2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vargas ran out of chances with the Dodgers and was traded to the White Sox at the deadline. It was a big change from one end of the competitive spectrum to the other and he might have been in shock if his numbers following the move are any indication (.104/.217/.170 in 157 plate appearances). He's still just 25 years old, but Vargas has lost whatever shine he had as a prospect. At least he maintained his patience amidst his struggles and continued to walk roughly 10 percent of the time last season. The White Sox are evaluating for the future and figure to give Vargas, who's out of minor-league options, another look at third base to see if there might be anything there. Even on the South Side, the leash probably won't be very long. Read Past Outlooks

Keeps swinging hot bat
Vargas went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Mets.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old gave the White Sox a quick lead with a two-run homer in the first-inning off Tylor Megill, but Jonathan Cannon squandered it in the bottom of the frame and Chicago never recovered. Vargas has banged out an extra-base hit in four straight games, and over his last 14 contests he's slashing a dazzling .310/.328/.724 with six doubles and six home runs among his 18 hits.

Vargas was a trendy pick in 2023 fantasy drafts as news emerged that he would be the Dodgers' Opening Day second baseman, but by mid-July he was back in the minors, where he remained for the remainder of the campaign. The heralded prospect struggled to a .195/.305/.367 slash line over 81 games, and the demotion came after he batted a paltry .079 (5-for-63) over his final 23 contests. Despite the disappointing stat line, there are reasons to believe that Vargas can succeed at the MLB level. He demonstrated refined plate discipline while up with the big club, posting a hearty 12.5 percent walk rate and a respectable 20.1 percent strikeout rate along with a borderline-elite 20.8 percent chase rate, per Statcast. Vargas didn't hit the ball hard consistently, but it's promising that of his 50 big-league hits last year, over half went for extra bases. Importantly, Vargas didn't sulk after being sent down, instead extending his run of minor-league success with an .886 OPS and 10 homers over 60 Triple-A contests. Los Angeles filled the void at second base following Vargas' demotion primarily by transitioning Mookie Betts from right field, and the experiment went smoothly enough that Betts will likely see considerable time at the keystone again in 2024. While that could limit Vargas' opportunities at the position, it may also mean that he gets reps in the corner outfield, where he logged some time down the stretch in the minors last season. It's unlikely that he'll be handed the keys to a starting spot out the gate as he was last year, but the Dodgers clearly still see Vargas as a part of their future, and he could earn a substantial role with a strong spring.
