As we gear up for the 2025 season, the landscape of fantasy baseball is shifting, and there are some intriguing developments that could impact our strategies. With projected lineups and rotations starting to take shape, let's dive into some of the most compelling storylines and see where we stand.

First off, how do you feel about the Marlins potentially starting Matt Mervis at first base? After struggling to find his footing in the majors, could this be the change of scenery he needs to finally break out? What are your expectations for him this season, and do you think he can surpass his previous performance?

On the pitching side, the Mets are leaning towards a six-man rotation, which could significantly affect the value of their starters. With Sean Manaea working on his changeup and the uncertainty surrounding Kodai Senga's health, how do you see this impacting their fantasy value? Are there any hidden gems in that rotation that you think could emerge as reliable options?

The Blue Jays are also making waves with their depth, particularly with Yariel Rodríguez being stretched out as a starter. With the potential return of Alek Manoah and Ricky Tiedemann later in the season, how do you think this will affect the team's pitching strategy? Is there a risk of overloading their rotation, or do you see this as a smart move to maintain performance throughout the season?

And what about the Dodgers? With Tanner Scott and Blake Treinen expected to share the critical late-inning duties, how do you view their roles in terms of saves? Is it wise to invest in either of them for your fantasy team, or should we be cautious given the uncertainty of their usage?

Lastly, let's talk about the Tigers' potential third base platoon with Jace Jung and Matt Vierling. With Jung's rookie status and Vierling's experience, who do you think has the edge in this competition? Could this be a situation to monitor closely for potential value in deeper leagues?

These are just a few of the many storylines unfolding as we approach the season. What bold predictions do you have for these players and teams? Are there any other developments that have caught your eye? Let's get the conversation going!
