Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not getting full pay
Bickford won't receive his full $900,000 salary for 2024 after being released by the Mets on Tuesday since he won that figure through an arbitration case, reports Tim Britton of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander will still receive $217,000 in termination pay, but his salary for the year otherwise isn't guaranteed. Bickford had a 2.81 ERA in 57 outings for the Dodgers in 2021, but he has a 4.84 ERA in 128.1 frames over the past two seasons. The 28-year-old should be able to find a job elsewhere but will likely need to settle for a minor-league deal.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2017
2016
Bickford is one of the many relievers we now see in baseball that takes two pitches, throws them with high effort and fills a niche in a club's bullpen. In Bickford's case, his job is to come in to face righties while slinging fastballs and sliders their way in short spurts. He worked fewer innings than games played, but picked up a handful of decisions in leverage situations with solid ratios. The repertoire pretty much limits him to a righty specialist insomuch as any reliever can be a specialist with the three-batter minimum rule these days. He has little fantasy relevance unless several dominoes in front of him fall.
