As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the landscape of relief pitching is more intriguing than ever. With teams increasingly relying on their bullpens, the value of elite relievers has skyrocketed. However, not all closers are created equal, and some may be more risk than reward at their current draft prices.
Take Edwin Díaz, for instance. Despite being a top-tier reliever, his regression last season raises questions about whether he’s worth his high ADP. Can we trust him to bounce back, or is he a ticking time bomb for fantasy managers? Similarly, Robert Suarez has been effective, but with projections suggesting a potential drop-off, is he a player to avoid at his current price?
Then there’s Kirby Yates, who finds himself in a crowded Dodgers bullpen. With multiple potential closers vying for save opportunities, how do we assess his value? And what about Ben Joyce, who boasts an impressive fastball but struggles to miss bats? Is he a sleeper pick, or should we steer clear of him given his setup role?
Lastly, Jordan Romano’s situation is particularly fascinating. After a rough season and a non-tender from the Blue Jays, can he reclaim his status as a reliable closer with the Phillies? Or is he destined to be overshadowed by younger talent?
Let’s dive into this discussion! Who are your top reliever fades for 2025? Are there any players you believe will defy the odds and outperform their projections? Share your thoughts, bold predictions, and any experiences you’ve had with these pitchers in your fantasy leagues!
