BREAKING NEWS: Blake Snell signs with the San Francisco Giants for 2 years, $62-million, with a $17 million signing bonus. The question is, How does this affect your fantasy teams?

This will affect fantasy because Blake Snell will be coming in as the #2 Starting Pitcher in the rotation, right behind Logan Webb. Our experts predict that a slight decrease in points from last year, and to not expect him to get back-to-back Cy Young Awards. Age is also a big factor, as Snell is entering his age 31 season. Snell last year had 180 Innings Pitched, a 14-9 record, with 234-99 K-BB ratio. (K= Strikeout, BB= Walk) He also had a whopping 2.25 ERA (Earned Run Average) and a 1.19 WHIP. (Walks and Hits per Innings Pitched) Nonetheless, Snell will still be a top-10 pitcher in your leagues, while pushing top-5, and I would still advise you to draft him if you have the chance.
