On The Wire - In this episode of On The Wire, hosts Kevin Hasting and I break down the Saves category and how to approach closers in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts. We discuss draft strategy, bullpen volatility, and how to identify which closers are worth paying for versus targeting value later in drafts. We also look at several bullpens that could produce surprise saves and highlight relievers who could emerge during the season. Whether you prefer paying up for elite closers or waiting and building a bullpen through value picks and waiver wire churn, this episode will help you navigate one of fantasy baseball's most unpredictable categories. Episode Breakdown 0:00 – Intro and episode overview We open the show discussing the volatility of the saves category and why bullpen roles change so frequently in fantasy baseball. Players discussed: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Josh Hader 3:00 – Draft philosophy for saves Kevin and Adam discuss whether fantasy managers should draft elite closers early or take a “save-a-lot” approach by targeting multiple value arms later in drafts. Players discussed: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Josh Hader, Mason Miller, Ryan Helsley 11:30 – The elite closer tier Discussion of the top-tier closers who provide strong strikeout rates, stable roles, and league-leading save potential. Players discussed: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Josh Hader, Ryan Helsley, Mason Miller, Félix Bautista 23:00 – Mid-tier closers with strong job security Relievers who may not go in the early rounds but still project to deliver reliable saves totals with strong skills. Players discussed: Tanner Scott, Robert Suarez, Kenley Jansen, David Bednar, Yohan Duran 36:30 – Riskier closers and uncertain bullpens Teams where the closer role could shift during the season and relievers whose job security may not be stable. Players discussed: Luke Weaver, Andrew Kittredge, Jeremiah Estrada, Matt Brash, Cade Smith 50:00 – Late-round saves targets Relievers going later in drafts who could still provide meaningful saves or emerge as their team's closer. Players discussed: Matt Brash, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Garrett Whitlock 1:02:00 – Speculative relievers and potential breakout arms Setup men and high-skill bullpen arms who could move into the closer role if situations change. Players discussed: Jeremiah Estrada, Dylan Lee, Aroldis Chapman, Matt Brash, Hunter Gaddis 1:11:30 – Final saves strategy thoughts We wrap up with key takeaways for approaching the saves category and how to manage bullpen volatility during the fantasy season.

The Toronto Blue Jays made a major impact on the baseball world when they won the AL pennant and came within a game of winning the World Series this past season. However, just because they got so close to a title doesn't mean they didn't see room for improvement, and with one fell swoop, they found themselves a new potential ace for their rotation.On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman talk about the mega deal that Dylan Cease received from the Blue Jays, as he finalized a 7-year, $210 million contract to hopefully lead them right back to the World Series next year. Did Toronto jump the gun a little too quickly to bring in the seven-year veteran or were they right to strike before any other team could bid for Cease's services?Later, Jake and Jordan discuss the other moves that saw pitchers finding new homes, including the Boston Red Sox trading for St. Louis Cardinals starter Sonny Gray, the New York Mets signing Devin Williams to a three-year deal and the Baltimore Orioles bringing in Ryan Helsley to help with their bullpen. Then the guys take a look back at their bold predictions for the 2025 season and whether any actually came true.2:31 — The Opener: Cease to Toronto25:03 — Scott Boras Scoreboard update29:27 — We Need To Talk About: Sonny to Boston42:33 — Around The League: Devin & Helsley's new homes55:04 — Turbo Mode: '25 predictions recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

On deck: (6:31) We're past the halfway point of the NFL season. I'll review what the first half has provided, which teams are legit? Which aren't? And of course, look back at an interesting Week 10 in the league. (41:15) Indiana and Oregon hang on to win close games on the road. Texas Tech takes care of BYU and Virginia loses badly at home. Will the college football playoff committee stand pat? Or will they shake things up a little when it comes to realigning the playoff seeds? (48:48) The Detroit Pistons have fired on all cylinders, winning six straight and are at the top of the Eastern Conference. (56:35) On the ice, things have been relatively the same as I'll peek at what's happening in the NHL. (1:00:49) Two MLB relievers have been indicted on pitch rigging games earlier this year.

On Episode 991 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, the Good Phight's John Stolnis, Justin Klugh of Baseball Prospectus and editor of SABR's Baseball Research Journal Liz Roscher offer their predictions on what Dave Dombrowski will do at the Trade Deadline this Thursday. Relievers? Bats? Both? Neither? Also, Bryce Harper goes nose-to-nose with Rob Manfred in a heated clubhouse meeting over a potential salary cap, and we recap a mostly good series in the Bronx and a bad start to their series in Chicago Monday night. Takeaways The Phillies are struggling to maintain consistent performance, especially against weaker teams. JT Real Muto's resurgence has significantly improved the Phillies' lineup. The trade deadline is approaching, and the Phillies need to prioritize bullpen help. Bryce Harper's vocal stance against a salary cap highlights player concerns about management's intentions.
