Rest-of-Season Projections
Cut loose by Friars
The Padres released Baez on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Baez signed out of Cuba for $3 million in December 2016 and quickly became a prominent prospect in the San Diego system, but his career has been sidetracked by injury issues and also control problems. The 6-foot-8 right-hander spent most of 2023 split between Double-A San Antonio and Triple-A El Paso, collecting a 7.18 ERA and 28:30 K:BB over 36.1 frames between the two stops. He'll turn 28 years old in January.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
Baez has a good fastball and an even better changeup, but even so there does not appear to be a path to him becoming a major-league starting pitcher. He has struggled with back and shoulder issues throughout the minors, and also lacks a quality breaking pitch for facing big-league hitters. There are certainly pitchers in the big leagues who have made it work with just two pitches, but San Diego took the repertoire concerns along with the durability issues and decided the bullpen would be the best place for him. We've seen just 34 innings out of him at the big-league level the past two seasons, with Baez mainly working in lower-leverage situations in a crowded bullpen. That is unlikely to change in 2021, so expect more of the same for him. If he could find a serviceable third pitch -- a cutter perhaps -- things could get interesting.
