Are your high-draft fantasy baseball stars quietly sinking your season?

It’s Week 10, and it may be time to move on.

Welcome back to *Straight to the Chase* on the Fantasy Baseball Advice Network. In this episode, Chase Thornton breaks down the biggest fantasy baseball disappointments of the season and explains how to avoid the sunk cost fallacy that keeps managers holding underperforming stars too long.

We’re going position by position to identify which players are failing to live up to their preseason ADP, which ones are worth holding, and which fantasy baseball busts may need to be dropped or traded before they hurt your roster even more. From Cal Raleigh and Augustine Ramirez behind the plate to Vinnie Pasquantino, Josh Naylor, Jose Altuve, Bo Bichette, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Brent Rooker, Chase uses production trends, Statcast metrics, launch angle, exit velocity, injury context, and role concerns to separate real decline from possible rebound candidates.

We also cover key fantasy baseball injury updates, including Aaron Judge’s rib/bone bruise situation, Garrett Crochet’s lat strain, Corbin Burnes’ rehab setback, and positive updates on Corey Seager, Wyatt Langford, Francisco Alvarez, Max Muncy, Shane Bieber, Dylan Cease, and Max Scherzer.

Finally, we wrap with weekend matchups to exploit, including Yankees bats against left-handed pitching, Nationals hitters on the road, Braves bats at home against Pittsburgh, and streaming pitcher targets like Cade Cavalli and Martin Perez.
