2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sullivan showed some surprising power in Triple-A last season, belting 17 home runs over 450 plate appearances (his previous high mark was 13 long balls in 501 PAs in Single-A in 2016). He also got a couple short stints with the Padres but didn't produce much, going 3-for-16 with a homer across seven contests. Sullivan will be 31 years old at the start of the 2025 campaign and has just 40 big-league games under his belt, so there's not much of a fantasy angle here. The departure of Kyle Higashioka boosts Sullivan's chance of claiming San Diego's No. 2 backstop role, but the team signed veteran Martin Maldonado to a minor-league deal in mid-January, and the Padres may value his experience and clubhouse leadership over any offensive advantage Sullivan might offer.

Re-ups with Pirates
Sullivan signed a minor-league contract with the Pirates on Friday and has been assigned to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sullivan was DFA'd by the Pirates on Monday and eventually outrighted to Indianapolis. While he'll remain at Triple-A, Sullivan has been re-added to the 40-man roster.

Stat Review
How does Brett Sullivan compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
2017
Sullivan debuted in 2023 but failed to take advantage of San Diego's unsettled catching situation with a .528 OPS in 33 games, though he did hit .328 at Triple-A. Luis Campusano and Kyle Higashioka should enter spring training as the clear No. 1 and 2 options behind the plate, but Sullivan is a decent bet to receive another look at some point in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Call-up after Rodriguez injury?
Sullivan has a locker in the Pirates' clubhouse ahead of Saturday's game against the Phillies, Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Endy Rodriguez was removed from Friday's game against Philadelphia after tweaking his right elbow on a throw to second base. The presence of Sullivan's locker indicates that Rodriguez's injury is severe enough for him to warrant a stint on the injured list. Sullivan joined the Pirates organization in April after being traded by the Padres. He's played in 20 games for Triple-A Indianapolis and is slashing .211/.250/.324 with two steals, one home run and 10 RBI across 76 plate appearances. Sullivan would be slated to serve as the backup catcher behind Henry Davis if Rodriguez goes on the IL.
