Fantasy baseball season is officially here with the 2025 MLB Spring Training games underway. Fantasy managers are gearing up for their drafts after a bustling MLB offseason. Notably, outfielder Juan Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract moving from the Yankees to the Mets. This transition from Yankee Stadium to Citi Field, along with shifting from the AL to the NL, poses questions on his performance impacts.

Soto faces immense pressure following the richest contract in MLB history and is expected to elevate the Mets towards a World Series spot, leading to speculation on whether he could become one of the 2025 Fantasy busts.
