I've been contributing to RotoBaller since January 2024 producing fantasy content for NFL, MLB, and NHL. I am also a member of the operations and staff and the editing team. I have been playing fantasy sports for nearly my entire life and believe in the importance of data analysis leading you to victory. I began my sports writing career with my university newspaper and was eventually promoted to sports editor and was nominated for several awards such as Best Editorial piece by the Press Club of Long Island. In my content, I emphasize data and historical trends as it is the key to finding the edge in our competitions. By analyzing the data given to us, we can make informed decisions and in turn, become sharper fantasy players. I am also an accredited member of the FSWA.

Lagrange is currently viewed as the team's No. 2-ranked prospect on MLB.com and the No. 74 overall prospect in baseball.

Kansas City Royals relief pitcher Carlos Estevez surpassed all expectations during the 2025 campaign. In his debut season in Kansas City, Estevez would tally 42 saves, which were the most in the major leagues. Through 66 innings, the right-hander would post a strong 2.45 ERA with a 106 WHIP. Even though he would strike out […]


Matt Olson Carries High Floor at First Base

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson continues to carry a high floor for fantasy purposes heading into the 2026 regular season. Olson has played in all 162 games since joining the Braves in 2022 and has continued to deliver high-end counting stats. Since 2022, Olson has hit at least 29 home runs in each campaign […]


David Bednar Poised to Remain Elite Closer in New York

New York Yankees relief pitcher David Bednar continues to hold value as one of the top relievers in fantasy baseball heading into the 2026 regular season. Bednar joined the Yankees shortly before the 2025 trade deadline and was quite impressive during his first stint in the Bronx. Over his first 24 2/3 innings in New […]


Angels Closing in on Contract with Brent Suter

The Los Angeles Angels are closing in on a contract with relief pitcher Brent Suter, according to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com. Suter has bounced between the rotation and bullpen throughout his 10-year MLB career, but has begun to settle in as a primary reliever over the past five campaigns. Last summer, the reliever spent his […]


Ty France Linked to Three Suitors Ahead of Spring Training

Free agent first baseman Ty France remains linked to several clubs on the open market.

Kyle Finnegan Not Expected to See Many Save Opportunities?

Detroit Tigers relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan may not see many save opportunities to open the season. On a recent podcast, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch broke down his bullpen plan for the start of the season. While he suggested that Kenley Jansen would be the favorite to open the season as the team's primary night-inning option, […]

Jhostynxon Garcia to Compete for Starting Role in Spring Training

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jhostynxon Garcia is expected to be in serious competition for a starting job during spring training. The Pirates acquired Garcia from the Red Sox earlier in December in a package that sent Johan Oviedo to Boston. Garcia made a brief debut in the major leagues last season, posting a .143/.333/.286 line […]


Spencer Jones Facing More Competition for Role on Opening Day Roster?

New York Yankees outfield prospect Spencer Jones will have a much tougher task to crack the Opening Day roster during spring training, following the signing of Cody Bellinger. Before Bellinger was slated to return to the Bronx, Jones was expected to be considered for a role in left field, competing alongside switch-hitter Jasson Dominguez. However, […]


Josue Briceno Invited to Big-League Camp

Detroit Tigers top catching prospect Josue Briceno was invited to MLB spring training. Briceno will join the team's other two top hitting prospects, Kevin McGonigle and Max Clark. Per MLB.com, Briceno is ranked as the sport's No. 33 prospect while he sits as Detroit's No. 3, sitting behind the two previously noted hitters. Briceno opened […]


Eduardo Quintero a Budding Star in Dodgers System?

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect Eduardo Quintero is emerging as a top dynasty asset ahead of the 2026 campaign. According to MLB.com, Quintero is currently listed as the team's No. 3 overall prospect and the No. 34-best prospect in the entire sport. Quintero spent most of the 2025 campaign in Low-A but earned a brief […]


Joshua Baez in Contention for Early MLB Promotion?

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez is a name to monitor during spring training as he could push for an early MLB promotion. Baez is currently ranked as the No. 14 prospect in the St. Louis system on MLB.com. Baez began the 2205 season in High-A, where he held a .317/.404/.483 slash line with […]


Nolan McLean Ticketed for Large Role in Starting Rotation?

New York Mets right-handed pitching prospect Nolan McLean is expected to operate in a lead role in the upcoming season. With the Mets missing out on left-handed starter Framber Valdez in free agency, their rotation looks set entering spring training. While newly-acquired right-hander Freddy Peralta will serve as the ace, McLean will likely slide in […]


Framber Valdez Signs Three-Year, $115 Million Contract With Tigers

Left-handed starting pitcher Framber Valdez has agreed to a three-year, $115 million contract with the Detroit Tigers, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN. Valdez was viewed as the top free agent starting pitcher on the market and will now join a rotation that features the two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner, Tarik Skubal. Passan noted […]


Red Sox Have "Lukewarm" Interest in Ramon Urias

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Boston Red Sox have checked in on infielder Ramon Urias, but currently have "lukewarm" interest in signing him ahead of spring training. The Red Sox have been linked to several infield free agents throughout the winter but have yet to agree to terms with any of them. Earlier […]


Josiah Gray Could Earn Opening Day Start

Washington Nationals right-handed pitcher Josiah Gray could get the starting nod on Opening Day, according to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com. Gray was sidelined for nearly the entire 2025 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2024. He returned to the bump late in 2025 in the minor leagues. Across a brief 5 2/3-inning stint, Gray […]


Luis Garcia Jr. a Candidate to Play First Base?

According to Jessica Camerato of MLB.com, the Nationals could explore shifting second baseman Luis Garcia Jr. to first base to begin the season. Last summer, Garcia was given a brief two-game stint at first base and could begin to take on a larger role there, given Washington's current roster. Additionally, the Nationals could turn to […]


Marlins Have Approached Jakob Marsee About Contract Extension

The Miami Marlins have approached young outfielder Jakob Marsee on a potential contract extension. Marsee made his MLB debut last summer and looked quite comfortable during his first taste of the major leagues. Through 55 contests, the 24-year-old held a .292/.363/.478 slash line with five long balls and 14 stolen bases. Under the hood, he […]


Jordan Leasure was Almost Traded to Red Sox

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Boston Red Sox nearly acquired Chicago White Sox right-handed pitcher Jordan Leasure in a trade. Last week, the Red Sox sent right-handed pitchers Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin to the White Sox in exchange for right-handed prospect Gage Ziehl. However, it appears the Red Sox were also very […]


Carson Benge was Not Considered in Trade With Brewers

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, New York Mets outfield prospect Carson Benge was never included in the package that brought right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta to Queens. This suggests that the Mets view Benge not only as a short-term answer but also as a long-term part of the team's future. Instead, the Mets traded […]


Ryan Sloan a Budding Arm in Seattle's System

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitching prospect Ryan Sloan is a name to closely monitor in dynasty formats ahead of the 2026 campaign. Sloan joined the Mariners in the second round (55th overall) in the 2024 MLB Draft out of York Community HS. After just one professional campaign, Sloan is now ranked as the sport's No. 44 […]


Can Mick Abel Take the Next Step in the Major Leagues?

Minnesota Twins right-handed pitcher Mick Abel has flashed immense upside in the minor leagues but has yet to show much consistency in the major leagues. Abel made his MLB debut with the Phillies in 2025 and logged 25 innings, posting a 5.04 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. He struck out 21 batters and allowed nine walks. […]


Didier Fuentes Primed for Rebound in Second MLB Stint?

Atlanta Braves right-handed pitching prospect Didier Fuentes made his MLB debut last summer but struggled during his first taste. Through 13 innings (four starts) in Atlanta, Fuentes posted a high 13.85 ERA with a 2.23 WHIP. The 20-year-old looked quite overmatched, striking out only 12 hitters and posting a high 8.7% walk rate. However, Fuentes […]


George Klassen a Name to Monitor in Los Angeles System

Los Angeles Angels right-handed pitching prospect George Klassen is a name to monitor during spring training. Klassen is currently considered the No. 3-ranked prospect in the system on MLB.com. In 2025, the right-hander spent the majority of the year in Double-A Rocket City before earning a brief six-inning stint at Triple-A Salt Lake. Across 102 […]
