2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rodriguez signed a five-year, $32 million contract with Toronto just before the 2024 season and spent all but 20.1 innings pitching with the big league club as a starter. Rodriguez had dominant seasons as a reliever in Japan in 2021 and 2022, but left the league just before the 2023 season in search of a major league deal. Toronto eventually gave him a deal, but it costs him any organized baseball in 2023 almost as if we were working under the old redshirt transfer rules of college. Rodriguez showed the rust of the long layoff as his command was inconsistent throughout the season. He had just one start with four or more walks and just one other in which he allowed more than one home run in a start and managed to hold opposing hitters to a .228 average on the season. Rodriguez utilized five different pitches over the course of the season highlighted by a big fastball and a whiffy slider. He has not worked more than 100 innings in a season since 2018, so it is difficult to look at how Rodriguez's body would hold up to starting over the course of a full season. Simply put, this is some intriguing upside if the command struggles of 2024 were indeed related to his layoff. Read Past Outlooks
