2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Diamondbacks traded for Gurriel to provide some right-handed thump to a predominantly left-handed outfield. He delivered with a career-high 24 homers, but his 106 wRC+ was its lowest since his rookie campaign. Gurriel split his time between left field and designated hitter, where he established new career highs with 145 games and 592 plate appearances. Despite his home run total, moving from Rogers Center to Chase Field suppressed Gurriel's power, but more importantly he was snake bit on ground ball BABIP as his .202 is well below the .265 mark he recorded coming into the season. Gurriel's defense in left field was stellar with 14 defensive runs saved in only 95 games. His arm and range rated as above average. This should help him maintain regular playing time and not fall back into the short side of a platoon. Gurriel has limited upside, but his floor offers stability to a mixed-league outfield.

ANALYSIS
Gurriel has been eased back in from a calf strain, as he'll now take a seat for the second time in four games since being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday. Pavin Smith will take over in left field in place of Gurriel, who has gone 3-for-8 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and two runs in his first two starts following his activation.

Gurriel maintained a high batting average and on base rate, but his power fell to a career low. At the end of the season, it was revealed he had been playing with a wrist issue, which required surgery in the offseason. Gurriel also missed most of September with a sore hamstring. he chased less, resulting in a personal-low strikeout rate. Gurriel's batted ball distribution was typical, but he hit grounders harder while losing exit velocity on fly balls, dropping his HR/FB to a meager 4.2%. Gurriel hit a career-high 32 doubles, so he was more useful in points-leagues. Gurriel is slated to be healthy in the spring and should remain in left field after being traded to the Diamondbacks, though he'll need to compete for playing time with the club's young plethora of outfielders. It's unclear how much of his drop in homers was related to playing with a sore wrist. With no steals and possibly waning power, Gurriel has slipped to a back-end outfielder in mixed leagues, best used as a batting average stabilizer, especially with his chances for runs and RBI likely to diminish in a weaker Arizona lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ineligible for qualifying offer
Gurriel's contract prohibits the Diamondbacks from making him a qualifying offer, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Arizona might have considered extending a $20.5 million qualifying offer after Gurriel made his first All-Star team in 2023, and it's possible the 30-year-old could have accepted. However, evidently the language in his current deal makes it a moot point. The news should enhance Gurriel's appeal on the free-agent market since he won't be attached to draft-pick compensation.
