Cal Raleigh’s 2025 season has become a power coronation. He’s sitting at 56 homers with 11 games remaining, on a pace for 60 and chasing the Mariners’ single-season marks while rewriting the record book for switch-hitters. He’s already passed Mantle for the most homers in a season by a switch-hitter and sits atop the AL RBI chart as Seattle rides a home-run tear into the stretch.

His remarkable May–June run, 101 runs and 115 RBIs, and 30 road HRs illustrate a season defined by elite power, timely production, and a shift in how fantasy managers value catchers with multi-positional appeal and monster counting stats.

The A’s close their season-ending road swing with stops in Boston and Pittsburgh, aiming to avenge Connelly Early’s dominant debut against them. They just swept the Reds, while Boston fights for a playoff berth. Jeffrey Springs works deeper as his innings tally climbs, testing endurance. Oakland reshuffles the lineup with Lawrence Butler starting against the lefty and Jacob Wilson moving to the 2-hole, while Tyler Soderstrom sits with a groin issue.

Late-season strategy, bullpen depth, and opportunistic offense define this trip as the A’s chase momentum andBoston pursues a wild-card pulse, with the Reds’ spoiler run in the rearview and the coming test against Early looming large for fantasy leaguers and bettors alike.

Konnor Griffin leads Eric Cross’ September 2025 dynasty rankings, with a crop of risers like Rainiel Rodriguez, Alfredo Duno, and Ryan Waldschmidt joining the top tier. Yesavage’s debut, plus Duno’s late-season power surge, underscore the mix of proximity and projection that fantasy managers crave.

The piece keys on PPP—profile, performance, projection—to balance long-term upside against near-term value, guiding dynasty rosters as the 2025 season closes and 2026 pivots begin.

Braves history flashes with a mix of all-time pitching, blazing speed, and era-defining power. Warren Spahn’s 1960 no-hitter with 15 Ks anchors a pitching peak, while Otis Nixon’s 1991 NL-leading 72 stolen bases collided with a 60-day suspension that altered that season’s playoff odds. Lance Johnson’s 1996 NL 20+ triples, Eddie Perez’s 1997 grand slam spree, and a quirky 2007 trio of Joneses show lineup quirks shaping franchise lore. MLB milestones—DiMaggio’s 300th HR, Bonds’ walk cadence, and Thome’s 500th HR—round this arc, offering fantasy projections and historical context for discerning rosters.
