7 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions - Dan Palyo's 2025 Picks

Who doesn't love some preseason bold predictions? I usually try to avoid making extremely hyperbolic statements and predictions and tend to focus more on grinding the data to find the answers I am looking for, but what fun is that? "Go big or go home" is what they say, right? If you're going to be […]

Zac Veen Optioned To Minors

Colorado Rockies outfielder Zac Veen has been optioned to minor league camp on Sunday. The Rockies have been some interesting decisions lately.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger has been released by the organization on Sunday. Haniger began his career with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2016, but was traded Seattle in 2017.

5 Outfield Fantasy Baseball Breakouts - Undervalued Hitters With Upside (2025)

For most typical Best Ball contests, hitters are divided into just two categories: infield and outfield. Because infield is a combination of more positions, and you can never have enough pitching, outfield can sometimes be where rosters are stretched extremely thin. While some of the best bats come from the very top of the position, […]

Nolan Jones Traded To Guardians

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones has been traded to the Cleveland Guardians on Saturday. Jones was scratched ahead of Saturday's contest, so now that makes sense why he was benched.

Victor Robles Exits Early On Saturday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (hand) was forced to exit early during Saturday's spring training contest. Robles appeared to be in significant pain after taking a pitch off his hand.

Jerar Encarnacion Diagnosed With Fractured Hand

San Francisco Giants outfielder Jerar Encarnacion (hand) has been diagnosed with a fractured left hand, according to the team.

Masataka Yoshida Won't Make Opening Day Roster

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that outfielder/designated hitter Masataka Yoshida (shoulder) will start the 2025 season at Triple-A Worcester as he continues to build out his throwing program as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez is penciled in as the center fielder for Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho (shoulder) will begin the season on the injured list, according to manager John Schneider. While it was thought this was going to be the case all along, it was confirmed by Schneider on Saturday. Varsho had been working as the team's DH this spring and was posting good results, […]

7 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions - Eric Cross' 2025 Picks

In the wise words of Pepper Brooks in Dodgeball, "That's a bold fantasy baseball projection, Cotton; let's see if it pays off for 'em." Okay, Jason Bateman used the word strategy instead of "fantasy baseball projection" but you get the point. As the 2025 domestic opening day inches closer, it's time to have some fun […]
