2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fairbanks finally managed to stay healthy for a full season, posting career-highs in games played (61) and innings (60.1) for Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old also established a new career-high with 27 saves for a 77.1 percent team save share that was seventh-highest among closers. However, for the second straight year, the right-hander's strikeout rate hovered around 24 percent; a steep drop from his career mark (30 percent) and prior outputs from the 2019 through 2023 campaigns. This, combined with Fairbanks' durability concerns, may have played into the Rays' decision to decline his $11 million option for 2026. However, Fairbanks was able to land an extra $2 million after hitting the open market, signing a one-year, $13 million contract with Miami. On average, the veteran has been the 15th closer off the board in early 2026 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
