2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending his entire career with the Mets, Nido was released in mid-June. He was contributing his usual stellar defense, but the club decided to move on from his career .564 OPS. The Cubs signed Nido, and he split time behind the plate until spraining his knee and undergoing a debridement procedure in late July. He returned in mid-August but was released two weeks later. The Tigers signed Nido to a minor-league deal in September, then reupped the contract in January. Nido will compete with Dillon Dingler and Brian Serven to serve as Jake Rogers' backup. If Nido comes away with the job, he's an option in deep two catcher leagues after posting above average Hard-Hit and Barrel rates last season. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Tomas Nido 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Nido is valued for his contributions behind the plate, namely his defense and pitch framing. If you're a Mets pitcher, Nido is neat-o, but he doesn't do enough with the bat to be worthy of consideration in standard mixed leagues. He's topped out at four home runs in a season and owns a career .323 SLG. He's struck out in roughly a quarter of his 744 career plate appearances in the majors, though to his credit he surged to a .280/.306/.449 line after the All-Star break last season. The Mets signed Omar Narvaez and have top prospect Francisco Alvarez waiting in the wings, leaving Nido as a placeholder keeping a seat warm. Nido can be considered viable in two-catcher NL-only formats, but that's only until Alvarez supplants him.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to lose roster spot?
Nido is expected to be designated for assignment Tuesday with Jake Rogers set to be activated from the injured list, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
Analysis
Nido was added to the big-league roster in early April after Rogers suffered the oblique injury, and the former performed well in 11 games with a .343/.361/.343 slash line in 37 plate appearances. The Tigers will presumably look to keep Nido in the organization, but he could receive some interest on waivers from teams in need of catching depth. Rogers is expected to serve as Detroit's secondary catcher with Dillon Dingler off to a hot start in 2025.
