Jesus Aguilar

Aguilar had a rough 2019 but was only given 314 at-bats. Now that he is with Miami, we can expect him to play near every game and if he does, those 35 homers fantasy owners saw in 2018 may return.

Fantasy Impact

Aguilar was recently designated for assignment by the Tampa Bay Rays. Passan notes that there is a clear path to playing time at first base on the Marlins, who return Garrett Cooper as the only real competition to Aguilar. Aguilar has more of a track record, though that's not saying much given Aguilar's inconsistency. For the Marlins, it seems worth the flyer in hopes Aguilar can return to 2018 form and become at least a trade chip for the rebuilding team. Aguilar's value would increase if given a regular role in 2020, but the situation couldn't be much worse playing in Miami with a weak offense surrounding him.
