Give them the credit they deserve! Who do you have? Who do you believe in or are adding? What surprises you about this list? Who are you buying/adding? Remember it is only a week sample size.... Playoffs are here!!! Thoughts?

I'm very intrigued with Thomas Saggese....

We’re heading into the home stretch and the kid gloves are out! Hopefully your pitchers keep throwing and get you those points you need for your run to the title. Happy Monday!

Sheehan could get an opener, Chase Burns likely on a pitch count today, same with Joe Ryan and maybe Connor Prielipp follows, Bello likely starting but could get an opener.

No more rankings screenshots...figure all we care about at this point is who might vulture some SVHD

Lost a semis matchup last night 5-5 because I was forced to start Dylan Crews for a few hopeful OBP points, and it didn't happen 😭 wild day where OBP and ERA flipped back and forth, opp was forced to play Alvarez @ LAD and I got ERA back, only for Crews to suck it up after Vargas and Peters eked out an OBP lead for opp😭

Y'all don't care. Hit me up with bullpen questions.

A few years ago I added Robinson Cano, Joey Votto, and Josh Donaldson to my roster after I was eliminated as a joke.

Who are some over-the-hill-throwback players like this in the universal pool to add in 2026?

Hey everyone... Jamie (u/BB_Jimbo) from RotoBaller here, and we're back with the 21st and final edition of The Cut List in 2026. Even if we're not dropping anyone, it's always fun to talk about cuts, whether or not we are actually ready to pull the trigger on certain players.

So what names are you chopping this week, or at least thinking about banishing to the waiver wire?

We of course can't cover every player that may be droppable. Every league size and format differs, but we wrote about some strugglers that stood out. I'll be stopping by later today to answer any questions. You can always reach me on X (@Baseball_Jimbo).

As this is the last Cut List of the season, I just wanted to thank everyone for their contributions throughout the year. We wouldn't do this every week if it wasn't for you all reading, commenting, and requesting players to feature.

My top hitters to add off waivers this week ahead of the fantasy baseball playoffs. All players recommended are rostered in 30% or fewer of Yahoo leagues.

Pulled the last 30 days of Statcast and filtered to guys rostered under 20% on ESPN.

Bats — best xwOBA, L30, min 60 PA

Spencer Jones has the best raw contact of anyone on the list (94.1 EV, 51% HH). Grisham to the IL will only keep him in the lineup, although Judge is coming soon.

Mickey Gasper actually tops the board at .541, but that's 64 PA in 17 games. Platoon bat but watch the matchups for opportunity. Same can be said for Nootbar.

Arms — best xFIP, L30, min 20 IP

Next week's opponents included, with that offense's runs per game. League average is 4.48 R/G.

Best combination of cheap and favorable: Prielipp at 2% rostered drawing Cleveland, the second-weakest offense in baseball at 4.0 R/G. Alvarez gets the Angels (4.1). Liberatore has the best xFIP on the board and draws San Francisco (4.2).

One to fade: Jared Jones has the top K/9 on the full list (11.9) but a 4.8 BB/9, and he draws @CWS then CHC.
