2025 Fantasy Outlook
The production simply hasn't approached the hype with Salas, whose age and pedigree are the main selling points for continuing to value him in dynasty leagues. He was the biggest international name to sign as a teenager on Jan. 15, 2023, although Felnin Celesten and Sebastian Walcott had more relevant fantasy tools from that class. Salas also won't turn 19 until June and already has 129 games under his belt above Single-A, plus another 23 games in the Arizona Fall League in 2024. He has a career .589 OPS at High-A and a .517 OPS in nine games at Double-A, while his .228/.327/.424 slash line with four home runs in the AFL was easily his best run since he impressed at Single-A in 2023. Salas could be trending towards a Matt Wieters type of prime, where he hits 20-plus home runs without killing your batting average and potentially helping your on-base percentage, but that's probably the best realistic outcome at this point, and it's not production you should expect in 2025 or 2026.
