Nick Allen

Allen was the Athletics' Opening Day shortstop last season, but he had lost that job by the end of April and wound up spending the bulk of the year in the minors. Among 455 players to accrue at least 100 plate appearances, Allen ranked 449th with just a .463 OPS. He has just a .537 OPS since debuting in 2022, and that's easily the lowest mark in baseball among players to tally 500 trips to the plate. Atlanta liked Allen's glove enough to trade for him over the winter, and he could open the season on its bench, but the chances of the 26-year-old making a fantasy impact are virtually nil.
