Dusty and I continue our positional previews for 2026. We combine a look back but mostly look ahead approach, evaluating options for the outfield position. We go in order of current ADP for NFBC Draft Champions. We cover 40 players and will continue with two more pods covering the rest of the field

Randy Haines and I continue our team previews with the Toronto Blue Jays. The pods are not meant to be a deep dive into each and every player on each team, but more so identifying some interesting ADP's (Draft Champions), items of importance on their depth charts - either with paths for players in playing time or vice versa- any how some recent news may dictate some player interest.
Toronto
Jeff Hoffman is not draftable at current ADP with recent rumors ? Whats the price where it becomes comfortable to take a shot?
Gausman/Bieber/Yesavage all going within a round of each other
Early drafters not buying Nathan Lukes
Berrios post 400 in DCs is appealing
Louie Varland starter or reliever?

Tampa Bay
Close - Uceta vs Jax vs the field
Does the Yandy trade finally happen? Who benefits most if it does?
Carson Williams chances of being the primary SS?
McClanahan cost through the offseason
Their catcher depth chart is ugly enough it makes Dominic Keegan semi interesting (hasn’t been drafted yet this year) not good first try at AAA but 125 wRC+ or better at every stop prior

New York
They have to add an SP for front quarter of the season
Rodon vs Cole with a 100 pick difference?
Who is Bednar's handcuff?
Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz likely gets a shot at some point, big K number jump last year after he got to NYY

Sonny Gray trade - rotation fallout
Connelly Early price going forward?
Some crowded offensive spots
Who takes over the Rob Refsnyder role?
Harrison/Crawford/Sandoval interest post pick 475?
Whitlock weirdly expensive at 436? Considering he goes around plenty of SPs
