2025 Fantasy Outlook
Springs, like a few Tampa Bay pitchers, was making his way back from 2023 surgery and the rustiness showed more with him than the likes of Shane Baz and Drew Rasmussen. That should not have been surprising since the changeup is Springs' signature pitch and that's a feel pitch which takes some time to fully rediscover after a major surgery. Righties did have a 44.2 percent whiff rate on the changeup, but also hit .333 off the offering, albeit with a .222 xBA. Springs' fastball and changeup are a symbiotic pair as the latter makes the former better, so the changeup struggles led to a decline in his fastball outcomes as well. Springs also introduced a cutter as the season went on, giving him at least four pitch types to throw both lefties and righties. Jeffrey is no Springs Chicken at 32, and has just once worked even more than 50 innings in a major-league season. He was dealt to the Athletics this offseason, so Springs should see a notable downgrade in home park factors while pitching in Sacramento relative to Tropicana Field. Read Past Outlooks
Gives up four earned runs in loss
Springs (1-1) took the loss against the Cubs on Wednesday. He gave up five runs (four earned) on five hits and four walks while striking out three across three innings.
ANALYSIS
Springs started out strong with two first-inning strikeouts, but things unravelled in the second frame when he gave up four runs, three of which came from a Seiya Suzuki home run. Springs needed 82 pitches to record just nine outs, which is a major step back from the six shutout frames he delivered in his season debut last week. The 32-year-old southpaw will look to get back in the win column in his next start, and he's lined up to face the Padres next week at home.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Springs was off to a fantastic start in 2023 with 24 strikeouts in 16 innings and one earned run off a solo homer until a precautionary removal of him from a start against Boston led to worse news that he had indeed torn his UCL. He had surgery on April 23rd, which all but rules him out of the first half of the 2024 season. Given the Rays conservative approach with pitchers coming back from injuries like this, take the under on whatever projection the marketplace is putting on his workload. Remember that the last thing that comes back for these pitchers is their command and feel for the baseball, two things that are critical to Springs's success given his lack of pure velocity and his dependency of his changeup. Keeper league managers can try to score a late bargain with him while reset league managers are wasting a draft pick because there are no guarantees Springs pitches effectively once he returns.

Drawing interest in trade talks
Teams around the league have expressed interest in trading for Springs ahead of winter meetings, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Springs made his way back from Tommy John surgery and started seven games for the Rays in 2024, but he was shut down in mid-September due to elbow fatigue. He cruised to a solid 3.27 ERA through 33.0 innings and showed plenty of promise despite a shortened campaign. Springs should be a full go for 2025, whether that's with Tampa Bay or elsewhere.
