Johnny Cueto Stats

According to a tweet from the Miami Herald's Craig Mish on Tuesday, free-agent starter Johnny Cueto reportedly is in agreement with the Miami Marlins. Cueto is guaranteed $8.5 million in the agreement, per sources -- $6 million in 2023 with a $10.5 million club option in 2024 ($2.5 million buyout). Cueto made 25 appearances for the Chicago White Sox last year, 24 of which were starts. He turned in a 3.35 ERA and a 3.79 FIP in 158 1/3 innings of work while striking out 102 batters and surrendering just 33 walks. The veteran starter will join a Marlins rotation mix that also includes Sandy Alcantara, Pablo Lopez, Jesus Luzardo, Trevor Rogers, Edward Cabrera, and Braxton Garrett.

The San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins are among the teams looking at free-agent starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, who pitched very well for the Chicago White Sox in 2022. Cueto went 8-10 with a 3.35 ERA (3.79 FIP), a 1.22 WHIP and a career-low 15.7 percent strikeout rate in 25 appearances (24 starts) over 158 1/3 innings pitched, and he's now attracting interest as a veteran arm for the back end of a rotation. He's heading into his age-37 season and doesn't have much fantasy upside left, but he's more attractive in real life as a rotation option and innings-eater. The Cincinnati Reds have also been connected to the two-time All-Star as he heads into his 15th major-league campaign.

MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi reported Tuesday that the Miami Marlins would be interested in free-agent starting pitcher Johnny Cueto if they traded away starting pitcher Pablo Lopez. Per Morosi, the Marlins interest is "somewhat contingent on finding a spot for Pablo Lopez." Cueto had a solid age-36 season with the Chicago White Sox, going 8-10 with a 3.35 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 15.7% strikeout rate over 24 starts and 158 1/3 innings pitched. He posted a career-low strikeout rate but pitched very effectively, averaging over 6 1/3 innings per start. Cueto is not nearly the fantasy asset he once was, but his ability to pitch deep into games gives him some fantasy value in points leagues.
