Jon Heyman of MLB Network has reported that Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler has agreed to terms on a three-year, $126 million extension to remain in Philly for the foreseeable future. The right-hander already has a year left on his current deal, so the extension won't kick in until the 2025 season. Wheeler is coming off of an impressive 2023 campaign and has consistently been one of the top pitchers in the league since signing with the Phillies four seasons ago. With one of the better offenses in the league, Wheeler should continue to rack up W's to go along with his other strong numbers. He is a safe Top-10 option as a starting pitcher heading into the season.

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee struggled in his first appearance in the Cactus League this spring against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old tossed 1 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on three hits to go along with one walk and three punch outs. Bibee had a phenomenal rookie season with a shiny 2.98 ERA to go along with a 10-4 record and 141 strikeouts in 142 innings over 25 starts. Bibee missed the end of the 2023 campaign with a right hip injury, but all indications are that he is healthy heading into the 2024 season. Health will be the most important factor in his sophomore season, but Bibee has ace potential with a cheaper cost than most. He is well worth monitoring this spring with a chance to take another leap forward in year two.

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Jordan Walker will look to turn things around on Monday when the club squares off against the Washington Nationals in the Grapefruit League. Over his first 13 at-bats this spring, the Georgia native has just one RBI and is hitting .154. The 21-year-old remains one of the top prospects in the game and will look to build off of a rookie season that saw many ups and downs. Ultimately, Walker finished with a .276 batting average to go along with 16 homers and 51 RBI in 117 games. Despite his slow start in limited at-bats this spring, managers should have plenty of patience. Remaining one of the best prospects and young power hitters in the game, Walker might fly under the radar in redraft leagues and is absolutely worth taking a chance on with his very high ceiling. In dynasty formats, managers should sit back and enjoy the show.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks in Sundays Grapefruit League contest versus the rival Philadelphia Phillies. The former top prospect was acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier in the offseason and is coming off of his best year as a pro with a .253 batting average to go along with 11 homers, 49 RBI and 13 stolen bases in 105 games. The Braves are expected to use Kelenic as an everyday outfielder and their should be less pressure on the 24-year-old with many star teammates in a powerful Braves lineup. Kelenic is worth continuing to roster in dynasty leagues and makes for an intriguing upside play in redraft formats.

Boston Red Sox starting pitching Kutter Crawford put together another impressive outing in a Grapefruit League matchup versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Crawford went three scoreless innings and allowed two hits with no walks and four strikeouts. In 31 games (23 starts) this past season, Crawford showed serious upside and pitched to 4.04 ERA with 135 strikeouts in 129 1/3 innings. The 27-year-old impressed down the stretch and manager Alex Cora alluded to him likely earning an Opening Day spot in the rotation. Crawford will be battling Josh Winckowski, Garrett Whitlock and Tanner Houck for one of the two open spots, but it looks like it's his job to lose and with two strong showings thus far. With a splitter now in his arsenal, a strong finish to 2023 and two dominant performances in spring thus far, Crawford is an intriguing pick later in drafts for this upcoming season.
