Brice Turang might just be a one-trick pony. Matt Chapman's 2024 seems flukey. Do not buy Willy Adames off his career year. Luis Gil faded in the second half. Ronel Blanco seems pretty likely to regress.

Way too early bus candidates for 2025 up next on fantasy baseball today and five

0:07.0

Welcome it's a F. We're team five on Saturday October 26. I am Frank Sam, joined by Chris Towers.

0:13.2

And first up, bus candidate number one for next year,

0:16.7

you have Bryce Tarang, Chris, who really was only a standout

0:20.6

in one category.

0:21.4

Granted, he was amazing. He had 50 steals, those were the third most in

0:24.5

baseball. I don't know what else he can do besides that.

0:28.6

Yeah, I mean, look, early on last season he hit 280 in the first three months of the season or

1:16.0

And look, it's worth prefacing all conversations about Bust.

1:20.7

Everything comes down to price.

1:22.4

And if Bryce Terang is, we get to March

1:26.5

and he's being drafted 140th overall,

1:29.2

I'm probably not gonna have any problems

1:31.1
