Luis Arraez News
Miami Marlins second baseman Luis Arraez won his salary arbitration case at $6.1 million over the team on Thursday, according to a source. The Minnesota Twins filed a number of $5 million before they traded Arraez to the Marlins this offseason, but the number didn't change following his trade. Arraez won the American League batting title in 2022 with the Twins when he hit .316. The 25-year-old also added a .375 on-base percentage, .420 slugging percentage, .795 OPS, career-high eight home runs, 49 RBI, 88 runs scored and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances over 144 games. He will be Miami's everyday second baseman and leadoff batter in 2023. Although Miami isn't the best hitting environment and their offense as a whole isn't anything to write home about, Arraez should once again be a great source of average, OBP and runs scored.
The Miami Marlins acquired All-Star second baseman Luis Arraez from the Minnesota Twins on Friday in exchange for right-hander Pablo Lopez and prospects Jose Salas and Byron Chourio, according to sources. Arraez won the American League batting title in 2022 by hitting .316 with a .375 on-base percentage, .420 slugging percentage, .795 OPS, career-high eight home runs, 49 RBI, 88 runs scored and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances and 144 games. The 25-year-old can play pretty much anywhere on the infield and could also be used in the outfield in Miami, but there's no doubt that he'll be playing every day for the Fish. Miami isn't the best hitter's environment, but Arraez is more useful for runs, average and OBP to begin with in fantasy.
The Athletic's Dan Hayes reported Tuesday that the Miami Marlins are interested in Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Arraez. However, the Twins have reportedly attached a heavy price tag to the 2022 All-Star. The 25-year-old had a great season, slashing .316/.375/.420 with eight home runs 49 RBI, 88 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 603 plate appearances. The young second baseman holds a great deal of value to the Twins, but his fantasy value is somewhat limited, as he hits almost entirely for average. His fantasy value would relatively decline if he were to be traded to the Marlins.

Luis Arraez's 2022 campaign is most well-known for his AL batting title, but his .316/.375/.420 line with eight homers and four steals was nothing to sneeze at in fantasy. His plate discipline was superlative, with an 8.3 BB% exceeding his 7.1 K% and a microscopic 2.5 SwStr% unheard of in today's game. Arraez's BABIP drives his fantasy value as a result, and last year's .331 BABIP was right in line with his career mark of .336. His 25.8 LD% might seem inflated, but it was actually a career worst. Arraez rarely pops up as well (32.9 FB%, 3.6 IFFB%), so he should continue posting plus BABIPs and batting averages. Arraez's power metrics are terrible with a 3.6% rate of Brls/BBE and 90.8 mph average airborne exit velocity, so expecting more homers is unwise. Similarly, his 50% success rate on steal attempts means that you'll have to find your steals elsewhere. Arraez figures to score plenty of runs at the top of Minnesota's lineup though, and he should qualify at 1B, 2B, CI, and MI in most formats. Overall, Arraez is a great pick at ADP 198.43 for fantasy managers looking for average help from a versatile bench piece.
