Ji Man Choi News
Free-agent first baseman Ji Man Choi signed a split contract with the New York Mets on Friday that is worth up to $3.5 million, including performance-based bonuses if he makes the Opening Day roster. The deal includes an invite to spring training. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting South Korean started the 2023 season with the Pittsburgh Pirates before being traded to the San Diego Padres. In only 39 games in all, he hit a weak .163/.239/.385 with six home runs, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored in 117 plate appearances. If Choi makes the Mets' major-league roster, which is probably unlikely, he'll be a backup option at first base behind All-Star Pete Alonso and a left-handed bat off the bench against righties. In eight seasons in the majors, Choi has a career slash line of .234/.338/.426 with 67 homers and 238 RBI in 525 games played. He's not on the fantasy radar.
San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Ji Man Choi (ribs, foot) was rehabbing with Triple-A El Paso when he sustained a right Lisfranc injury. The ailment will likely end his season, and his rehab assignment will stop for now. Choi has only played in 30 games this year split between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Padres, thanks to an Achilles and rib injury. The 32-year-old wasn't producing when he was on the field, as he slashed .179/.239/.440 with six homers, 12 runs, 11 RBI, and no steals. If fantasy managers haven't already, they should drop Choi in virtually every format.
San Diego Padres first baseman/designated hitter Ji Man Choi (ribs) has begun a swinging progression, according to MLB.com, and is looking to return from the injured list by mid-September. The 32-year-old hit the shelf after straining his rib cage earlier this month. Choi has only appeared in 30 contests this season, split between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Padres, as he began the season dealing with an Achilles issue. Over 84 at-bats, the eight-year vet owns a .179/.239/.440 slash line with six homers, 12 runs, and 11 RBI. There's no need for fantasy managers to stash Choi in any mixed-league format.
