When to Buy

Signing with a better team, moving to a hitter-friendly park, or getting a clearer path to playing time. If the market hasn't fully priced it in, buying early can pay off.When the market overreacts to noise
Spring training slumps, one bad week, or temporary role uncertainty. If your research says the player is undervalued, consider buying.When building for dividends
