Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Leiter re-signed with the Cubs on a minor-league deal last February and secured a spot on the Opening Day roster with a strong spring. After spending much of the 2022 season in a multi-inning relief role, the 32-year-old locked down setup duties for Chicago and finished the season with 28 holds (T-5th in the league). Leiter rode the success of his splitter (.134 BA, 48.2% whiff percentage) to career-best ratios and a 28.6% strikeout rate, with 65 of his 77 total strikeouts coming on the pitch. He threw the splitter at a career-high 34% clip, which was +11.3% difference from the season prior. Leiter's secondary offerings aren't as effective, but he mixes five pitches to keep hitters guessing. The right-hander also tallied four saves to give the Cubs another option to turn to when closing out games. Leiter, who is arbitration eligible for the first time, figures to reprise his setup role for the Cubs after he was recently tendered a contract for 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Interest on trade market
The Cubs have received trade interest for Leiter but "won't let [him] go for cheap," reports Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Leiter's 4.37 ERA doesn't look particularly appealing, but a 2.41 xFIP and 53:13 K:BB over 36 innings should be enough to give him a sizable trade market. The right-hander has been a reliable high-leverage arm for Chicago over the past few years and has seven saves and 44 holds in 142 appearances. He also has two years of arbitration eligibility remaining after 2024.
