The Brewers asked the baseball world to hold their beers on Friday night while they brewed up a blowout, and switched from pounding beers to pounding the Cincinnati Reds to the tune of a 20-0 shut out on twenty-three hits, and four home runs. This was somehow Milwaukee’s second twenty run shut out this year […]

Yesterday, Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 as he was activated from the IL. He was slotted right back into right field, which is perhaps the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Only thing dumber might be paying a red-light camera. They can’t make you pay. This is legal advice from a fantasy baseball ‘pert. Call me into […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Connor Norby aka Con-Nor is again the Rockies pulling a fast one on an unsuspecting trade partner. Here’s the Rockies’ front office, “Who will we tantalizingly ruse this time? The Marlins? Okay, watch this,” then they do a move that you’re just left to wonder, “Are the Rockies so insanely dumb that they’re smart?” It’s […]

Something seems to have shifted in the world of prospect promotions. Everyone kind of understands that it’s worthwhile to bring your best prospects up to the majors at the end of a season if they’re going to start the following season on the major league roster.
Padres C Ethan Salas (20) should help the fathers push for a playoff spot. I can’t say I’m surprised he’s been promoted after including Salas on the Stash List last weekend, but it’s still cool to see someone make the baseball-smart decisions in a world where almost everyone else prioritizes money-cautious decisions.

Gavin Williams (7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners (1 BB), 13 Ks, ERA at 3.81) might have the record for most ledes in one calendar year, and he only has a 3.81 ERA! Has any pitcher ever been so good while seeming so bad? Sorry, he’s excellent. Also, he’s got a near-4 ERA? I’m not […]

Mariners went out and got Taylor Ward at the deadline and ever since they’ve been like: [pokes Taylor Ward with a stick] “Uh, is he supposed to move?” [lights end of stick with a fire, takes burning ember and pokes Taylor Ward again] “No, he’s a goner. Sad. I guess toss him into the Puget […]

1. Guardians 1B Ralphy Velazquez (21, AAA)
This one, I don’t get. Not that I grok the concept behind all these other non promotions. “Grok” by the way, used to exist exclusively in the world of Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein; It referred to something like a deep, complete understanding. Super cool of Elon to kill that word. Velazquez has 21 home runs in 73 Triple-A games, and he’s hit 17 of those home runs in his last 25 games, including another one during a three-hit game on Friday. He’s the hottest hitter on the planet right now, and Cleveland is 1.5 games ahead of Texas for the final wild card spot. Seems like they could use a hot hitter.

Team Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Level | ETA
1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2027
2. Pirates RHP Seth Hernandez | 19 | A+ | 2027
3. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson | 21 | AA | 2026
4. Red Sox SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027
5. Athletics SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027
The top group feels much stronger than usual for this time of year, between the exodus of rookies and the incoming draft class. Hernandez is the exciting teenage righty since Jose Fernandez, one of my all-time favorite players. May he rest in peace.

We’re deep, deep, deep, and these guys might not be playable. The top 100 outfielders for 2026 fantasy baseball are your flyers in most leagues, and your 5th and 6th outfielders in deep leagues. Keep in mind, we have NL-Only rankings, and AL-Only rankings. If you have no need for these outfielders in your league, think […]

26. Marlins LHP Robby Snelling | 22 | AAA | 2026
In 11 Triple-A starts this season, Snelling recorded a 1.27 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with 81 strikeouts and 17 walks in 63.2 innings. He might’ve been a major leaguer a month ago if Miami had any incentive to promote him. Should open next season in the rotation unless he gets edged out for a month or so by bargain signings.

1. OF Lazaro Montes | 21 | AA | 2027
At 6’5” 215 pounds, Montes has slimmed down without sacrificing power as he’s climbed the organizational ladder. In 131 games split almost evenly between High-A and Double-A, the big lefty smashed 32 home runs, stole seven bases and slashed .241/.354/.504 with a 29 percent strikeout rate. The strikeouts have invited a fair share of doubters, but I think Montes will make enough impact on contact to become a mainstay in fantasy lineups.
