The Cincinnati Reds have claimed outfielder Bubba Thompson off waivers.
Fantasy Impact
Thompson has been on the move all offseason long, having been claimed now twice by the Reds this offseason, among others. The 25-year-old appeared in 37 games with the Rangers in 2023 and hit just .70 with four stolen bases across 60 trips to the plate. He also stole 27 bases across just 65 games at the Triple-A level a season ago.
The Minnesota Twins have designated outfielder Bubba Thompson for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
There hasn't been a player whose name has hit the transaction log more this winter than Thompson as he has gone from the Rangers to the Royals to the Reds to the Yankees to the Twins and back into DFA limbo at this point. He appeared in 37 games with the Rangers in 2023 but hit just .170 despite stealing four bases in 60 trips to the plate.
The Minnesota Twins have claimed outfielder Bubba Thompson off waivers from the New York Yankees.
Fantasy Impact
It's been a busy offseason for Thompson who has gone from the Rangers to the Royals to the Reds to the Yankees and now to the Twins, all through waivers. The 25-year-old hit just .170 with four stolen bases across 37 games with the Rangers in the 2023 season with his speed counting as his No. 1 asset offensively.
Bubba Thompson had a quiet night at the plate, going 1-for-2 with a walk, but he did manage to steal his first base of the season and come around to score a run in the Rangers' 7-6 loss to the Reds on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
The 24-year-old outfielder has struggled at the plate so far this season, hitting just .185 with three doubles, one triple, and three RBI over 14 games. However, he has shown some speed on the basepaths in the past and now has one stolen base and five runs scored. His lack of production at the place ultimately makes his playing time a question mark going forward, however.
