John Schreiber is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for closers and saves in Week 9 (2024). Schreiber is a good free agent waiver wire add for saves leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Schreiber is enjoying a stellar start to his first season in Kansas City. The big right-hander came over in a trade from Boston this offseason and has been a great addition to the KC bullpen. Through his first 20 appearances, he has 15 strikeouts in 20 innings with an impressive 0.90 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. He's won three games and saved one while functioning mainly as a late-inning, high-leverage reliever.

James McArthur remains the current KC closer, however, he has given up a lot of loud contact lately including four home runs over his last six appearances. McArthur has seen his ERA balloon to 4.58 and WHIP to 1.37 as a result. Rostering Schreiber as an insurance policy is a sharp move in deeper formats as he'd be the guy most likely to get more save opportunities if McArther continues to stumble.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
