2025 Fantasy Outlook
Barnes spent the 2024 campaign in his usual backup role, though a couple stints on the IL due to a toe injury late in the season were partly responsible for the veteran catcher logging his fewest plate appearances (156) since 2016, with the exception of the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. While Barnes' .264 batting average was a nice increased after he batted just .180 the year prior, he produced very little power, finishing with just one home run and three doubles among his 37 hits. The Dodgers clearly value Barnes' work with the pitching staff, as the team exercised his one-year club option shortly after winning the World Series. He'll likely open 2024 as Will Smith's backup once again, though it's logical to wonder how much longer he'll have a roster spot reserved with Los Angeles having one of MLB's top catching prospects (Dalton Rushing) nearing readiness for the big leagues.
