Through the first half of the season, fantasy baseball managers have seen many top prospects get the call and make an immediate impact. Players like Carson Benge, JJ Wetherholt, and Kevin McGonigle began the season in the majors, and Konnor Griffin followed shortly thereafter. Others like Cole Carrigg and A.J. Ewing were called up more recently […]

Every MLB team has now played at least 90 games, meaning the season is nearly 60% complete. As with every season, there are underperforming hitters compared to where they were taken in drafts coming into the year. While it's always frustrating for a poor first half from one of your premium picks, that doesn't mean […]

The All-Star break affords us a chance to press pause and take stock of our strengths, weaknesses, and potential avenues to success. Some years, I take a wide stance with this column and include an aggressive number of players who are rostered in a healthy swath of leagues, but we're going to zoom in a […]

Stashing high-end prospects ahead of their call-up can be the difference between winning and losing your fantasy league. Last summer, those who stashed Nick Kurtz ahead of his midseason call-up were rewarded with a top-10 hitter. In this piece, we will highlight two of the top pitching prospects in the game, including one budding superstar […]

Every season, fantasy players look for those guys who go late in drafts or are totally undrafted. We pride ourselves on finding "our guys" that other people might not believe in, or guys they have misapplied value to in their preparation.  There have been a handful of waiver-wire players who have turned into fantasy superstars. […]

The Athletics selected the contract of right-handed pitching prospect Yunior Tur from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, according to Jason Burke of Inside the A's. Tur will make his major-league debut to begin the second half of the 2026 season after posting a 4.41 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 64:26 K:BB in 51 innings pitched across […]

The Athletics are calling up corner-infield prospect Tommy White from Triple-A Las Vegas, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN. The former star at LSU and second-round pick in the 2024 draft hit a combined .303/.353/.465 with an .818 OPS, 10 home runs, 64 RBI, 53 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 76 games with […]

Athletics rookie infielder Joshua Kuroda-Grauer has looked great early on in his first taste of the major leagues, going 19-for-45 (.422) with five doubles, an RBI, and four runs scored in his first 12 games since being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 out of Rutgers is considered the […]

Athletics relief pitcher Hogan Harris reached the break with six saves, a 3.43 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, and 56 strikeouts in 42 innings. The save total catches the eye. The timing does not. Harris has not converted one since June 12, and 27 walks have made nearly every inning feel heavier than it should. He is […]

Athletics right-handed reliever Elvis Alvarado may not have the best numbers in his second season in the big leagues, but he's still in the late-inning mix in Sacramento for the A's, making him worth a look in deep fantasy leagues for managers desperate for saves. The 27-year-old Dominican hurler went 3-3 with a 4.94 ERA […]

Since being acquired from the Atlanta Braves in early May, Athletics catcher Jonah Heim has re-established his MLB career. Across 135 plate appearances with the A's, Heim is hitting .232/.281/.464 with eight home runs, 21 RBI, and 16 runs scored. The presence of star Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers limits Heim's playing time behind the plate. […]

The first half of the fantasy season is in the books. Over the opening months, managers have seen many high-end prospects earn the call and make a massive impact. While we have not seen the performances we saw from James Wood, Junior Caminero, and Nick Kurtz last season, several prospects have begun to show flashes. In […]

The All-Star break is here, bringing us to the unofficial halfway point of the season. In reality, teams have completed around 60% of their games, and the second half of the fantasy baseball season is significantly shorter, and the time to make meaningful additions to your teams, whether via trades or the waiver wire, is […]

The 2026 All-Star break has finally arrived, which means the trade deadline is quickly approaching. While it may be a bit too early to tell who will be traded, rumblings have begun to surface, especially around teams that had their sights set on competing but have fallen short in the first half. In this piece, […]

In the opening months of the 2026 campaign, managers have seen many top-ranked prospects not only earn the call to their respective MLB roster, but perform at an elite level, such as Gage Jump, Cole Carrigg, Payton Tolle, and Konnor Griffin.

Below, we will check in on three emerging prospects at the Triple-A level and determine whether they are worthy […]

We've finally reached the All-Star break. For some teams, it's much needed. Teams like the Padres may be thankful that they can take a week to relax and recalibrate after a nasty slide. Others, like the Mets, may simply be thankful to not have ot play games for a while. Others are seeing their seasons […]

Targeting the top prospects ahead of their promotion to the majors can not only save managers a major portion of their FAAB budget, but also provide them with a high-upside player to keep on the bench. Below, we will spotlight three prospects who have begun to put themselves on the stash radar ahead of the […]

Since being called up from Triple-A to make his MLB debut on May 13, Athletics outfielder Henry Bolte has hit .261/.343/.347 with three home runs, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases. The 22-year-old owns a 66.4% ground ball rate, which limits his power upside. However, he's logged a 46.3% hard-hit rate and […]

Athletics left-hander Gage Jump finished the first half of the 2026 season 3-4 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 48 strikeouts in 48 2/3 innings pitched (nine starts). This is Jump's first taste of MLB, and overall he has been fairly solid, especially given that he pitches half his games at Sutter Health Park, […]

The first half of the 2026 MLB season will be in the books. MLB All-Star break is next week, and we kick off the second half of the year on Thursday night with the Phillies vs. Mets. There is still plenty of baseball to be played and enough to make a run in the standings. […]
