Fairbanks was solid, bordering on elite in 2025, with 27 saves and a 2.83 ERA.i.Who does he sign with?ii.And more importantly, who is the closer in Tampa?4.Shane Bieber surprises by exercising his option, staying with the Blue Jays.a.He turned down a huge payday to stay with the Blue Jays. Is there a long-term deal in the making?5.Trevor Story is staying put in Bostona.After his huge season in 2025, where he hit 25 home runs and stole 31 bases, is he a safe bet for a number #1 shortstop in 2026, or are you going to bypass him in drafts given his injury history?6.The Orioles acquire Andrew Kittredge, and I'm assuming he will be their closer with Felix Bautista missing the 2026 season.a.He's a Top _____________ closer for you in 2026Segment 2 – Fantasy Questions of the AL Central – Tigers, Royals, and TwinsDetroit Tigers1.When do we see Kevin McGonigle? – July 15a.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 240 AB, 10 HR, .265 BA2.Spencer Torkelson has had 31 home runs in the past three years, with a 10-home-run clunker in the middle. The even/odd theory says expect a tough season. The data says he has above-average exit velo, but a huge leverage swing to reach his power, and too many strikeouts (26%).a.What say you?3.Casey Mize finally had a solid season after going 1:1 in 2018. He posted a 3.87 ERA (xERA 3.69) but with only an 8.4 strikeout rate. a.Mize is a top ___________ pitcher.b.Where will you be interested if he falls in drafts, or will you?4.Will Vest get at least 25 saves next season – true or false?5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)Kansas City Royals1.Bobby Witt hit the ball harder in 2025 with an elite exit velo of 93.3 MPH with the same launch angle, yet he only hit 23 home runs. That makes no sense to me.a.I'm expecting 30+ home runs next season. What say you?2.Carter Jensen is my #1 prospect in the Royals system. Sal Perez is on a team-friendly 13.5 million contract extension. How many at-bats do you see Jensen getting?a.Is he someone who interests you?3.Jack Caglianonea.Stat line for 2026 – AB, HR, BA – 32 HRs, .195 BA4.Cole Ragans didn't live up to his lofty draft slot, but also spent three months on the IL.

The power wasn't there though as he only hit 13 home runs and a .388 SLG. He still hits the ball hard enough with plenty of loft to project at least 20 to 25 home runs.a.Do we see a bit of a bounce back?b.Does it matter because we know he's going to get hurt?3.Pablo Lopez has two years remaining on his four-year deal with $21.75 million per season.
