    Dec 28 2025
    Segment 1 – Fantasy Questions of the NL West – Diamondbacks and Rockies

    Arizona Diamondbacks
    1.Geraldo Perdomo broke out in a big way in 2025 with 20 home runs, 27 stolen bases, and a .290 batting average. The data suggests being wary of repeats in power and speed. What do you say?
    2.Jordan Lawlar – AB, HR, SB, and BA
    3.Are the Diamondbacks going to go to war with Alek Thomas in center field and Blaze Alexander in left field? If so, do you have any interest in either?
    4.I’ve got Brandon Pfaadt wrong, as I thought he would be more than a 5.25 ERA pitcher. Any hope, or should I just move on?
    5.How many waiver wire articles will Kevin Ginkle make this year? – Over/Under - 2
    6.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

    Colorado Rockies
    1.Brenton Doyle – HR, SB, and BA for 2026
    a.He’s going as the 37th outfielder off the board. We will look around to see if it’s too high or too low.
    2.Kyle Karros (574), Zac Veen (494) and Adael Amador (590).
    a.According to RosterResource, they all will start the year with a job. Order them in how you would draft them. Do you have any real interest in any of them?
    3.Victor Vodnik has the Closer gig, I think. Uhh…you interested?
    4.How many wins do the Rockies get in 2026 – they were 43-119 in 2025
    5.Give me a sleeper in the organization (minor or majors)

    Segment 2 – News and Notes
    1.The Athletics trade for Jeff McNeil, with the Mets receiving Yordan Rodriguez.
    a.a. The Mets pay 5.75 million of McNeil’s contract, and it appears he will slot in at second base. Any interest? Would you have rather seen Darrel Hernaiz get some at-bats?
    b.b. Yordan Rodriguez is a young 17-year-old RHP with a fastball that can touch the mid-90s.
    2.The Marlins sign Pete Fairbanks
    a.The Marlins needed a closer and signed Fairbanks. I guess they think they can compete. What say you?
    3.The Pirates sign Ryan O’Hearn
    a.The Pirates are continuing to get better, maybe marginally, but this feels like what the Royals did two years ago when they signed several mid-level Major Leaguers and did ok. Your thoughts?

    a.Thoughts?
    3.The Pirates acquire Brandon Lowe in a complicated three-way trade
    a.The Pirates, Rays, and Astros completed an involved three-team deal on Friday afternoon. Pittsburgh receives 2B Brandon Lowe, OF Jake Mangum, and LHP Mason Montgomery from the Rays. Tampa Bay receives OF Jacob Melton and RHP Anderson Brito from the Astros, while Houston acquires RHP Mike Burrows from the Pirates to complete the trade.
    4.The Orioles acquired Shane Baz
    a.In return, the Rays receive two of their four top picks from July’s draft—OF Slater de Brun (one of my favorite players in the class) and catcher Caden Bodine—along with RHP Michael Forrett, OF Austin Overn, and a Competitive Balance Round A pick. All four players ranked inside my Orioles Top 20.
    5.The Padres re-sign Michael King for three years and $75 million with opt-outs after each year. The Padres were expected to reload a bit this season, but instead, re-signed King. Your thoughts?
    a.The Padres also signed Sung-Mun Song who posted a .315/.387/.530 slash line last year playing for the KBO with 26 home runs and 25 stolen bases. What can you tell us about him?
