friday with 14 points (6-of-10 FGs), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, two triples and four turnovers in 44 minutes.

He was all over the place tonight but his fantasy managers already know all about that as Nance has raced out to a top-45 pace in 9-cat with 10.5 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.8 dimes, 2.4 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.6 triples. The front court is about to get more crowded in Cleveland after they acquired Jarrett Allen from Brooklyn, but Nance hasn't logged any of his minutes as a center this season so hopefully it doesn't impact him too much. We're still expecting big things from Nance, especially with Kevin Love (calf) still on the shelf.

J. Davis - 3B

NYM

J.D. Davis requested $2.475 million and was offered $2.1 million by the Mets when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

The 27-year-old is arbitration eligible as a Super Two player and earned $592,463 during the 2020 season. After a breakthrough season offensively in 2019, Davis saw his production fall off in 2020, hitting just .247/.371/.389 with six homers and 19 RBI in 229 plate appearances. Barring any further additions, Davis will open the 2021 season as the Mets' everyday third baseman.

R. Henley - G

Russell Henley made his move on Friday at the Sony Open in Hawaii, twirling a 6-under-par 32-32=64 to stake his share of the 36-hole clubhouse lead (10-under 130).

The past champ has piped 10 fairways each day but he's not feeling the most confident with that club right now. "I got away with some drives today that I did not hit very well. I'm very thankful for a couple of really good bounces I got but I feel really good with my putter." Speaking of the putter, it was always a strength of his early in his career but his putting performance has declined over the last few years. If he can regain that skill to go along with his lights-out iron play then he'll to flirting with contention a lot this season. If the current co-lead holds then it'll be his fifth career 36-hole lead or co-lead on the PGA TOUR, first since the 2016 Travelers Championship, and second at Waialae CC (2013). Even if he gets passed late in the day, he's still in a good position to strike over the weekend, as long as he can tune up the driver.

A. Drummond - C

CLE

Andre Drummond had a field day in a 106-103 win over the Knicks on Friday, scoring a season-high 33 points (10-of-18 FGs, 13-of-19 FTs) with 23 rebounds, three assists, two steals, two blocks and two turnovers in 40 minutes.

Good grief. That’s his 43rd game with a 20/20 line as Drummond moves past Hakeem Olajuwon for the third most such games in NBA history. This was also the first 30-point, 20-rebound game for the Cavaliers since Carlos Boozer did it back in 2004. It’s going to be interesting to see how the Cavs divvy up the frontcourt minutes when Jarrett Allen is cleared next game, but GM Koby Altman said he told Drummond on Thursday that his role stays the same and that he can help Allen. While Drummond is likely to keep his job, it’s probably fair to expect at least a slight dip in workload.

J. Choi - 1B

Ji-Man Choi requested $2.45 million and was offered $1.85 million by the Rays when arbitration figures were exchanged on Friday.

MLBTradeRumors projected that Choi would earn around $1.8 million via arbitration, which jives with the number that the Rays countered with. The 29-year-old is slated to receive the "bulk of reps" at first base for the Rays in 2021 after hitting .230/.331/.410 with three long balls and 16 RBI over 145 plate appearances during the regular season in 2020. An extremely skilled defender and wonderful personality, Choi can continue to be avoided for fantasy purposes.

T. Jarry - G

PIT

Tristan Jarry got pulled after allowing three goals on six shots in the first period as the Penguins lose to the Flyers 5-2.

Jarry played a total of 11:30 before getting yanked by the Penguins coach Mike Sullivan for allowing three goals on just six shots. Jarry getting yanked seemed to give Pittsburgh a bit of a spark but they were just overpowered by Philadelphia. Casey DeSmith looked pretty good in relief of Jarry so fantasy GMs should keep an eye on the Penguins goaltender situation. DeSmith might be worth a pick up for GMs with Jarry on their team.
