2025 Fantasy Outlook
Iglesias is what the kids might call a "personality hire." He's a great clubhouse presence and his music made him a fan favorite in Queens last season. His value is not limited to all that, as he can play strong infield defense and hit for a high average, albeit an empty one. Entering his age-35 season, Iglesias may be better known for his music career at this point, but he can still do enough well on the field to complement the intangibles. Many believed it was inevitable that Iglesias would end up back with the Mets in 2025, but he signed with the Padres in March. Eligibility at second base and third base is nice but not enough to push him to mixed-league viability. Read Past Outlooks

Heading to bench Monday
Iglesias is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
With starts in five of the previous six games, Iglesias has gained some stability in the San Diego lineup of late, but he's still not quite locked in as an everyday player. After posting a surprising .829 OPS with the Mets in 2024 -- his highest mark in any season of his career aside from the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign -- Iglesias has taken a big step back at the plate with San Diego this season, slashing just .226/.294/.258 with no home runs over 179 plate appearances. He'll need to improve his production to boost his case for earning steady playing time over the balance of the season.

Stat Review
How does Jose Iglesias 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.

The Angels acquired Iglesias last offseason and installed him as their everyday shortstop. He missed some time in May with a sore back, then had an IL visit for a hamstring issue. The Halos released Iglesias in early September. At the time he was slashing .259/.295/.375. Iglesias then returned to Boston, the team that drafted him in 2009. The Red Sox were shorthanded with a COVID-19 outbreak, so Iglesias took over as the regular second baseman. He stabilized the infield offensively and defensively, posting a .356/.406/.508 line down the stretch, remaining in the lineup during the club's late season playoff drive even though he wasn't eligible for the postseason. Iglesias showed enough with the bat to warrant another season as a regular in a middle infield spot. He's only eligible at shortstop in most fantasy leagues, which relegates him to mixed league reserve status, best suited for deeper formats, though the fact he signed with Colorado for 2022 could give him a slight bump thanks to Coors Field.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

No offer from Mets
Iglesias said in early May that he was "totally shocked" and "disappointed" that the Mets never made him an offer in free agency, reports Anthony Reiber of Newsday.
ANALYSIS
It was reported in February that New York had offered Iglesias a one-year contract, but it apparently wasn't a major-league deal. The utility infielder was a key piece for the Mets last season and had a .337/.381/.448 slash line in 85 regular-season games, but he's off to a slow start with the Padres in 2025 and has a .555 OPS through 101 plate appearances.
