2024 Fantasy Outlook
Paredes had a wonderful breakout season becoming a full-time threat in the Tampa Bay lineup while playing three of the four infield positions. Paredes has a simple approach in that he is up there to pull baseballs, ideally over the fence since he is not the fleetest of foot. Paredes hit all 31 of his homers to left field, and in fact has hit all 53 of his career major league homers to left field. Not only does he pull a lot of baseballs, he also hits a high volume of flyballs which limits his batting average upside despite that he is both accepting of walks and does not strike out as much as one would imagine. His 98 RBI season appeared with him hitting .295 with runners in scoring position after hitting just .175 in those same situations in 2022. RISP production is not a skill so this could evaporate as quickly as it appeared which means the variability of his potential fantasy value in 2024 is rather wide. 2022 is a reminder of his downside.

Expecting to be pitched differently
Paredes focused on hitting breaking balls this winter in anticipation that pitchers will attack him differently in 2024, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Paredes broke out with 31 home runs in 2023, 20 of which came off fastballs. Heading into 2024, he expects to see pitchers mix in more breaking and offspeed pitches to mitigate his ability to pull the ball for power, and he took batting practice from a hitting machine throwing breaking pitches this offseason to prepare. Paredes also noted he may have to be willing to settle for putting the ball in play regularly as opposed to consistently hunting for the long ball.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Interest from Blue Jays, Mariners
The Blue Jays and Mariners have shown interest in acquiring Paredes from the Rays, reports Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old is coming off a breakout campaign after he posted an .840 OPS with 31 home runs in 2023, and Tampa Bay could make an attempt to sell high on the infielder. Both the Mariners and Blue Jays are logical landing spots with holes at third base following the respective departures of Eugenio Suarez and Matt Chapman. However, Paredes is under team control through 2027, so the Rays likely won't be in a hurry to deal him.

The fact that Paredes's .205/.304/.435 triple-slash line translated into a 116 wRC+ on the season speaks to where the overall offensive environment was for the 2022 season. His 20 homers in part-time play was a surprise and that total would have led the Tigers had they not traded him to the Rays for Austin Meadows during the offseason. Despite the low average, Paredes is a very disciplined hitter who accepts his walks and is 90th percentile or better in contact as well as chase rate. His extreme pull tendencies get him into trouble when he doesn't loft the ball as he lacks the foot speed to convert grounders into outs. All 20 of his homers were pull shots, but it would be foolish to believe the Rays will make him an everyday player with their tendencies to platoon positions. Paredes did most of his power damage against lefties (.516 SLG%) while his .196/.297/.404 triple-slash against righties does not exactly scream for a full-time position. The 24 year old has room for growth with his power, but do not get greedy and expect 500+ plate appearances just yet.
