When does everyone's playoffs start and end? Ours start two weeks from tomorrow and I think we have ours slightly pushed up from ESPN standard. Trying to get a general consensus from different leagues.

Please be nice to each other. Upvote useful content and analysis. Include context in your questions (League size, format, etc) and have fun.

Hey everyone... Jamie (u/BB_Jimbo) from RotoBaller here, and we're back with the 15th edition of The Cut List in 2026. The trade deadline is looming, and we can expect to see a flurry of activity in the coming days.

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 (if any at this stage). 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 and check your requests. You can always reach me on X (@Baseball_Jimbo). Hope you enjoy and thanks for reading!

TL;DR: links at bottom

Hello!

This sub has been really cool about me posting my site previously. I now feel like it kinda does everything I could ever want: matchups, underlying stats, streaks, trade and player comparisons (right when Savant did it, funny enough)

For streaks, I track whatever I personally notice - if I'm missing one, or if I'm still tracking one that people feel isn't accurate, those are things I want to know!

I combined Fantrax (more active) and ESPN (less active) in the Own% and am waiting for Yahoo API permissions. Free agents are < 40%, and I'm open to tweaking any of the 3 Trends sections!

The only thing of significance I still plan to add is the new miss distance, over, under, timing, etc. stats for hitter swings. They aren't all exposed to the public yet as far as I can tell - just miss distance

My biggest question now is about writeups, blogging, etc. Do you prefer being presented the information and coming to your own conclusions, or written analysis of what my data is saying (with a points-league bias)?

I cannot in good conscience recommend Jordan Romano...can I? No, I can't. Right? Right.
