JD on Chris Sale (Jun 11, 2026): I'm glad Chris Sale had one more career renaissance in him after he left the Red Sox. I remember buying low on him after the trade was completed and I rode him all the way to his Cy Young that year. It's crazy to see him still performing at that high level. and I don't see why he can't do it into his early 40's. He's one of the safer late-30s pitchers that I can imagine.
JD on Joe Ryan (Aug 5, 2026): Something looks off with Joe Ryan, and I know he goes through ups and downs with his stuff and his results but it seems like this time might be different. It's easier to overlook when you're on the right side of 20 but now that he's over 30 he feels more like a ticking time bomb than most guys in the top 20 starting pitchers. This is coming off of a trade that I made in my home league where I'm absolutely going for it - Will Smith, Jordan Lawlar, Bryce Rainer, and Geraldo Perdomo - that already looks really bad with how Joe Ryan struggles in the second half. I still think he'll be relatively fine for the rest of the year and probably will bounce back around fantasy playoff time but I'm not 100% confident that he will be an upper-echelon starter after 2027.
