Jorge Soler News
Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler has signed a three-year, $42 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. It has been reported recently that Soler was in search of a three-year pact on the open market and he indeed gets it in the Bay Area. The 31-year-old is coming off a big season with the Marlins in which he swatted 36 home runs alongside an 11.4% BB% and an .853 OPS across 137 games. The veteran played just 241 2/3 innings in the outfield, however, as he's likely slated for everyday reps at DH with the Giants in 2024. Nonetheless, he should remain outfield-eligible in fantasy baseball, and considering ATC is projecting 30 more home runs and 76 RBI from the slugger in 2024, his 153.10 ADP is certainly warranted.
Free-agent outfielder/designated hitter Jorge Soler is still seeking a three-year deal in free agency. One of the top remaining bats left on the open market, Soler's potential suitors have diminished as the Blue Jays, D-backs, and Mariners have already acquired primary DH bats this offseason in Justin Turner, Joc Pederson, and Mitch Haniger, respectively. The 31-year-old is coming off a big season with the Marlins in 2023 as he hit .250 with 36 home runs and an .853 OPS across 137 games played. The 2019 AL home run champ (48) opted out of the final year of his contract with Miami and was ultimately not tendered a qualifying offer, therefore he is not attached to draft pick compensation on the open market.
The San Francisco Giants are in talks with free-agent outfielder Jorge Soler. The Cuban slugger is coming off a big season with the Marlins in 2023, hitting .250 with 36 home runs and an .853 OPS across 137 games. As a result, Soler opted out of the final season of his contract and became a free agent in early November. The 31-year-old led the American League with 48 home runs in the 2019 season, the only such season in which he surpassed his 36 long balls from the 2023 campaign. The Giants added international free agent outfielder Jung Hoo Lee this winter but Soler is likely being eyed as the club's primary designated hitter as infielder Wilmer Flores is currently projected to see the most reps at DH in 2024. Soler's big-time power makes him a solid fantasy asset on an annual basis.

Wherever he ends up, free agent DH/OF Jorge Soler is going to bring the power, especially against left-handed pitching. In 2023, the former All-Star blasted 36 HR, with a 92nd percentile Barrel% and HR/FB% of 21.2%. Against LHP, Soler had the best ISO in the entire league at .411 (.219 vs RHP) and fifth-best wRC+ of 181 (110 vs RHP). The less-than-league-average Contact% of 75.0% can cause bouts of streakiness, and 22 of his 36 HR came in just two months (May and August), although he consistently gets on base as a result of a better-than-league-average BB% of 11.4%. All in all, the former World Series MVP owned a .250-36-75-77-1 line with a .361 WOBA and 126 wRC+. Heading into his age-32 season, ATC projections call for a .242-29-72-71-1 line with a .346 WOBA and 119 wRC+. NFBC ADP data shows he's going around pick 153, slightly ahead of his RotoBaller rank of 156. These projections may fluctuate once he signs somewhere, and while plate discipline metrics like Contact% and SwStr% have been improving for Soler since 2018, Marcell Ozuna offers similar production in perhaps the best environment around and RotoBaller ranks him six spots ahead of Soler despite having nearly identical ADPs.
