2026 Fantasy Outlook
Gonzalez's breakout 123 wRC+ was no fluke, backed by elite batted-ball data highlighted by a 99th percentile hard-hit rate. He crushed lefties to the tune of a .331/.378/.600 line, though he was still serviceable against right-handers, posting a .286/.318/.400 mark while stepping in for injured teammates at both first and second base. If he can rein in his 13th percentile chase rate, there may even be another level to his production. Regression is likely after last year's surge, but the drop-off shouldn't be steep. With eligibility at both middle and corner infield, Gonzalez profiles as a strong reserve option and a worthwhile active play whenever he's getting steady at-bats. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Red Sox in January of 2026.
Settles at $1.6 million
Gonzalez agreed to a one-year, $1.6 million contract with the Red Sox on Thursday to avoid arbitration, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
After enjoying a breakout season in his first year with the Red Sox in 2024, Gonzalez continued to improve in '25 and finished the regular season with a .305/.343/.483 slashline alongside nine homers, 53 RBI, 47 runs scored and six steals across 341 plate appearances. He'll receive an $826,000 raise as a reward for his continued progression and enters 2026 as the frontrunner for regular reps at second base.

Stat Review
How does Romy Gonzalez 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Gonzalez visited the IL twice in the first half of the 2024 season, first for a wrist issue and then for a sore hamstring. When healthy, he served as the right-handed part of a platoon, appearing everywhere but catcher. He usually hits left-handers better than righties and did so again last season. For the first time, well over half of Gonzalez's plate appearances were versus left-handers, fueling a 97 wRC+, by far a career high. Gonzalez hits the ball hard, but he's an extreme groundball hitter (career 54.4 percent rate) with a high strikeout rate (26.9 percent last season). A low fly-ball rate caps power while the punch-outs hurt his batting average. He sports 90th percentile sprint speed, helping him swipe 18 bases in 21 tries over the past two seasons. Gonzalez' versatile glove work will keep him employed. Fantasy-wise, he's best-suited for daily leagues when he's facing a southpaw.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stint on injured list likely
The Red Sox are expected to place either Gonzalez or Rafael Devers on the injured list to make room on the roster for Bobby Dalbec, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
Analysis
Cotillo hears that Gonzalez, who is battling a left wrist sprain, is the more likely IL move of the two, but Devers is also a possibility due to a left shoulder issue. Gonzalez was just recalled earlier this week and suffered the injury Wednesday in his first start. If he does go on the IL, it's expected to be a relatively brief absence.
