Projected Arbitration Salaries For 2024

Matt Swartz has created a model to project salaries for arbitration eligible players, which we've been publishing at MLB Trade Rumors for 13 years. In the baseball industry, teams and agents determine arbitration salaries by identifying comparable players. To project the entire arbitration class in this way would take a massive amount of time and…

Daulton Varsho's Three RBI Not Enough In Key Loss

Toronto Blue Jays catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. While it's damaging loss for Toronto's wild card hopes, Varsho did his part with the bat. He smacked a third-inning solo jack to get his club on the board before plating two more runs on a go-ahead single during the fourth frame. Varsho is carrying a hot stick lately, hitting .262 with four homers, two triples, and nine RBI in 42 at-bats since Sep. 15. The hybrid backstop's first year with the Jays following an offseason trade was fairly ordinary, slashing .220/.286/.391 with 20 big flies, 68 RBI, and 16 stolen bases over 522 at-bats ahead of free agency. Varsho ranks outside the top 10 catchers in 2023, but he'll remain fantasy relevant if he retains that eligibility next year.

Throughout the week, we've covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. As Anthony Franco noted earlier today, we’ll now move to the outfield. You can check out that piece for a preview of the left field/right field options available this winter, but we’ll focus here on center field — one of the relatively well-stocked…

Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Corner Outfield

Throughout the week, we’ve covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. We move today to the outfield. Teams often use left and right fielders interchangeably, so we’ll combine them into a single corner outfield group. It’s not a great class but is arguably among the stronger options in a light market for position players.…

Daulton Varsho Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho is back in the starting lineup Wednesday when his club takes on the Oakland A's and left-hander JP Sears. The lefty-swinging Varsho sat against another lefty in the A's Ken Waldichuk on Tuesday but will return to take on Sears on Wednesday afternoon. It's largely been a disappointing season for a player that entered 2023 with high expectations as Varsho is hitting just .220 with a .662 OPS across 137 games, production that's helped lead to an underwhelming 82 wRC+. While his 16 home runs and 15 stolen bases are palatable from a fantasy standpoint, he slugged 27 HR and collected 16 SB in his age-25 season last year and has failed to take the step forward fantasy managers were looking for this time around.
