2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hoffman spent spring training with the Twins organization, but was granted his release after failing to make their Opening Day roster. A few days later, he signed a minor-league contract with Philadelphia, with whom he'd spend the next month in Triple-A before he was promoted to the active roster in early May. The 30-year-old worked out of the Phillies bullpen, flashing significantly improved velocity on all three of his pitches. He saw the biggest spike on his slider, averaging 87.8 mph on the pitch compared to 81.2 mph in 2022. Hoffman saw excellent results on the pitch (.074 BA, 44.6% whiff) and used it as his primary offering for the first time in his career over his now upper-90's fastball (97.1 mph average). Hoffman finished the year with a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate alongside career-best ratios (2.41 ERA, 0.92 WHIP), while many of his Statcast metrics were in the 95th percentile or better. It's clear his future is as a reliever. Read Past Outlooks
Being considered by some as starter
Hoffman is being pursued by some teams in free agency as a starting pitcher, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Hoffman, who turns 32 in January, broke out as a full-time reliever the last two seasons with the Phillies, posting a 2.28 ERA and 158:35 K:BB over 118.2 regular-season innings. He does have plenty of past experience as a starter and throws four pitches, so some clubs are intrigued by the possibility of giving him another shot to start. It's not clear what Hoffman's preference is -- or if he has one -- but he should be able to land a nice multi-year contract either way.

The 30-year-old had a 3.83 ERA and 45:23 K:BB over 44.2 innings last season but missed the second half with forearm and elbow issues. The right-hander's contract minor-league contract with the Twins includes opt outs on March 28, May 15, and June 15, so he'll have options if the Twins don't add him to the big-league roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wants to re-sign with Philly
Hoffman hasn't been shy this season about expressing his desire to re-sign with the Phillies, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander established himself as an elite high-leverage reliever over the past two seasons with 11 saves, 32 holds and a 2.28 ERA in 122 regular-season appearances, and he's now headed to the open market. Hoffman and Carlos Estevez are both headed to free agency, and re-signing one or both of them wouldn't be surprising despite their struggles against the Mets in the NLDS.
