2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
The 8.3 percent walk rate Boyle tallied during a three-start audition with the Athletics in 2023, unsurprisingly, turned out to be a mirage. His walk rate in 2024 ballooned to 17.7 percent, which is actually better than his 18.8 percent mark from the minors. There's no disputing that Boyle's stuff pops. He averaged 97.7 mph with his four-seamer in 2024 and touched 100 mph with regularity. His slider can be devastating. Boyle is a two-pitch pitcher, though, and he's shown no ability at any level to find the strike zone enough for his plus stuff to matter. An offseason trade landed the righty in Tampa Bay, and if there's one team that might be able to squeeze the most out of Boyle, it's the Rays, who have essentially told their pitchers in recent years to just throw the ball down the middle and trust their stuff. Pitching coach Kyle Snyder also has a reputation for being able to get taller pitchers to refine their mechanics, him being 6-foot-8 himself (Boyle is 6-foot-7). It's a long shot that Boyle turns into anything, but he should at least be on fantasy radars. Read Past Outlooks
Dealt to TB in Springs trade
The Athletics traded Boyle, Jacob Watters, Will Simpson and a compensatory draft pick to the Rays on Saturday in exchange for Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After showing a lot of promise as a prospect in 2023, Boyle wasn't quite able to live up to the hype in '24, accumulating a 6.42 ERA and 1.72 WHIP over 47.2 innings while missing a month of the season with lower-back problems. He'll now attempt to turn things around following a change of scenery, though there's no guarantee the 25-year-old begins his Rays tenure in the big leagues.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 6-foot-7 Boyle has always had loud stuff, but he didn't have good enough command to even project as a ninth-inning arm, let alone a starter. The Reds traded him to Oakland at the deadline for Sam Moll, and Boyle surprisingly went on to not only reach the majors, but have some success. He was good one time through the lineup against the Padres and then logged wins against the Tigers and Angels in late-September. Boyle's fastball averaged 98 mph and he can touch 100 mph. His upper-80s slider gives him a second plus pitch, and he threw his third-pitch curveball 10 percent of the time. His command woes (17.8 BB% in the minors last year) could resurface in spring training and prohibit him from even making the rotation, but Boyle has much better pure stuff than most Athletics pitchers. His home park makes him a viable home streamer, but it will be difficult for him to log wins given his projected pitch inefficiency and lack of run support.
