Dynasty: Oneil Cruz. Redraft: too close to call. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Cruz ahead, Cruz #18 and Sanchez #21, but the expert consensus has Sanchez ahead (#25 to #43). The community disagrees, leaning Sanchez, FRV 75.6 to 67.3. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has them close, Sanchez #27 and Cruz #26, but the rest-of-season engine has Sanchez ahead ($8 to $3).
JD on Cristopher Sanchez (Jul 15, 2026): Alright, as hot as Cris Sanchez was during the 50+ scoreless inning streak is as cold as he seems to be now. During the ASG you could clearly tell what was wrong, he would get ahead of guys quickly with great stuff and then he would start trying to get cute with his CH and kept missing armside because he wasn't finishing off the pitch. When Sanchez is dominating he is just letting his stuff play and K's come naturally, rather than trying to force the issue and leading to mechanical breakdowns. All this being said, I think it's time I back off of my #1 overall SP call and turn over the throne to it's rightful owner, the Mis.
JD on Oneil Cruz (Aug 18, 2026): Oneil Cruz with a CRUISE MISSILE in his first game back from the IL at 107.7 off the bat, going 422 feet. I think I am higher on Cruz than anyone in the industry, but I will continue to bang the drum that he is a special talent that few players can match from an upside perspective. He could be a league winner the rest of the year (or he could be an absolute dud) but in dynasty leagues I would be doing whatever I can to grab him for his age 28 season in 2027. BUY BUY BUY!
