Mitch Garver News
Catcher Mitch Garver agreed to terms with the Seattle Mariners for two years. Garver is coming off a World Series title with division foe Texas but will look to help the Mariners improve upon their 88-win season. Cal Raleigh is Seattle's top backstop, and this signing shouldn't change that. Garver will likely be deployed as a DH and could occasionally spell Raleigh. The soon-to-be 33-year-old finished 2023 with a .500 slugging percentage and 134 OPS+ while hitting 19 home runs over 87 games. Garver has now topped 130 OPS+ in three seasons. He also produced 104 and 98 in two other seasons. That power, and the fact he caught 28 games last season, make him a good AL-only and deeper league catching option again for 2024.
Texas Rangers designated hitter Mitch Garver (ribs) is batting fifth for Game 1 of the World Series. Bruised ribs aren't going to keep Garver out of the lineup, and the Rangers are going with the same lineup they used against the Houston Astros in Game 7 of the ALCS. Garver is hitting .294 with a .898 OPS in the playoffs, including two home runs and 11 RBI. The sometimes catcher had a .536 slugging percentage at home this season and is just one of many potent bats in the Rangers lineup.
Texas Rangers catcher Mitch Garver (ribs) underwent precautionary X-rays on Tuesday to determine the severity of his injury. The 32-year-old slugger was removed from Monday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the ribs. Luckily, it sounds like Garver has avoided serious injury. The X-rays revealed that Garver avoided any fractures to his ribs. The hope is that Garver will be ready in time for Game 1 of the World Series. The slugging catcher has been a significant contributor for this lineup during the postseason.

Seattle Mariners catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver brings with him an excellent floor when it comes to the power department. The 33-year-old has only 451 big-league games under his belt due to injury and a timeshare behind the plate in his career but has flashed significant power when on the field. Garver has slugged 82 home runs in those 451 games while putting forth an excellent .231 isolated power and a 123 wRC+ that sits 23% above the league average. Slated as the everyday DH, the hope is Garver can stay healthy this season as ATC projects 22 home runs and 62 RBI across 462 plate appearances for him in the 2024 campaign. That is certainly enough to warrant an investment on draft day while his 176.34 ADP is reasonable considering his floor.
