Lands with Detroit
Alvarez (elbow) signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Alvarez underwent Tommy John surgery in September and is expected to miss the entirety of the 2023 season. The left-hander will conduct his rehab under the supervision of the Tigers' staff, and he could remain in the organization in 2024 and challenge for a spot in the big-league bullpen. He appeared in 21 games for the Giants in the 2022 season, logging a 5.28 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 15.1 innings.

With the World Series in full swing, Clay Link offers a quick reminder of the top players set to become free agents this winter (by fantasy value).

Todd Zola ranks players by position for fantasy playoff leagues. Chicago's Jose Abreu is tough to beat at first base.

Home run prevention is one of Alvarez's best skill, but last season he took it to another level, surrendering just two long balls in 64.2 innings. Considering he fanned only 42, Alvarez needed to limit four-baggers. His 2.37 ERA and 1.11 WHIP seem impressive, but they were buoyed by a .251 BABIP, well below his career mark of .301. The Giants deployed Alvarez in lower leverage scenarios, collecting a modest eight holds for a club winning 107 games. Alvarez's groundball nature should minimize homers, but he'll be hard-pressed to repeat last season's exploits. Even so, the Giants picked up his 2022 club option. Without the likelihood of gathering saves, and a low strikeout rate, Alvarez is fantasy option in just the deepest of leagues, and even then, he's a huge ratio risk.
