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

Added to Opening Day roster
The Padres selected Iglesias' contract from Triple-A El Paso ahead of Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Iglesias went unused off the bench in the win, but he secured his spot on the Opening Day roster after beating out Tyler Wade for a utility infield job. The 34-year-old Iglesias may see occasional starts against left-handed pitching but may otherwise find consistent at-bats difficult to come by while second baseman Jake Cronenworth, third baseman Manny Machado and shortstop Xander Bogaerts are all healthy.

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

Still not fit with NYM
The Mets still believe Iglesias is "not a fit" for their roster even after Nick Madrigal's shoulder injury, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
ANALYSIS
Madrigal is slated for an extended absence after suffering a fractured shoulder, opening up a reserve infielder spot on the Mets' roster. However, it seems as though that spot will not be filled by Iglesias, who remains a free agent. Iglesias slashed .337/.381/.448 in 85 regular-season games for the Mets last season but has had trouble gaining traction on the market this offseason.
