The 2025 MLB season has seen a flurry of high-profile pitcher transactions, but some new teams may not be yielding the fantasy gold expected. Corbin Burnes and Garrett Crochet have joined teams with hefty contracts but are not deemed value picks in drafts this year. Max Fried's move to the Yankees has raised eyebrows, as his draft position may be a tad inflated given the change in scenery.

However, several pitchers have shifted teams and could offer enticing value, notably Jack Flaherty, Yusei Kikuchi, and Jesús Luzardo. Flaherty, after a solid 2024, returns to the Tigers with an ADP of 143.3 and a track record of improving strikeout rates, indicating he might be a sleeper in the later rounds. Kikuchi is another enticing option with a potential rebirth with the Angels, boasting an ADP of 167.1 and a strong finish to the last season. Lastly, Luzardo, now with the Phillies, could provide significant upside if he can put his injury struggles behind him, especially given his low ADP of 277.3.
