Curtis Mead

24-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
Tampa Bay Rays AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mead, a year after he was acquired from Philadelphia for Cristopher Sanchez, was looked at by some as another highway robbery by the Rays. Now, as Michael Scott once said, well well well, how the turntables....or something like that. Sanchez had a breakout season in 2024 while Mead spent more time in Triple-A Durham than he did in the majors as he has yet to show the ability to hit or field as an everyday big league player. Mead continued to hit well in the minors, but his time in the majors saw him mostly overpowered by righties and he had but one home run in 132 plate appearances around a lot of suboptimal contact. Mead also struggled to find a defensive home as he lacks the arm strength to play third base and the footwork to play second base. What we're left with is a guy who so far profiles best on a short-side platoon at DH, which is far from the trajectory envisioned for him even 12 months ago. He qualifies at second base only on draft day, so he is an intriguing draft and hold target if he can resurface some of what made him a highly rated prospect, but there is a good chance he returns to Durham to begin the season in hopes of finding him a defensive home.
