    K ꓘ 157 - Potential 2026 Keepers Based on ADP
    Jan 6 2025

    Keep or Kut - Chad (@chadyoung) and Pete (@PeteBBaseball) take a look at ADP and find players whose draft cost makes them already look like potential keepers for next year. We're not talking the rookies or injured players you expect, but players who we think the market is simply undervaluing and whose ADP will be much earlier in 2026.

    Timestamps

    5:35 - Pitchers whose new homes have impacted our thinking, including Garrett Crochet to Fenway and Corbin Burnes to the desert

    16:17 - Same, but for hitters, this time talking Josh Naylor, Teoscar Hernandez, and a tangent for Chad to gripe about his Guardians.

    22:07 - Looking at players whose ADP offers keeper value, starting with Bowden Francis

    29:05 - Chad isn’t telling you Luis L. Ortiz is an ace, but the price is free and the upside is real.

    36:16 - Jake McCarthy isn’t flashy but he projects to 10/30.

    44:56 - Jorge Soler going to the best power park of his career.

    53:57 - Brandon Lowe, as late as he is going, might be the best power source you can get at 2B.

    58:19 - Luis Garcia Jr. is the 7th 2B off the board and Chad still sees keeper value at that cost

    1:01:25 - Nolan Gorman will at least get PA, and remember how good he looked?

    1:05:04 - Chad is ready to talk more Isaac Paredes
