2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acuna was pretty clearly blocked long term in Texas, so a trade was welcomed, but things are still somewhat crowded long term in New York, where he was sent at the deadline for Max Scherzer straight up. One of Ronald Acuna's younger brothers, Luisangel is a 5-foot-8 middle infielder whose game is closer to that of Tommy Edman's than his big brother. His bloodlines are most evident in his bat speed and athleticism, but he needs all of that bat speed to generate his potential 10-15 homer power. He swiped 57 bases on 67 attempts in 121 games at Double-A, and that speed will be the ticket to his long-term fantasy relevance. Acuna was much better (.315/.377/.453, .138 ISO) before the trade than he was after it (.243/.317/.304, .061 ISO), but a lot of that difference can be attributed to a 93-point BABIP dip (.381 to .288) and him moving from the neutral park in Frisco to one of the worst Double-A parks for power in Binghamton. Acuna, who is on the 40-man roster, could be competing long term with Ronny Mauricio and Jett Williams for playing time, although Mauricio's knee surgery and Williams' inexperience make Acuna the best bet for 2024.
