Dallas Keuchel

Keuchel moves from the Braves to the White Sox, which, on the surface, seems like a negative move given the change in league and home park. But, he'll be paired with Yasmani Grandal, one of the best framing catchers in all of baseball, and that's a huge boon to a pitcher like Keuchel who relies on movement and called strikes as much as any pitcher. In addition, other than the Twins, the lineups in the AL Central are hardly imposing. Keuchel is more of a matchup-based starter at this point in his career anyway, and fantasy owners should still be able to pick and choose when to deploy him.

Dallas Keuchel agrees to deal with White Sox

Dallas Keuchel and the White Sox have come to an agreement. Terms of the agreement are not official yet, but sources say the deal is in three-year, $54M to $56M range.

Fantasy Impact

Keuchel finished 2019 with a 3.75 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. Those numbers combined with his 4.06 xFIP and 4.39 SIERA puts him in the middle-to-low tier starting fantasy pitchers at best for 2020. With a low K/9 rate and his new sub .500 team, he won't offer much to fantasy owners besides a sub 4.00 ERA.
