2025 Fantasy Outlook

Diaz had a decent first half for Colorado last season, slashing .286/.330/.403 with 30 RBI over 67 games, but he batted just .196 without a long ball over 17 contests following the All-Star break and was ultimately released. The veteran backstop resurfaced with San Diego and got some run in September, but he hit just .191 with one homer over 24 plate appearances. Diaz is still a pretty good defender behind the plate, but in recent years he's been below average in virtually every offensive metric aside from strikeout rate (which was a palatable 19.7% last season). Now that he's out of Colorado, even double-digit homers could be hard for him to reach, and that would necessitate Diaz having regular playing time, which isn't likely regardless of where he ends up. He re-signed with the Padres on a one-year contract, setting him up to split time behind the plate with Luis Campusano. Since Campusano has yet to establish himself as a reliable big-league catcher, it's a solid landing spot for Diaz in terms of potential playing time, though he still has a limited ceiling even with decent volume.
