Look, this is one of those situations in which you should just go add the player before reading the content. This article will still be waiting for you after you have picked up Royals prospect Jac Gaglianone, who was just promoted to the majors on Sunday night.
Go make the add, then return for the details.

Shoo.
[Time passes. Pickups are furiously made.]
OK, thanks for returning. Much appreciated. We sincerely hope you were able to land Caglianone somewhere. Very soon, he’s gonna be rostered in every competitive and semi-competitive fantasy league.
Caglianone’s absolute dominance at the plate has been one of the most significant minor league stories over the first two months of the 2025 season. He has simply toyed with pitching in the high minors, slashing .322/.389/.593 with 15 bombs. Pretty much every Caglianone home run is launched into orbit, becoming a celestial event.
He only needed a dozen games at Triple-A Omaha to demonstrate that he requires a new challenge. In those 12 games, he went 15-for-47, launching six homers, driving in 13 and generally establishing himself as an unstoppable force.

Caglianone has spent most (but not all) of his time at first base this season defensively, but we can expect to see him in right field for the Royals. Vinnie Pasquantino isn’t giving up first base anytime soon. Kansas City’s offense hasn’t made much noise so far this season, but it’s suddenly looking dangerous. Expect significant power contributions from Caglianone, along with batting average upside. He won’t be stealing bases, but he offers every other tool.
If you don’t trust our opinion on prospect matters, here’s a breakdown on Caglianone from a more respected authority:
Bottom line: Caglianone is an impact bat capable of changing the trajectory of KC’s season while boosting your fantasy squad’s potential in the power categories. He should have been stashed well ahead of his promotion to the big leagues. This is an actionable fantasy event, people. You can’t allow Caglianone to fall into the wrong hands. He can be an immediate difference-maker.

Vampeta sugere Raphinha atuando no meio-campo em Brasil x Paraguai: “Não tiraria o Estêvão”
Raphinha, em jogo da seleção brasileira (Vitor Silva/CBF) Vampeta defende que Estêvão, mesmo sem brilhar diante do Equador, seja mantido na escalação do Brasil contra o Paraguai. Levando em conta o retorno de Raphinha, o ex-jogador vê margem para formação de um ataque mais rápido. Neste cenário, Matheus Cunha, acionado por Ancelotti na segunda etapa, foi citado como o substituto ideal para ocupar a vaga de Richarlison. Em relação ao esquema de Ancelotti, Vampeta considera que a presença de um camisa 10 é indispensável. Ainda que Raphinha não seja um articulador de jogadas de ofício, a escassez de armadores na seleção motivou a sugestão de presença mais centralizada para municiar Vinícius Júnior, Estêvão e Matheus Cunha.
