When it comes to playing in a dynasty league, the difference between winning and losing is knowing which under-the-radar players to add to your team – either now before the season or once the season is underway. It’s easy to know you should have Ronald Acuna or Julio Rodriguez in your lineup or go after Geritt Cole or Spencer Strider when putting your staff together.

But for you to win, you have to know who the Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players are. They aren’t the stars everyone wants, but they are often the players who are the difference between winning that title and finishing out of the playoffs altogether.

So welcome to the first week of the 2024 Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players. Throughout the year I’ll feature a player (or two) each week who I think is going to be solid dynasty player, whether that is right away or starting next season. 

Well, I think we have had enough of the small talk. Let’s dive into the player I want to focus on this week – Kutter Crawford of the Boston Red Sox.
