2025 Fantasy Outlook
Tellez batted .219 with 35 home runs for the Brewers in 2022, but he's been unable to replicate that power the past two seasons. He latched on with the Pirates for 2024 and showed decent contact skills with a .243 average and 21.1 percent strikeout rate, but his hard-hit rate dropped to a career-worst 36.5 percent. Tellez's .680 OPS over the last two years will likely limit his options this winter, especially given his defensive deficiencies at first base. Read Past Outlooks

Agrees to MiLB deal with Texas
Tellez signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Tellez clubbed 11 home runs over 62 games with Seattle earlier this season, but he batted just .208 and posted a 26.5 percent strikeout rate. The veteran first baseman will now get a chance to try to make his way back to the majors with the Rangers, who represent his fourth organization over the past three years. Tellez could have a path to the big-league roster as a left-handed power bat given that Joc Pederson (hand) is likely still weeks away from a return.

Stat Review
How does Rowdy Tellez compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Tellez looked well on his way to a second straight 30-homer season in 2023 after putting eight over the boards in April. Things mostly went downhill after that, though. The 28-year-old missed six weeks of action with forearm and finger injuries and by the time he returned in late August Carlos Santana had taken over at first base for the Brewers, leaving Tellez to fight for starts at designated hitter. He did very little with the at-bats he was given down the stretch and Milwaukee chose to non-tender him this offseason. Tellez's hard-hit rate (40.4 percent) and barrel rate (8.7 percent) both dropped off significantly last season, while his strikeout rate (24.5 percent) went up. His age and track record suggest Tellez will bounce back to some degree in 2024, and he should get regular starts at least versus righties after signing with Pittsburgh over the winter.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Trade interest from Red Sox
Tellez could be a trade target for Boston this summer with Triston Casas out for the season after knee surgery, reports Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.
Analysis
The Red Sox need a serious boost at first base, and Tellez could be expendable for the Mariners after signing a minor-league contract in February. The veteran slugger is batting just .214 this season but has provided some pop with eight homers in 128 plate appearances. Seattle currently leads the AL West with a 30-24 record however, so the club could elect to retain Tellez if it maintains strong positioning for the playoffs.
