James McArthur 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Competing For Closer Role In Kansas City
9 months agoKansas City Royals reliever James McArthur had a September for the ages in 2023, helping many fantasy players to titles. He had three saves down the stretch with a 0.00 ERA and .28 WHIP over the last 10 days of the season. The folks at Roster Resource list him as a co-closer with veteran lefty William Smith and righty John McMillon. ATC projects him with 12 saves, a 4.17 ERA, and 60 strikeouts. For an NFBC ADP of 415 since February 1st, he's going 65 picks past Smith and 300 picks before McMillon. Expect a split of duties in Kansas City as they sort through their options, but a small investment in McArthur could yield 15 saves, making him a solid late-round flier for managers searching for saves.
