| Gleyber Torres avoided arbitration with the New York Yankees, agreeing to a one-year, $9.95 million deal for the 2023 season. Chris Schommer Sun, Jan 29th | Seiya Suzuki has been diagnosed with a moderate left oblique strain. There is no timetable for a return to game action. Vince DiSilvio Tue, Feb 28th | |

| Notes | ||
| Gleyber Torres hit 24 HR in 2022, 15 more than he managed in 2021 while using an increased launch angle and a 10.7% barrel rate. He attempted five fewer steals, though this could correct with the new baserunning rules in 2023. Torres played a much better second base than shortstop, and he should have a lock on the position. Batting in the middle of that Yankee lineup should result in a 24/75/75 season, which will suffice as a 2B1 given how shallow the position is. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Seiya Suzuki arrived to MLB and kicked off his career in the States with a bang, hitting four HR and getting on base at a .398 clip. A finger injury derailed his season, but he finished the year strong. Suzuki struggled to adjust to the different levels of pitching, but he is a prime candidate for a bounceback season. His sophomore campaign should be a boon to fantasy teams, and he will come at a discount. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
