Contract: Pre-arbitration

Outlook 2025: No longer a projected starter, he will have to work to make the team. This could have been a tempting trade chip, but not on a .199 season.

In four seasons, he had three stints on the injured list. Sorry, the 60-day injured list – he has no career at-bats as of August. This time he played 11 weeks, each a little worse than the last, before disappearing.

Contract: Eligible for arbitration (second year)

Outlook 2025: He’s never played 90 games, so “he needs to stay healthy” is a no-brainer. Becoming average in a defensive position is also a laudable goal.

It seemed too good to be true when he hit .458 with 8 RBIs in his first week in the majors. He was. Hit .183 over the last 2 1/2 months, with just 19 more RBIs.
