As the baseball season unfolds, the importance of savvy waiver wire pickups becomes crucial for fantasy managers. Christopher Morel, traded to the Tampa Bay Rays, has shown promise after struggling with the Chicago Cubs. His power potential can't be overlooked, especially with a chance to hit 30 home runs this season. José Alvarado, recently dominant in relief for the Philadelphia Phillies, may secure a mix-and-match closing role that could lead to valuable saves. Tyler Soderstrom, now with catcher eligibility on the horizon, showcased his potential with two home runs. Quick mentions include Tony Santillan as a closing option for the Reds, and Kyle Manzardo's favorable position in the Guardians lineup.
