Dansby Swanson News
The Chicago Cubs and free shortstop Dansby Swanson agreed to a seven-year, $177 million contract on Saturday. The 28-year-old lands in Chicago after the Braves, Red Sox and Dodgers expressed interest in singing the shortstop. He is coming one of the best seasons in his career, slashing .277/.329/.447 with 25 home runs, 96 RBI, 99 runs, and 18 stolen bases over 162 games in 2022. The former Atlanta Brave is one of the most reliable shortstops in the game and has played in 160 games in back-to-back seasons. Swanson is locked in as Chicago's starting shortstop, while Nico Hoerner will shift over to second base. The move to Chicago shouldn't affect Swanson's fantasy value too much, and he is ranked at No. 10 in the latest Rotoballer shortstop rankings.
The Boston Red Sox appear to be seriously considering star free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson now. Bringing Swanson aboard would allow them to keep Trevor Story at second base. Swanson's free-agent market is in very good shape, with the Chicago Cubs, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves among the other teams interested. Boston made a run to try and re-sign Xander Bogaerts, but he chose the San Diego Padres for 11 years and $280 million. The 28-year-old Swanson is quickly becoming one of the best shortstops in the game after spending his first seven years with the Braves, slashing .255/.321/.417. He was a first-time All-Star in 2022, hitting .277 with a .776 OPS, 25 homers, 96 RBI and a career-high 18 stolen bases in a full 162 games. Swanson has 52 long balls, 184 RBI and 27 stolen bases in the last two years and is as clutch as they come. Boston would be a great landing spot for him for fantasy purposes.
The Minnesota Twins will now consider signing free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson after failing to re-sign Carlos Correa. The Twins made a decent attempt to reunite with Correa, offering close to $285 million for 10 years, but he chose to go to San Francisco for a whopping 13 years and $350 million on Tuesday night. USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale reports that Swanson's free-agent market has skyrocketed with the recent big signings of Correa, Xander Bogaerts and Trea Turner. Along with the Twins, the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and Atlanta Braves are all in play for Swanson. The 28-year-old is considered to be a tier below the three other marquee shortstops, but he was an All-Star in 2022 when he hit .277/.329/.447 with 25 home runs, 96 RBI, 99 runs scored and 18 stolen bases in all 162 regular season games.

After an impressive 2022 campaign, shortstop Dansby Swanson was only bound to receive a considerable sum of money. He settled with the the Chicago Cubs on a seven-year, $177 million deal which was his first jersey swap since going pros. Swanson had one of the best years in his career, and it doesn't go unnoticed that he played all 162 games. He compiled a career-high 6.4 WAR and blasted 25 HRs with a .776 OPS with the Braves in 2022. There's a good chance that Swanson's bat may not be as productive in 2023, but nobody expected Swanson to amass those numbers this past season. Steamer gives the 28-year-old a .316 WOBA with 22 home runs and a .309 OBP. Those numbers are not on par with last year's performance, but maybe a change of scenery will give him a boost. Maybe his 78.73 ADP will slip a little if everything goes right.
