Not a ton of movement or surprises

Biggest Risers:
Riley Quick from 11 to 7
Ryan Gallagher from 23 to 15

Biggest Droppers:
Charlee Soto from 7 to 10
Brandon Winokur from 15 to 20
Marco Raya from 21 to Out of top 30

New to the List:
CJ Culpepper
Ben Ross
Alejandro Hidalgo

I was a little surprised Yasser Mercedes didn't sneak back on to the top 30 after being in the 20s last season and having a hot start to 2026.

Raya’s value has cratered. If they really think there’s a crunch on the 40 man, which I don’t, Raya could be DFA’d at any time and slip through waivers.

I was just thinking that he had strung together a nice couple of weeks, then yesterday happened.

Hard to see omitting Mercedes as anything other than inattention to detail. How many teams would currently choose Matt Barr over him?

Also not so sure clubs would pick Gallagher over Winokur, among various other dubious choices. 

Heck I dunno how many clubs would pick Soto over Mercedes at this point, maybe none. It's just not an accurate ranking.
