Fantasy Impact:
Still only 24, Luciano was regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball. However, the utilityman appeared in 41 games between 2023 and 2024 with San Francisco and batted .217 in 126 plate appearances, striking out 45 times. Luciano does have some pop in his bat as he belted a career-high 23 home runs last season with Triple-A Sacramento. This is a low-risk, high-reward signing for the Yankees and, perhaps, a change of scenery will spark Luciano's once-promising career.
