Injuries reshape fantasy rosters as Alvarez lands on the IL and Neto leaves a roster void. Bichette’s knee, Suzuki’s illness, and Muncy’s late-season drift inject risk, while Bello’s struggles and Baz’s volatility sharpen Week calls for streaming and drops. The insiders track flags a path: cut the obvious castoffs, chase upside in short windows, and be ready to ride Baz, Tong, Littell, and others for a spark.

Two themes emerge: dynasty value remains worth holding; redraft rosters must trim, and fetch upside via trades or streaming. The show stresses quick, precise moves and using IL slots wisely to squeeze a few breakout weeks to the finish.

Nolan McLean shines as Mets’ rookie spark at the top of fantasy rosters, while Pete Alonso and Juan Soto carry a Mets offense that has heaters blazing in September. The duo headlines a surge from the Mets’ lineup, with Alonso piling up homers and RBI and Soto showing multi-category fire. George Springer’s IL-recovery hot-streak, Julio Rodríguez’s continued torrid pace, and Cal Raleigh’s power stretch fuel late-season rosters. Additions like Adley Rutschman and Bo Bichette spark deeper league intrigue as waiver activity heats up.

Across the slate, sleeper arms like Nolan McLean emerge as must-roster in many formats, even as risk remains. Mound notes contrast with Mets’ bats; top-tier veterans hold steady, while injury timelines for Tucker and Co. shape week-to-week lineups. A blend of power, speed, and strategic pitching moves defines the fantasy air in this late-season stretch.

As fantasy baseball draft weekend approaches, key insights on player rankings and sleeper picks come into focus. Notably, Bo Bichette's spring performance has reignited optimism, with impressive stats including a .366 batting average and four home runs, leading to a significant rise in his draft positioning. Jeremy Peña and Christopher Sánchez are also highlighted; Peña aims to bounce back in a pivotal season, while Sánchez's strong spring suggests he could be a valuable late-round pick. Additionally, prospects like Christian Campbell are generating buzz, potentially offering high upside if they make the roster.

The Toronto Blue Jays find themselves in familiar territory, as they pursue free agent Roki Sasaki amid a landscape filled with competitive teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres. The Blue Jays have been aggressive in their approach, recognizing Sasaki's potential impact on their struggling rotation. While optimism exists, insiders suggest the Dodgers and Padres remain frontrunners due to their established star-studded rosters and winning environments. The Blue Jays, however, have demonstrated a commitment to revamping their roster, having previously finished as runners-up in the quest for top-tier talents.

The conversation shifts to the challenges surrounding the extensions of key players like Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette. There's skepticism regarding the Blue Jays' ability to retain these stars, given their lack of recent success in contract negotiations and the looming free agency each player faces. Guerrero Jr. is particularly in the spotlight, with speculation about his future amidst links to other major market teams. The front office's approach has drawn criticism, as the need to be more aggressive in negotiations appears crucial for the team's future trajectory.
