2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mervis is still looking for his chance to truly break in with the Cubs, but the roster isn't currently set up in his favor. Last year, new acquisition Michael Busch settled in as the everyday first baseman and played well, so he figures to have a prominent role again in 2025. Cody Bellinger is also still around to play at first and in the outfield, while Isaac Paredes can cover first as well. Mervis only played at first or served as the DH last year in stints with Chicago and Triple-A Iowa. Unless the 26-year-old can take on some new positions, his path to regular playing time in the majors appears to be blocked. Mervis does still offer some power potential, as he blasted 22 home runs and sported a .932 OPS for Iowa in 2023 before taking a little step backward last year. There are a lot of slugging first basemen out there, however, so Mervis will have to really prove his worth in the minors if he wants to force the issue with the Cubs. For now, his fantasy appeal is limited in most formats. Read Past Outlooks
