  • • Preseason Prep - February 25, 2026
    Agustin Ramirez (C-MIA) cemented himself toward the top of the Marlins lineup as a rookie, registering a .231 average to go with 21 HR, 67 RBI, 72 R, and 16 SB across 585 PA. His 91 wRC+ was certainly underwhelming and the average didn't help fantasy owners, but Ramirez is a rare backstop who can contribute in both the power and speed departments. The average does seem a bit unlucky, too, given hi...2026

    Aside from towering over most of his Athletics teammates at 6-foot-5, Nick Kurtz blends in at his locker in the middle of the clubhouse — and that's just the way he prefers it. Kurtz stuck with his usual offseason routine of returning home to North Carolina, where he likes to “chill," play video games and watch movies when he's not busy training.
