Francisco Alvarez

Francisco Alvarez and the New York Mets agreed on a one-year, $2.4 million contract to avoid arbitration.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarez battled through an injury-plagued 2025 season that saw him only appear in 76 games for the Mets. He still managed to hit .256 with 11 home runs and 32 RBI across 277 plate appearances. While the batting average may never be great, the power is certainly there as evidenced by his 25 home runs in 123 games for the Mets in 2023. He underwent thumb surgery early in the offseason and should be ready for Opening Day. If he stays healthy, a return to 25 home runs could definitely be in the cards for Alvarez.

Francisco Alvarez will have surgery in the coming days to repair the sprained UCL in his right thumb.

Fantasy Impact

Alvarez played through the injury throughout September. He should be fully healthy by spring training.

Francisco Alvarez went 1-for-2 in loss to the Cubs with a home run, two RBI, one run scored, and one walk.
