Thairo Estrada

There were some people who had hopes that Estrada playing in Coors Field would help right everything that had gone wrong for him in his final year with the Giants. The scorecard on that is incomplete, because Estrada played in just 39 games, as he suffered a broken hand in the spring, which was followed by a sprained thumb a month upon his return, and a hamstring issue nicely tied a bow on what was a disappointing season for the infielder. He did reduce his strikeout rate a third conseuctive season back to his better 2022 level, but all that did was push his batting average slightly above the league average. He otherwise offered no fantasy value to those clinging to those hopes, and now he has to hope the Rockies decide to pick up his $7M mutual option to try again in the comforts of Coors. The Rockies are crazy enough to do it, but if they don't, Estrada is likely limited to a MILB deal with an invite to camp for a club looking for a utility infielder who can still play defense.
