I'm pretty early in my prep for 2026, but Jonathan Aranda going as the 13th 1B off the board is the worst price I've seen so far.
I’ll take Spencer Torkelson, Christian Walker, Kyle Manzardo, Alec Burleson, Willson Contreras and Sal Stewart over Aranda at 1B, and they’re all going later by ADP

It feels weird to say, but I like the potential of so many Pirates starting pitchers for 2026.
10 guys could be deserving of being in the rotation:
Paul Skenes
Jared Jones
Bubba Chandler
Braxton Ashcraft
Mitch Keller
Mike Burrows
Johan Oviedo
Hunter Barco
Carmen Mlodzinski
Thomas Harrington
