Nomar Mazara

Jon Heyman of the MLB Network is reporting that OF Nomar Mazara has agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million deal.

Fantasy Impact

Mazara was non-tendered by the White Sox in early December, but ends up in Detroit on a one-year deal. He battled an illness and struggled in 2020, slashing .228/.295/.294 with one homer for the White Sox in 2020. The 25-year-old OF is one year removed from batting .268 with 19 long balls and still has a lot of raw power. Mazara will compete for a spot in the outfield between Robbie Grossman, JaCoby Jones and Victor Reyes.

Mazara is still just 25 years old, but he had a wildly disappointing 2020 campaign. The outfielder hit .228 with one homer and a .589 OPS in 42 games. The White Sox also non-tendered LHP Carlos Rodon.
