How are you feeling about Jasson D for 2026?  Is he a keeper for next season?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:03
I'd probably need a lot of keepers to use on on him
12:05
everything is, of course, context driven...but he just hasn't proven enough at this point
dumboldman
12:05
More surprising this year Springer or Story? What is your outlook on T.Casas in '26.Thank you Mr. Gaut!
Nicklaus Gaut
12:05
oh my god, Story
I was shockingly wrong about him
had to take a lot of early-season jokes back
12:06
Springer is an unkillable fantasy zombie and should never be written off
12:07
I've never been a huge Casas guy. Not that the talent is poor, it just doesn't stand out from a fantasy POV at his position
Carson Williams
12:07
Can hold 3MiLB players. Would you hold Williams? 20/20 is nice but that strikeout rate says he needs more work before he's even close to MLB ready
Nicklaus Gaut
12:08
I'm not sure I would, depends on other options
that level of whiffery + the Rays is not a historically a great fit for trusting future fantasy success
12:09
oh, its way later than I thought
12:10
kid is still alive, so we'll persist
Sean M.

Who are some likely waiver wire names you'd be looking to add now for the stretch run in H2H categories leagues? Have already clinched and seeding fairly set with a week remaining.
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
Vargas, Clemens, Andujar
Guarded Indian
12:11
You buying Ryan Bergert or flash in the pan, ride it until it derails?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:11
I'd lean flash
12:12
.225 BABIP will soon come knocking
Steve
12:12
With the Mets 2025 plan showing that starting pitching has been a weakness, and David Stern’s aversion to giving starters long-term deals, what do you foresee as the plan for NYs better team to strengthen the rotation?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:12
unstoppable force vs immovable object sitution
12:13
will a great SP FA class + Mets (obvious) needs defeat New York's pitcher cheap-ery???
I'd bet on the latter
12:14
cause the Mets are gonna Met
Woodruff outlook?
12:14
Is it safe to say Woodruff “is back”? What is your outlook for him ROS and 26?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:14
man, I hope so -- always really liked hime
12:15
there was a really good article on him over at FG a couple of weeks ago
hold up
Messicking around
12:16
Are you jumping in on Messick in CLE? I was sad that Cantillo got demoted, but a little excited about Messick. Him or Dustin May?
Nicklaus Gaut
12:16
oh Messick is very interesting
12:17
longtime May stan tho, so I'll stick with hime
12:19
Okay, whining kid (who I forgot can tell time) has announced that I should've been done a long time ago
so I guess we're done-zo
thanks, as always for all of the great questions
and we'll see you back here next Thursday at 12 pm EST
12:20
Have a great weekend!
