Locked On Fantasy Baseball - Daily MLB Fantasy Podcast

Kansas City Royals face a challenging 2026 season as Bobby Witt Jr.’s power dips, yet Jack Caglianone’s electric breakout and Carter Jensen’s late surge hint at brighter days ahead. Can this young core fuel a turnaround in 2027, or will lingering injuries and lineup uncertainty hold them back?
Dominick Martino highlights Vinnie Pasquantino’s disappointing campaign, Salvador Perez’s fading fantasy relevance, and Maikel Garcia’s struggles with health and expectations. On the mound, Cole Ragans’ injury woes cast doubt on his future, while Michael Wacha and Noah Cameron deliver mixed results. Key talking points include the Royals’ upside if healthy, fantasy draft outlooks for breakout candidates, and the real value of overlooked bats and arms in the changing Kansas City lineup. The big question: Will the Royals’ promising talent finally coalesce into fantasy gold?

Oakland Athletics' season crumbles under an avalanche of injuries—can Nick Kurtz and company spark a 2027 turnaround? Matthew Ahne examines why the A’s 2026 campaign fell apart, spotlighting breakout first baseman Nick Kurtz’s scorching pace before a thumb injury derailed his year. Are Kurtz’s elite barrel and hard-hit rates enough to make him fantasy baseball’s top first base prize next season, despite team context?
Tyler Soderstrom, Brent Rooker, and Jacob Wilson’s setbacks raise questions about the A’s overall fantasy outlook, while Shea Langoliers’ power dip and Henry Bolte’s sneaky speed keep dynasty managers guessing. Is top prospect Leo DeVries ready to make his MLB debut and transform the lineup in 2027, or should fantasy players wait for his power to mature? Get the inside track on which Oakland Athletics deserve a place on your roster—and which might burn you again.

Fantasy baseball managers face tough calls as breakout stars from the 2026 season look to prove they're no one-year wonders. Will Jordan Walker’s power-speed blend and solid plate approach anchor fantasy rosters again, or is regression coming? Is Alec Burleson’s late-blooming surge at age 27 a sign of sustainable production, or just a fluke that should scare off savvy drafters?
Host Matthew Ahne delivers sharp takes on Michael Harris’s long-awaited Atlanta Braves breakout, questions Alec Burleson’s capacity to repeat for the St. Louis Cardinals, and highlights Luis Garcia Jr.’s transformation after joining the New York Yankees. Key insights include advanced Statcast data, positional value comparisons, and strategic draft advice for 2027. Which of these stars will rise higher, and who might disappoint when it matters most?
