Five undervalued starters to target in 2026 fantasy leagues—Bradish, Lodolo, Schlittler, Gallen, and Sproat—ranked outside the top-75 (and outside top-125 for four) but could deliver SP1–SP5 value, guided by Grey’s rankings; draft hitters early and fill your rotation with these upside arms.
Bleacher Nation’s Valentine’s Day roundup: Nick Castellanos signs with the Padres for the MLB minimum while the Phillies cover the rest, Griffin Canning also signs with San Diego, and Zac Gallen re-signs with the Diamondbacks in a deal that defers $14 million over five years; the piece also highlights Cubs notes on Cabrera’s leadership, PCA’s development, and other spring-training bullets.
Zac Gallen re-signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks on a one-year, $22.025 million deal after a slow free-agent market, effectively ending Cubs chatter that he’d join Chicago. Despite persistent hype from Chicago media, notably Bruce Levine, the deal keeps Gallen in Arizona, with no opt-out risk for the team and a chance to rebuild value for a bigger contract next season.
Framber Valdez signed a three-year, $115 million deal with the Detroit Tigers to anchor the rotation alongside Tarik Skubal, a move that sharpens the free-agent market and keeps other top arms—like Zac Gallen and several others (Bassitt, Giolito, Verlander, Scherzer)—in play for teams such as the Orioles, Twins, and Pirates. Baltimore faces draft-pick penalties if they pursue Gallen, while budget constraints and tax implications shape how aggressively teams pursue high-end starters; the Yankees reportedly cooled on a Valdez pursuit after re-signing Cody Bellinger, and Minnesota’s front office changes signal broader retooling as the market moves forward.

In preparation for the 2024 Fantasy Baseball draft, five players to avoid include Zac Gallen, who may face a workload hangover and struggles with whiffs and hard contact, and Luis Robert, whose aggressive hitting and injury history pose significant risks. Additionally, Luis Arráez's one-dimensional batting average and Esteury Ruiz's reliance on stolen bases make them risky picks, while Tanner Scott's control issues and potential regression raise concerns about his performance as a reliever.
