Guardians Promote Travis Bazzana & Most Dropped Players! (4/28 Fantasy Baseball Podcast)

The Fantasy Baseball Today podcast for April 28, 2026, kicks off with major news: the Cleveland Guardians promoting top prospect Travis Bazzana, the 2024 first overall pick, to the majors. Hosts Frank Stample, Scott White, and Chris Towers debate Bazzana’s fantasy value, emphasizing his second base eligibility in a weak position and his high walk rate and stolen base potential, though they temper expectations due to his evolving skill set and lack of power projection. They compare him to Gleyber Torres and J.J. Hardy, suggesting he could be a top 15 second baseman in points leagues. The discussion shifts to Moises Ballesteros, the Cubs’ DH-only prospect who’s now showing power and hitting well, with potential catcher eligibility that could boost his fantasy appeal. The hosts highlight Ron Hair Suarez’s dominant start as a breakout pitcher and praise Ryan Bass for his kind gesture to a young fan after a stolen home run ball incident. The episode features a deep dive into the 'drop-o-meter,' with Luis Castillo, Jack Leiter, and Matthew Boyd all flagged as potential drop candidates in 12-team leagues due to poor recent performances, while Randy Vasquez and others are seen as borderline. The segment concludes with a fun team name round-up, featuring creative puns and pop culture references, including 'For Whom The Belly Tolls' and 'Guitar Hero' themed names.
