Happy Monday, Razzball faithful!

Can you hear that rustling in the bushes?

Yep. Those bushes. Right over there.

If you look closely, you can see the shining, beady eyes of MLB GMs crouched and waiting to pounce on unsuspecting sellers as they shop their pending free agents and “non-bargain-priced” talent. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Zen And The Art Of Fantasy Baseball: The Unexamined Player Is Not Worth Rostering

A recent case in point is Jake Bennett, pitcher for the Boston Red Sox. He is undoubtedly off to a great start to his MLB career, as he’s put together 59.1 innings of a 2.58 ERA and a 0.94 WHIP. He’s also collected 6 wins, which is fantasy gold but also probably more the result of the recent Red Sox hot streak than it is a stat that gives us an idea what to predict moving forward. But when readers and friends have asked me what I’ve thought of him, I’ve had to basically shrug my shoulders and say that I wasn’t sure yet.

Points Leagues: July Vibes Check

As we draw near the end of the month, it’s time to once again take a look at some guys who have been bringing the positivity and some who have been dragging things down lately. Injuries are, of course, the biggest vibe killers of all, so we’ll be ignoring those in our considerations. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Late Saturday night, the Red Sox traded Connelly Early to the Nats for Curtis Mead. Check out Curtis Mead’s trade tree: Curtis Mead was traded from the Phils to the Rays for Cristopher Sanchez. Oofa! Who says the Rays always get the best side of a trade? Please, blog, may I have some more?

Fantasy Baseball H2H Streamers – Week 18: Fantasy In France

The streamers can be difficult at this part of the season because things are bizarre after the All-Star break. What makes it even more strange is that we have the trade deadline right around the corner, but it’s a fascinating time to rebuild your roster. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Two-Start Pitcher Rankings, 7/27 – 8/2

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 17:00:47 +0000

Razzball, welcome back for another week!

Chris Sale will be the focus this week, and after an injury riddled 2025, he has definitely bounced back similar to his 2024 Cy Young season. Sale currently has a 2.19 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and an 11-6 record. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Prospect News: Thornton Could Get Wilder or Campbell’s On The Stove

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Sun, 26 Jul 2026 07:00:31 +0000

Mets LHP Zac Thornton (24) has authored a bright chapter during a dreary season for New York. A fifth-round pick in 2023, he’s got a 1.91 ERA and 0.86 WHIP through four outings covering 23.1 innings. He also recorded a 1.98 ERA and 0.81 WHIP in 72.2 innings across High-A and Double-A last season, so this kind of dominance isn’t entirely new to Thornton, who may not have many innings left in the chamber considering he’s at 86 already and that 72.2 is the highest single-season number he’s hit as a professional. The Mets will likely spend some money to fill out their rotation heading into 2027, but Thornton is already sneaking into that picture.

Waiver Wire Week 18: Gelof The Great

It’s hard to believe, but we’ve hit the stretch run of the season. Most teams only have 50-60 games remaining, and the trade deadline is right around the corner. That’s always one of the most fascinating times to scrounge the waiver wire because there are the occasional league-winners after some trades. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Top 100 Hitters: Trade Deadline Approach

grey@razzball.com (Grey Albright) — Sat, 25 Jul 2026 18:00:43 +0000

Three weeks isn’t supposed to change everything. Then again, fantasy baseball has never been interested in following the script. Since our last trip through the Top 100, we’ve seen MVP candidates land on the injured list, waiver-wire darlings turn into every-week studs, and a handful of former “nice stories” become legitimate building blocks for the rest of the season. Of course, not every arrow points up. Injuries have forced difficult decisions, prolonged slumps have become harder to excuse, and with the trade deadline around the corner, a few players are about to see their fantasy value change overnight. Time for another shuffle as we look at our Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the season.
