Just a note: Today’s newsletter is going to be a bit more brief than your typical Monday morning reading. Why’s that? I had to fill in for Frank Stampfl, hosting Fantasy Baseball Today last night, and lemme tell you: That’s a lot of work. So I won’t be giving my usual six (or so) takeaways…
I don’t know if the plan is for the Red Sox to keep Payton Tolle around for good. Based on the fact that they just fired their entire coaching staff three weeks into the season, I’m not sure I understand what the plan for the Red Sox is at all right now. But even so,…
We’ve had plenty of pitchers show flashes this season, but I’m not sure any have me as interested as what we saw from Payton Tolle in his season debut Thursday. Pitching against the Yankees, Tolle was absolutely dominant. He limited the Yankees to just one run on three hits over six innings of work, and…
Go add Noah Schultz. The White Sox’s top pitching prospect is getting the call to make his MLB debut Tuesday after putting up a 1.29 ERA in his first 14 innings of the season, and Scott White tabbed him as a priority pickup when news of his promotion came down over the weekend. Schultz isn’t…
I want to be clear: I’m not worried about Garrett Crochet. I think he’s one of the three best pitchers in baseball, and I think he’s almost certainly going to be an absolute ace for Fantasy this season. But he isn’t quite right right now. Is that an overreaction to a rough start Wednesday? Well,…
Spoiler alert: I don’t tend to be aggressive with rankings moves for the first month of the season. This annoys some Fantasy Baseball players who want to see players shooting up and down the rankings based on their most recent level of production, but that just isn’t how I view things. In fact, I think…

We’re at the point in the schedule where some aces are making their second start already, while other pitchers lower in their teams’ respective pecking orders are just getting their first chance to show us what they’re bringing to the 2026 season. On Tuesday, we got a bunch of pretty intriguing debuts to dig our…
There aren’t many more exciting players in baseball right now than Munetaka Murakami. One of the most hyped players to ever come over from Japan, Murakami took his share of criticism this offseason after he settled for just a two-year contract with the White Sox, to the point where it seemed like too many forgot…
Opening Night! … It was kind of underwhelming. Well, not if you’re a Yankees fan, as they handled the Giants easily, winning 7-0. It was an ugly night for Logan Webb, but not an especially dispiriting one. His velocity was down a tick, but not enough to be too concerned. As a groundball, games like…
