FANTASY FARE: What's with Khris Davis' astounding homerless streak?

If anyone out there has stumbled across Khris Davis’ power stroke, the A’s slugger and his fantasy owners would be much obliged if you’d find a way to get it back to him ASAP. Heading into Saturday’s play, the veteran right-handed hitter, who led all of baseball with 48 homers last year, has now gone 99 at-bats without putting a ball into the seats and has been stuck on 16 since June 18. And given the rate in which balls are landing in the seats these days — Twins’ Nelson Cruz, alone, has nine the past two weeks — Davis’ power drought is practically mesmerizing.

The MLB swap deadline arrives July 31 and that provides fantasy owners with another two weeks to assess the impact on your team, reconfigure trade targets and check out the fresh batch of waiver wire possibilities of players who have switched leagues.
