2024 Fantasy Outlook
De Los Santos has been mediocre in 123 games at Double-A (.253/.300/.426) while being extremely young for the level. The power-hitting corner infielder generates impressive exit velocities and hit 20 homers in 113 games last season, but his 0.20 BB/K portends significant struggles at the highest level. His readiness will be tested after Cleveland selected him in the Rule 5 draft and stole him from Arizona, at least for now. If he does not look capable in spring training of providing any value at the big-league level, the Guardians would likely return him to Arizona, but they may be able to find a short-side platoon role for De Los Santos in 2024, and if they keep him on the active roster all season they can send him back to the minors in 2025. In addition to an over-aggressive approach, De Los Santos has been a notoriously poor defender to date, which is partly why Arizona didn't protect him from the Rule 5 draft. He doesn't turn 21 until June and would likely be limited to designated hitter and some first base work if he spends the year on Cleveland's active roster. Read Past Outlooks
Given 40-man roster spot
The Marlins selected De Los Santos' contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
De Los Santos finished the 2024 season with 40 home runs and 120 RBI between the Double-A and Triple-A levels. He got his strikeout rate down to 24.7 percent overall on the season, but it came in at 28.4 percent with Jacksonville after he landed there via trade. While there are swing-and-miss concerns, De Los Santos won't turn 22 until June and has immense raw power. He could get a shot with the Marlins at some point in 2025.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The pros and cons with De Los Santos are pretty straightforward. Nobody his age can hit the ball harder, and few players his age (doesn't turn 20 until June) have played at Double-A or the Arizona Fall League. On the flip side, he might be on track to be a shorter (6-foot-1) Miguel Sano. Defensively, De Los Santos is limited to being a bad first baseman or a designated hitter. His pitch recognition is poor and ability to make contact is fringe-average. If he is given a pitch to drive, he can hit it a really long way, but pitchers with craft and an ability to command offspeed pitches will eat him up. There's a decent case to be made for cashing him out in dynasty leagues this offseason, as it's very possible he scuffles in a return trip to Double-A and loses most of his value.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Promotion on horizon?
Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said Wednesday that he'll be "looking for opportunities" to call up De Los Santos if his "defense comes along," reports Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old was selected by Cleveland in the Rule 5 Draft during the offseason but was returned to Arizona at the end of spring training. De Los Santos began the campaign with Double-A Amarillo and posted a 1.122 OPS in 38 contests before being promoted to Triple-A Reno. He has continued to hit well for Reno with 12 homers and a .296/.339/.611 slash line in 41 games, but his poor defense remains a point of concern. The Diamondbacks don't have a clear opening at designated hitter with Joc Pederson still hitting well against right-handed pitching, and De Los Santos may have trouble forcing his way onto the big-league roster as a bench piece that's a defensive liability.
