2025 Fantasy Baseball: Waiver Wire Week 1
The waiver wire work is upon us, creating a 26-week grind in the fantasy baseball market. I’ll be multitasking over the next six months between baseball and football while also creating content for both Fantasy On SI and my Substack page.
Last year, I did a waiver article geared toward the NFBC and 15-team events for this site. Over the next few hours, I will work on the same format. Unfortunately, it will be behind a paywall after Week 1, as I will be playing against some subscribers who are on my email list. I don’t think it’s fair to me for someone to view my thoughts and bid ranges for players without being a paying customer.
To offset this plan, I will send out a free version, which I will place on Fantasy On SI (link below in yellow). In this format, I will be using a 12-team league in the NFBC to see the free-agent pool. There are many different fantasy formats available, so this information should be more valuable in shallower leagues. During the first waiver period, our decision-making information is limited, resulting in less data to make pickups and drops.
