Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024

2023

Sabol went from the Pirates to the Reds to the Giants during Rule 5 Draft day in December of 2022, ultimately landing in a place where his ability to both catch and play the outfield could be put to great use. He made 46 starts behind the plate, essentially subbing in for Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey, and he also made 32 starts in left field as the San Francisco outfield depth chart fell into disarray. In the end, though, Sabol did not show enough offensively to carve out an increased role for 2024. Bailey is still around, as his newcomer at catcher Tom Murphy, and the blockbuster addition of Korean center fielder Jung Hoo Lee leaves the Giants with too many outfield mouths to feed. Sabol can mostly be ignored in standard fantasy leagues as he enters his age-26 campaign.

Sabol was the fourth overall pick during the Rule 5 draft in December, as the Giants picked him up (via trade with the Reds) after the Pirates declined to add him to the 40-man roster. He turned 25 years old in January and finished the 2022 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had .296/.426/.543 slash line with five home runs in just 25 games. Sabol must stay on San Francisco's big-league roster for the full 2023 season in order for the organization to keep him. Joey Bart struggled in his first full-time action behind the plate last year following the retirement of Buster Posey, and it's hardly a guarantee he takes a notable step forward in 2023. Sabol should begin the season in a reserve role, and the Giants seem likely to add a veteran catcher for some stability, as it would be quite risky to have Sabol as the sole backup given he has yet to make his MLB debut.
