Big thanks to @swingsandtakes.com for hopping on FBT to do our 2026 Mariners preview! We did record it before the Brendan Donovan trade but don't think that fundamentally changed anything we talked about. Josh Naylor's steals, Kirby's health and more!

Here are 10 names I'm pretty excited about that I expect to take another step forward this season, and maybe even be league winners. The last two are for my deep-leaguers out there.

SLEEPERS 1.0 π΄
Here's my first round of sleepers for the 2026 Fantasy Baseball season. I wound up writing about at least one name at each position with some bonus deeper names at outfield and starting pitcher!

thanks! it is entirely possible an extra year removed from surgery is big for strider. If he shows up with better stuff this spring, I'll have to take him off this list.

BUSTS 1.0 β
Here's my first round of Busts for the 2026 season. I broke them down into three categories: bottom-out potential, injury risks and don't pay for the career year:

maybe, statcast stuff looks great but it was a very small sample

Just looked into the Kauffman Stadium changes. I think all of their hitters will gain at least a little value. The ones who should gain the most are those who pull the ball in the air. Four names with a pulled air rate over 20%:
Vinnie P
Salvy
Jensen
Collins
Updated look at what's changing:
ALSO, Welcome back to our lives... Nolan Gorman!!
13.01.2026 17:54 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0What this does is take one more spot away from Jordan Lawlar this season. I'm not closing the book on his potential but it really feels like the Dbacks are out on him based on everything we've seen to this point. I'm happy to be wrong if he impresses this spring and earns a spot.
13.01.2026 17:46 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Nolan Arenado to the Dbacks seems like a slight uptick for his value. Chase Field is a little better for RHB than Busch Stadium. Not sure he would have gained more homers based on last year's batted ball data (2025 spray chart overlayed with Chase Field pictured below)
13.01.2026 17:46 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0thanks! happy you enjoyed, we'll have one coming out per day for the next month

Pirates should also sign Okamoto and give Konnor Griffin a fair shot to win their shortstop job. Potential Opening Day lineup:
Konnor Griffin
Brandon Lowe
Bryan Reynolds
Ryan OβHearn
Kazuma Okamoto
OβNeil Cruz
Spencer Horwitz
Joey Bart
Jake Mangum
Go Pirates Go! π΄ββ οΈ
Thanks yea, Harper is probably a lock to miss 20-30 games but felt like a fair value in the fifth
20.12.2025 19:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Completed my second NFBC Gladiator (15 team roto, draft your starting roster and thats it) from the 5th pick. Betting on some injury bounce backs. No, closers donβt usually go this high but thatβs the asking price in this format. PS I like Maikel Garcia and Pepiot a lot for 2026!
20.12.2025 17:15 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I think there are legit 10 different pitcher you can put at SP4. I just really like the skills we saw from Yoshi and think the Dodgers could use him even more like a workhorse on a per start basis (like they did in the postseason)
18.12.2025 22:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I have him just outside Top-20, but there's a definitely an argument for him to be inside if you think he'll get enough innings
