Four Bagger: July 10th, 2025

This article, called The Four-Bagger, highlights the four most interesting things in fantasy from the previous day of action. The goal is simple: a high-level overview of what you may have missed from the day before. I will do my absolute best to get this article out at the same time each day, but as you know, life is hectic sometimes. Either way, my commitment to you is to provide daily content during the season, and this is just one of the many ways!

The FourBagger is a bit lighter today. Over the past few days, I've been plugging away on updating redraft rankings, a new Top 250 Prospect, a new Dynasty Top 350, and the NL Central Farm Reports for PitcherList. All of those are dropping shortly! In addition, I'll be on the Toolshed pod with Eric Cross in about 10 days, talking all things prospects, dynasty, etc.

I also made a difficult decision this week by forfeiting all seven of my Dynasty teams that I've owned since 2019. It wasn't easy, but with my new career, I had to choose between writing and playing. My passion for writing continues to grow each day, so I'll be diving into that even more in the future!

Here is today's Four Bagger!

Since falling on his sword in a blown save on June 29th, Padres closer Robert Suarez has locked back in. Over his last four outings, Suarez has converted all three save chances, allowing just one hit with no walks and five strikeouts. With Thursday's save, his 27th of 2025, Suarez now has a two-save lead over Royals closer Carlos Estevez. I vividly recall a spat with a Padres fan on X about how bad Suarez was during the Spring, and I told him he'd be fine. He didn't listen and kept calling for his head. I should find that guy now and take my victory lap. While Suarez's ERA has risen compared to last season, his 19.64 Spring ERA did not carry over, and now the 34-year-old is en route to smashing his career-best save total, 36 in 2024. Spring Training matters with some things, but it's also important to remember that veterans like Suarez are just going through the motions to get their bodies ready for the 162-game grind.
