2024 Fantasy Outlook
We are not sure which is the bigger surprise with Siri: the fact he stole fewer bases in 2023 with the new rules and more playing time than 2022 or his final homer total this past season. The Rays acquired Siri to be the replacement for Kiermaier's defense, and he mostly held up that part of the bargain. What they didn't know they were getting was someone who could hit 25 homers in a tougher home park than he had previously played in. Siri strikes out with the best of them on an annual basis with both whiff rates and strikeout rates in the bottom 10th percentile last season. He doubles down on that with an anemic walk rate which makes him a problem in both batting average as well as OBP leagues. Through two full seasons at the big league level, he has hit .205 on fastballs with a 33% whiff rate on those pitches and that is how the league will continue to pitch him. This is an 8th or 9th place hitter whose defense keeps him in the lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Heading to National League
Siri was traded from the Rays to the Mets on Tuesday in exchange for Eric Orze, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Siri is eligible for arbitration and the Rays may have been on the fence about paying him coming off of a year where he hit .187 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate. He turned 29 in July and was worth 2.6 fWAR as recently as 2023, so the Mets will bring him in to potentially take over center field duties with Harrison Bader a free agent.

Siri had a .542 OPS in 48 games for the Astros before he was traded to the Rays at the trade deadline, and he worked as Tampa Bay's primary center fielder the rest of the way. He had a .241/.292/.367 slash line with four home runs and eight steals in 56 games for the Rays and could open 2023 as the Opening Day starter in center fielder. Siri had a 33.2 percent strikeout rate between Houston and Tampa Bay last season, as he's been unable to shed the swing-and-miss issues he showed in the upper minors. The Rays have moved on from Kevin Kiermaier, but the team may not be contest with Siri in center field for long, especially if his strikeout rate remains untenable.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be seizing starting role
Siri has a .317/.349/.500 slash line in 63 plate appearances over his last 18 games.
ANALYSIS
Siri got off to a terrible start at the plate this season while with the Astros and had a .170/.231/.289 line as late as Aug. 10. He's caught fire with the Rays though, and his batting average has crept over the Mendoza line to .210. Even during his recent hot streak, the 27-year-old has struck out at a high rate, fanning in 30.2 percent of his plate appearances, a slight decline from his 34.8 percent rate for the season. He's started 10 of the last 11 games for Tampa Bay and if his offensive production continues to catch up to his defensive ability, he'll likely be the team's everyday center fielder the rest of the way in 2022.
