As we dive into the 2025 MLB season, the bullpen landscape has undergone some significant shifts that could impact fantasy leagues across the board. With new faces and familiar names taking on different roles, it's time to discuss who you think will rise to the occasion and who might fall flat.
Let's start with the Los Angeles Angels. The signing of Kenley Jansen has thrown a wrench into the plans for Ben Joyce, who many thought was on the verge of becoming a closer. How do you see this situation playing out? Is Jansen still a reliable option, or is it time to look elsewhere for saves?
Over in Houston, the departure of Ryan Pressly leaves Josh Hader and Bryan Abreu as the main options. Can Hader reclaim his elite status, or is this the beginning of a decline? And what about Abreu—could he surprise us all and take over the closer role?
The Kansas City Royals have added Carlos Estevez to their bullpen, which could complicate things for Lucas Erceg and Hunter Harvey. Do you think Estevez will hold onto the closer role, or is there a chance we see a changing of the guard mid-season?
In the AL East, the Blue Jays have Jeff Hoffman stepping up as a must-own reliever. Is he the real deal, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment? Meanwhile, the Red Sox have a duo of Liam Hendriks and Aroldis Chapman. Who do you think will emerge as the more valuable fantasy asset?
And let's not forget about the New York Yankees, where Devin Williams is now the closer. Could he be on track for a historic season with 50 saves and 115 strikeouts? Or are we getting ahead of ourselves?
With all these changes, which bullpens are you keeping a close eye on? Are there any under-the-radar players you think could emerge as fantasy gold? Share your thoughts, predictions, and any bold takes you have for the upcoming season!
