Brendan Donovan should see a boost in numbers with his trade to the Mariners
The Mariners finally landed their man in Donovan (pictured above), who brings a high OBP to the leadoff spot in front of Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. In a three-team trade with the Cardinals and Rays, Seattle acquired the All-Star utility specialist to solidify an infield that nearly reached the World Series last year. The Mariners plan for Donovan to be their primary third baseman initially, but will not hesitate to move him around based on matchups.
Donovan is coming off a career year where he slashed .287/.370/.405 with 10 HRs in 118 games. He is expected to lead off and potentially take the “super-utility” role to new heights. His elite career 9.6% walk rate and 13.5% strikeout rate make him a high-floor asset in OBP leagues. With the Mariners’ lineup depth, his counting stats should see a significant 2026 bump.
Bo Bichette joins a revamped Mets offense with newfound place discipline
When the Mets missed out on Kyle Tucker, Mets owner Steve Cohen didn’t just pivot—he shattered the glass on the “break in case of emergency” superstar fund. The resulting three-year, $126 million deal for Bichette is fascinating for dynasty managers.
With Francisco Lindor locked in at shortstop, Bichette has officially agreed to move to third base. For dynasty owners, this is a goldmine. Bichette will carry over SS eligibility and gain 3B eligibility within the first couple of weeks, which will give dynasty owners the ability to slide him in at short, third, corner and middle infield. That kind of flexibility with a hitter capable of hitting over .300 is priceless.
On top of that, his approach is improving dramatically as well. Historically a free swinger, Bichette posted a career-low 14.5% strikeout rate in 2025 and increased his walk rate for the third straight season. He’s likely to hit third behind Juan Soto, and if he does that, Bichette could set a career high in RBIs.
Pete Alonso could approach 50 home runs again after signing with the Orioles
At 31, Alonso is in the heart of his prime. By moving to the AL East—where he’ll get frequent looks at hitter-friendly parks in Boston and New York—his fantasy ADP has climbed into the top 25 overall. He is no longer just a “power source”; he is a multi-category anchor who could flirt with a .275 average and 45 home runs in this new environment.
The biggest narrative in Baltimore has been the left-field wall. After pushing it back in 2022, the Orioles brought the wall back in by 28 feet ahead of the 2025 season. Based on 2025 Statcast projections, if Alonso had played in Camden Yards last season, he would have hit approximately 44-45 home runs. Camden Yards has returned to being a top-three environment for right-handed power. For a hitter with Alonso’s pull-side and straight-away strength, this is the ultimate “park boost.”
