Prospect News: Top 25 For 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026

A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

Prospect News: Never Met A Pricier Maybe or Bichette, Please

I couldn’t stop circling the same thought Friday in the aftershock of Kyle Tucker to Los Angeles then Bo Bichette to New York: these Mets look like the worst team you could put together while spending $336 million. Their ace is Nolan McLean: a prospect I really like but also an inexperienced rookie. All rookies lack experience, but McLean was a two-way player until just a few years ago. Again, no shade, it’s just weird to spend $336 million on a baseball team and have mostly question marks on the pitching staff.

The rankings start on Monday! [rings a giant bell like it’s an 18th century Christmas tale] “The rankings start on Monday,” he screams bloody murder at a wretched soul. Okay, enough screaming and let’s get back to business. Wait, one more scream: The Dodgers spent more money while 29 other teams do nothing! Marlins will […]

2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings: 200-176

January 14, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 24 Comments

Another week is in the books, meaning I welcome you back for another installment of the 2026 Dynasty Rankings. After two weeks of looking at huge chunks of players, we finally get down to the smaller groupings of 25 players each week.

There are a few players in the below rankings that could be much better than where they are currently ranked. If I am building a team from scratch and doing these rankings, I’d bump them up. But not everyone is building from scratch – they are trying to fill holes and thus care more about the present than the upside some players may have. So my balancing act means the players landed in this group.

Prospect News: Edward Becomes A Cubrera or Is Matt Shawt?

I’m looking at fresh powder for the first time since beginning the organizational top ten prospect reports, and I probably need to re-read all 30 before I start to reorder the top 100 and first-year-player-draft rankings. 

One guy who figures to move up is Cubs C Moises Ballesteros. If you read Grey’s 2026 Fantasy Outlook for Ballesteros, you might remember I was skeptical that he’d actually be part of the team’s 2026 regular lineup after they ignored him in the playoffs.
