Rockies Journal: Taking a swing at MLB expansion, realignment
MLB is edging toward 32 teams with an eye on geographic realignment to trim travel, rethink schedules, and grow the game. The piece maps out four eight-team or eight four-team divisions, keeps the AL/NL, and moves Colorado to the American League South. A 156-game season and a 12-team playoff field are weighed, with front-runners Salt Lake City, Nashville, Portland, and Charlotte under consideration. Rockies fans could wake up as 2034 AL South champs amid vivid expansion chatter.
With MLB expansion on the horizon, which teams look best positioned to gain fantasy value from reduced travel and a more balanced schedule?How would the 156-game plan influence fantasy stats—do pitchers or hitters gain more?Which expansion cities and realignment ideas are most likely to impact fantasy rosters in 2034?Which playoff format (12 teams) would best suit fantasy baseball in an era of expansion?

Brewers clinch MLB playoff berth: Milwaukee becomes first team in 2025 postseason, eyes baseball's best record - CBSSports.com
Milwaukee clinched a playoff berth as the Mets dropped a 3-2 decision to Texas, sealing the Brewers’ postseason spot. At 90-58, Milwaukee sits six games up on the Cubs in the NL Central and eyes a division crown. After an 0-4 start and a 25-28 May, they surged to 65-30, pairing explosive offense with sturdy pitching. With a likely division title and a possible bye, rest and October roles will dominate discussions as Milwaukee pursues its first postseason series win since 2018. The Phillies look like the next NL contender to clinch.
What’s the strongest rest-based strategy Milwaukee might deploy down the stretch and into October?Which Brewers players are most likely to see expanded roles in October?How does Milwaukee’s current pace compare to their 2011/2018 division-year totals?What betting angles exist on Milwaukee’s path to the division title and potential bye?

Phillies' Trea Turner nears return, ready to swing bat after hamstring injury | Sporting News

Phillies' Trea Turner nears return, ready to swing bat after hamstring injury  | Sporting News

Turner landed on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain after beating out an infield single and coming up awkwardly at first base.

An MRI confirmed the strain; the earliest he could return is Sept. 19 in the three-game set with Arizona, but a full return that soon isn’t expected as he ramps up with pole runs and catch work and will swing a bat soon.

Philadelphia will monitor progress and map a late-season plan to get Turner some at-bats before October, a move that could determine their postseason push and power the lineup in a tight NL race.

What is Turner's current rehab status and expected return date, and how should fantasy teams position for his late-season return?How could Turner's absence reshape the Phillies' lineup for the final weeks and potential postseason lineup?Which Phillies players are likely to see extra at-bats during Turner’s IL stint?What are the health risks if Turner re-aggravates the hamstring in October, and how should you hedge?

As Mets try to avoid collapse, members of the 2007 team offer advice

Old Mets habits meet the 2025 club in a tight playoff chase. Beltrán and Reyes urge aggression and trust, while 2007 veterans stress one-at-a-time focus and avoiding past mistakes. The current rotation is stretched, with Senga in the minors and rookies McLean, Tong and Sproat stepping in, just as a seven-game slide tests a team that once fought through a late-season collapse for a wild-card shot.

With 14 games left and an expanded format, this Mets can still rally, but it requires staying in the moment, as Delgado and Lo Duca advise about efficient at-bats and backing teammates. Alumni Randolph sees talent plus rhythm as the recipe to finish strong, turning a potential fade into a sprint toward the post-season.

With 14 games left and an expanded wild-card, which Mets players are prime to flip the script this week?Should the Mets alter lineup strategy to mirror a more aggressive 2007 approach?Which rookie arms in NYM’s rotation hold true fantasy value down the stretch?What’s the single best bet for NYM to gain ground in the wildcard race this week?Which Phillies or Giants indicators should Mets bettors monitor in the coming series?

Eric Cross' Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds: Hitters, Pitchers for Week 25 (2025) | Fantasy News
Late-season waiver targets under 40% rostered rise for Week 25: Daylen Lile, Otto Kemp, Harrison Bader, Jake Burger, Andrew Benintendi, Joey Cantillo, Parker Messick. These adds bring speed, multi-position flexibility and late-season power for the final two weeks. Lile anchors the Nationals’ late push with strong contact and speed; Kemp and Bader offer PHI depth and sprint upside; Cantillo and Messick provide CLE depth with strike-throwing and upside; Burger and Benintendi deliver pop as rosters tighten.
Among Daylen Lile, Otto Kemp, and Harrison Bader, who should fantasy managers prioritize for Week 25 given their schedules and positions?Is Parker Messick a viable option for a two-start week, considering matchups vs White Sox and Twins?With Joey Cantillo showing a 51% whiff rate on his changeup, should you ride him through a tougher Detroit start or stash for future weeks?How should you handle Jake Burger and Andrew Benintendi given Bohm IL timelines and lefty matchup risk?
