Higgins signed a minor-league contract with the Reds on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 30-year-old had a .639 OPS in 83 games for the Cubs from 2021 through 2022 but spent all of 2023 at the Triple-A level between the Diamondbacks and Cubs organizations, posting an .857 OPS with 11 home runs. The Reds already appear set at catcher with Tyler Stephenson and Luke Maile, so Higgins will likely begin the 2024 season at Triple-A Louisville.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Higgins saw his most extended playing time at the MLB level in 2022 and responded with six home runs and a .693 OPS across 74 games. For a player who had just one hit in 23 at-bats a year earlier as a 28-year-old rookie, his production wasn't too bad. The Cubs apparently didn't see enough to keep him around, however, and he elected free agency after being removed from the 40-man roster. Higgins subsequently joined Arizona on a minor-league deal and should serve as organizational depth with Gabriel Moreno and Carson Kelly locked in as the clubs top catchers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing regularly
CChicago Cubs  AAA
August 27, 2022
Including Saturday's night game, Higgins has started 10 of the Cubs' last 12 games, primarily playing first base.
ANALYSIS
Higgins joined the Cubs in late May after starting the season at Triple-A Iowa and has appeared in 52 of the 87 contests with 33 starts. Ten of those starts have come in the last 12 games as Chicago has split time at first base between Higgins and Patrick Wisdom and given Higgins a couple of starts behind the plate. The 29-year-old hasn't made the most of his opportunity in that span, going 3-for-35 with 16 strikeouts and having his season OPS drop from .867 to .719. With Wisdom sidelined by a finger injury, Higgins should have an even clearer path to playing time in the near term.
