Heading into Week 5 of the 2025 MLB season, fantasy baseball managers are reassessing their rosters. The spotlight is on players who have started strong but are showing signs of decline and may need to be dropped. Kyren Paris of the Los Angeles Angels, with a staggering drop in performance, exemplifies this. After a hot start, his recent struggles suggest that his early success may have been deceptive.

Meanwhile, Carlos Correa of the Minnesota Twins, despite a solid past season, is facing his own challenges with health concerns that have impacted his performance this year. On the other hand, Willy Adames of the San Francisco Giants remains a player to hold for now, as his track record suggests a potential turnaround. Christian Walker of the Houston Astros has shown recent improvement, which indicates he could be a strong asset moving forward. Vinnie Pasquantino of the Kansas City Royals, however, finds himself on the hot seat after a lackluster start. The article also encourages reader engagement for future discussions on players needing analysis.
