2025 Projections
Heads to Mexican League
Lugo signed a contract Monday with the Guadalajara Mariachis of the Mexican League.
ANALYSIS
Lugo will continue his career outside of affiliated ball after he elected free agency in November, just over two months after the Tigers booted him from the 40-man roster. The Mexican League season isn't scheduled to get underway until the summer, so Lugo is unlikely to resurface in the majors in 2021 even if he plays well for the Guadalajara club. The 26-year-old infielder failed to impress in multiple stints at the big-league level with Detroit over the past three seasons, slashing a collective .236/.270/.358 with seven home runs in 400 career plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2017
Lugo was one of many players to be given a decent run by the rebuilding Tigers, and like most of them, he failed to impress. In 77 games at the big-league level, he hit just .245/.271/.381 with six homers. His offense was generally poor across the board, but his 2.8 BB% stands out as particularly bad. He was a very different player for Triple-A Toledo, hitting .333/.370/.489 after looking overmatched there the season prior. Lugo isn't quite a true utility infielder, as he can't play shortstop. That makes it harder for him to earn a bench spot and puts more pressure on a bat that hasn't looked capable of carrying him to a starting role. He should still receive opportunities this year, as he'll be just 25 years old and the Tigers don't appear likely to suddenly fill their roster with proven talent. What he does in those chances probably won't interest fantasy owners in most leagues, however.
