This group of starting pitchers will be a fun one to rank. I've still got deep dives to do but my early lean is to rank them in this order for 2026 redraft leagues:
Chase Burns
Nolan McLean
Emmet Sheehan
Trey Yesavage
Cam Schlittler
Jacob Misiorowski

Thinking out loud but I wonder if the Orioles' hiring of Craig Albernaz could lead to more steals as a team next season. He's coming over from the Guardians, where they ranked 8th in SB as a team since Stephen Vogt took over.

Juan Soto (and other Mets) credited Richardson for helping improve improve their running game. This adds another variable to one of the biggest questions for next season in Fantasy: Soto's stolen bases
@JeffPassan tweeted
The New York Mets and first-base coach Antoan Richardson have not come to terms on a new contract and Richardson is expected to leave the organization, sources told ESPN. Richardson was lauded for his work with Mets baserunners and will seek another job when his contract expires.

Another year goes by, a different team celebrates in Yankee Stadium. The worst part is wasting away historic seasons from Judge.
Anywho, congrats to the Blue Jays and their fans. You were the better team all season long. Even more impressive doing it without Bo Bichette.

I enjoyed it! We’ll be doing something similar on the pod soon as recap positions and take a look at early 2026 ranks.
I offered both the 30,000-foot *AND* the in-the-weeds view of the catcher position to kick off the offseason at the FBT Newsletter, looking at the biggest rankings risers and fallers, previewed the offseason, and more.

Connelly Early was awesome in his debut!
5 shutout, 5 H, 1 BB, 11 K, had 19 whiffs on 90 pitches
He threw 68% of his pitches for strikes, had five-pitch mix and sinker/slider both dominated. It's been a fun run for rookie pitchers over the past month!
