Second base options in fantasy baseball are limited this season, making it a position where managers can wait to fill gaps. Mookie Betts stands out as the only 2B eligible player being drafted in the top 25 picks, while only four second basemen appear in the top 60 ADP. Many late-round options with potential, like Andrés Giménez from the Toronto Blue Jays and Brandon Lowe of the Tampa Bay Rays, present attractive opportunities for savvy managers.

Giménez, although coming off a down year, offers a solid combination of power and speed and is projected to thrive in a better lineup. Lowe has shown he can hit for power despite injury setbacks, and with favorable park factors in play, he has a chance to reclaim his previous form. Luis Rengifo and Zack Gelof offer additional intriguing value as reliable contributors for their respective teams.

The offseason for dynasty fantasy baseball is in full swing as players' values fluctuate. This article examines several second basemen whose stock is rising or falling as the 2025 season approaches.

Kristian Campbell of the Boston Red Sox has emerged as a top prospect after an impressive 2024 season. Meanwhile, Jackson Holliday of the Baltimore Orioles faces scrutiny following a disappointing performance, though his potential remains. Matt McLain from the Cincinnati Reds is a buy-low candidate after a lost season, while Zack Gelof of the Athletics needs to improve his contact to solidify his value. Luis Garcia Jr. of the Washington Nationals had a breakout year but may face challenges maintaining his performance.

The Oakland Athletics are navigating a challenging time as they seek a permanent move to Las Vegas. Amidst the distractions, the team boasts a promising roster, particularly with young talents like Lawrence Butler and Tyler Soderstrom.

Soderstrom, the former No. 1 prospect, had a rocky start but showed improvement after returning from injury. His performance in the latter part of the season indicates potential for growth as he aims to secure the first base position and contribute to the team's success alongside other rising stars.

The New York Yankees face a challenging 2-0 deficit in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers after a 4-2 loss in Game 2. Despite Juan Soto's early home run, the Yankees struggled offensively, with their captain Aaron Judge notably underperforming, finishing 0-for-4 with three strikeouts.

Judge's postseason slump is attributed to a rise in his chase rate and a significant increase in his whiff rate. Additionally, he has altered his hitting approach, focusing on pulling pitches rather than driving the ball to the opposite field, which has left him vulnerable to breaking pitches.
