After a holiday hiatus the Baseball America Fantasy podcast is back with our final positional ranking podcast of the offseason. We start the show discussing the trio of Japanese players that signed from NPB. We then discuss the Cubs and Marlins trade before diving into the top 200 pitchers.

• (3:00) Is the market reacting too much to Murakami's swing and miss concerns?
• (6:30) Tatsuya Imai ready to succeed state side?
• (11:00) Is Kazuma Okamoto the best of the three in 2026 only?
• (14:00) Owen Caissie traded to Miami. What are your expectations for Caissie in 2026?
• (17:00) Why Shohei Ohtani No. 1?
• (19:00) Is Yamamoto just outside the top tier of pitchers?
• (25:00) Is Joe Ryan Tier 2 or Tier 3?
• (27:00) Explaining the Aggressive Eury ranking
• (29:00) The Yesavage ranking is more than the playoff bias.
