Myles Straw’s late-career revival with Toronto has been a fantasy-friendly surprise. After flirting with retirement in 2024, he re-emerged as a steady regular in the Jays’ outfield, displaying defender-like versatility, strong baserunning, and a solid contact game. At 116 games, he’s posted a .272 mark with 4 homers, 30 RBIs, and 11 stolen bases, anchored by a 2.9 WAR—the best since 2021 in a multi-team stretch. His value hinges on playing time, but his speed and defensive flexibility keep him as a potential multi-position asset in deeper formats.

With Toronto loading the lineup around Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, and Bo Bichette, Straw’s role as a center-fielder capable of contributing in multiple spots adds a crucial dynamic. The subplot involves Toronto’s pursuit of top pitching (Roki Sasaki) and how Straw’s steady defense and baserunning can help the Jays remain unpredictable. For fantasy, Straw’s mixture of speed and position utility makes him worth a hold in deeper leagues and a watch-list candidate in standard formats if his PT stays secure.
