The third base landscape for the 2026 MLB season has shifted into a "top-heavy" environment where early draft security is paramount. Jose Ramirez remains the undisputed anchor of the position, coming off a historic 30-home run, 40-steal campaign and commanding a top-five overall ADP. However, the traditional depth of the "hot corner" has eroded due to high-profile transitions.

Rafael Devers has migrated to first base for the San Francisco Giants, while veteran stalwarts like Alex Bregman have found new homes. This creates a volatile middle tier where managers must choose between the massive 45-homer upside of Junior Caminero, who enters his first full season as a primary superstar but in a new ballpark and injury-rebound candidates like Austin Riley, whose ADP has slipped into the mid-rounds, following two seasons marred by core and hand injuries.

 

 

Also, with the arrival of international powerhouses like Munetaka Murakami (White Sox) and Kazuma Okamoto (Blue Jays), the 2026 season requires fantasy managers to either pay the premium for a proven anchor or navigate a "cliff" of high-risk, high-reward specialists.
