RHH Outfield Targets

Taylor Ward has a slow sprint speed but he rates well defensively. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=wardta01&year=2024&t=b

 

Hammered LHP.

Has two seasons of control left. They would have no reason to give him away. They should also be listening for the future to a deal.

Garret Hampson. perfect bench Rh hitter for us. excellent speed. can cover our Lf and Cf as well as play on the infield. Free Agent. Won’t cost a ton. Obviously not a huge signing, but better than what we have had and more versatile.

Profar is a switch hitter and would clearly be an upgrade. Others include Grichuk, or Teoscar….

otherwise they should bring back Santander. 
 

we no longer need to shop in the bargain bin or settle.

Calling Profar a clear upgrade over anyone is silly. He was worth -1.6 fWAR in 2023 and has largely been a replacement level type player for most of his career.

One year doesn’t change that especially since he turns 32 soon and is projected to get a long term contract.  In the land of bad moves, giving him a 3-6 year deal, as he is projected to get, is about as bad as it gets.
