2024 Projections: 138 G, 595 PA, 7 HR, 3 SB, .316 AVG, .369 OBP, .418 SLG, 2.0 WAR
Contract Status: Under club control through 2025
Wait, who's reporting that Luis Arraez is a candidate to get traded this summer?
Only one person, so far as I can tell, but that one person is one of the most prominent baseball insiders in the business. It's Jon Heyman, who in January quoted an executive who posited that the Marlins have "zero chance" to sign Arraez long-term.
Even if that's true, it doesn't necessarily mean that a summer trade is a foregone conclusion. Arraez is under the Marlins' control through 2025 and, though there are challenges facing the club right now, what's happening in Miami isn't exactly a rebuild.
The Marlins are nonetheless an October long shot with only a 13.9 percent chance of making it there, so it's at least possible to imagine other teams calling them about Arraez.
Reliable .300 hitters have never grown on trees, least of all in this day and age. And Arraez has never not been a .300 hitter. Not just figuratively, but literally. Across 2,211 plate appearances in the major leagues, his career average has only gone as low as .307.
That doesn't totally make up for the fact that Arraez has little to offer in the power, speed and defense departments, but it goes a long way toward making up for it.
Potential Fits: Seattle Mariners, St. Louis Cardinals, Minnesota Twins, Toronto Blue Jays
