José Iglesias News
San Diego Padres shortstop Jose Iglesias has exercised his opt-out clause in his contract and will look to play elsewhere. The 33-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the Padres about a month ago. It appears he's ready to look for another organization after not being called up to the majors. He decided to opt-out of his deal with the Miami Marlins as well back in April. Iglesias should be able to find another team given his track record. He slashed .292/.328/,380 with three home runs and 47 RBI in 118 games with the Colorado Rockies last season.
Miami Marlins shortstop Jose Iglesias has opted out of the minor league deal that he signed with the club during Spring Training on Thursday, according to MLB Trade Rumors. He didn't make the team after the preseason and will likely look for a chance to play on a big league roster. Iglesias has never been flashy at the dish and is known for his glove, but he did hit .271 with nine homers and five stolen bases in 2022, albeit with half his games coming at Coors Field. Even if he does land with another team, fantasy managers can lay off the 33-year-old, who'll likely be in a part-time role.
The Miami Marlins have signed shortstop Jose Iglesias to a minor-league deal on Thursday. They also reportedly signed Yulieski Gurriel as well, so they've added multiple infielders to their roster. The expectation is that Iglesias will provide utility depth to their infield. The 33-year-old is likely to compete with Garrett Hampson for a spot on the Opening Day roster. There isn't much fantasy value with Iglesias, but he has been a consistent hitter throughout his career. Last season, Iglesias hit .292/.328/.380 with three homers and two steals with the Colorado Rockies.
