As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the auction strategy discussions are heating up! Recently, Chad and Pete from the Keep or Kut podcast dove deep into their auction prep, and it got me thinking about the nuances of auction drafting.
Chad's commitment to Juan Soto at an almost unlimited price raises some intriguing questions. Is it worth breaking the bank for a superstar, or should we focus on building a balanced roster with depth? How do you approach position scarcity in your auctions? Do you prioritize elite talent or spread your budget across multiple solid players?
Also, the debate around players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Carlos Rodón going for significantly different prices is fascinating. Was it a miscalculation, or does it reflect the unpredictable nature of auction dynamics? What strategies do you employ to gauge the market value of players during an auction?
And let's not forget about the potential keepers! Would you hold onto Nick Pivetta at a 15th round value, or is it time to cut ties? What about the intriguing prospects like Chase Burns and Spencer Jones? How do you balance the risk of keeping young talent versus the immediate need for production?
Lastly, the idea of allowing teams to add FAAB to trades is a game-changer. How do you think this would impact league dynamics? Would it create more strategic trading, or could it lead to chaos?
I’m eager to hear your thoughts! What bold predictions do you have for this auction season? What strategies have worked for you in the past, and what lessons have you learned? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
