2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez delivered career bests in ERA (3.30) and WHIP (1.15) to go along with a 143:48 K:BB over 152 innings during 2023, so it was hardly a surprise he opted out of the remaining three years and $49 million of his contract with the Tigers. It was a surprise, however, when the left-hander utilized his no-trade clause to prevent a deal to the contending Dodgers. He certainly pitched well but may have had some fortunate results with a 4.04 xERA, 4.06 xFIP and career-worst 37.0 percent hard-hit rate. Rodriguez also missed five weeks with a finger injury and ended up making 43 starts in his two years with Detroit. His 203.1 frames in 2019 is the only time he's topped 160 innings during his eight MLB seasons, so a heavy workload shouldn't be the expectation heading into his age-31 campaign. He secured a four-year, $80 million deal with the Diamondbacks, which means a less advantageous home park than in Detroit but a more helpful defense behind him. Read Past Outlooks

Throws sim game
Rodriguez (shoulder) threw two innings in a simulated game Friday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez began throwing off a mound July 9, and Friday marks the first time he has pitched in a simulated game. He's slated to throw another bullpen session Monday and could be closing in on a rehab assignment, though the Diamondbacks have yet to confirm any plans for a stint in the minors.

Rodriguez had a rather interesting debut sesaon in Detroit as one of their big ticket free agents which failed to delivered expected outcomes. Not only did Rodriguez struggle with an early injury, he then needed an extended mental timeout and went AWOL from the club until finally returning to the mound in late August. He pitched about as well as one would expect someone in his headspace to do after his return but it was a second consecutive disappointing seasons after great 2019 performance and missing the 2020 season with myocarditis. His stuff these days looks more like a mid-rotation innings eater yet Rodriguez has but one season above 160 innings of work. Detroit wants him, nee, needs him to work 180+ innings but your fantasy squad should look to mix and match his starts unless Rodriguez comes out of the gate showing better stuff than he did in 2022. Detroit had him throwing more cutters and sinkers than he did with Boston while phasing out the slider and cutting back on his changeup. The latter point may be an anomaly as the pitch was an effective one for him in earlier seasons but was impacted by the 2020 layoff.

Reds, D-Backs named finalists
The Reds and Diamondbacks are the two finalists to land Rodriguez in free agency, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rodriguez was previously being attached to the Mets and Red Sox heading into the Winter Meetings, but it seems neither team will have a shot at landing the left-hander. Rodriguez has discussed a multi-year deal with Arizona and likely has received a similar offer from Cincinnati. He will likely make a decision on which team to join in the next couple of days.
