Gurriel delivered a career-best 132 wRC+ in 2021, but he was unable to replicate that last season and had a .242/.288/.360 slash line. He had a career-high eight stolen bases, but he clubbed only eight home runs and failed to provide much production otherwise for the Astros. He won a Gold Glove in 2021, but his defense also took a dive last year with minus-nine OAA. It's poor timing for the 38-year-old first baseman, who is now on the open market. Gurriel may have a difficult time finding an everyday role in free agency, and it's unclear whether he'll seriously consider retirement if his options are limited.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing interest for 2024
Gurriel has received interest from major-league teams this offseason and expects to make a decision on where to sign soon, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gurriel will turn 40 in June and slashed just .245/.304/.359 last season with the Marlins, so he seems likely to have to settle for a minor-league contract for the second offseason in a row. The first baseman won a batting title and a Gold Glove in 2021 but has just a .655 OPS since the start of the 2022 campaign.
