2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Thompson looked to be headed toward a forgettable 2022 campaign when he went 1-for-14 in an early-season stint with the Padres and was consequently designated for assignment. He latched on with the Tigers in May but didn't see any additional MLB action until the Dodgers traded for him in June. The acquisition proved to be fruitful for Los Angeles, as Thompson clubbed 13 homers, slashed .268/.364/.537 and posted a 153 wRC+ over 75 regular-season games with the club. The Dodgers were impressed enough with Thompson to include him in the starting lineup for all four of their playoff games, though he went just 2-for-13 with six strikeouts and three walks. Despite his breakthrough half-season, it's unlikely that Thompson is lined up to become a true late-career Cinderella story given his flaws at the plate -- most glaringly, he registered a 36.5 percent strikeout rate and hit just .174 against southpaws on the campaign. There's a good chance he'll remain with Los Angeles in 2023, but given his lack of sustained MLB success, Thompson's most likely fit is as a fourth outfielder and occasional DH. Read Past Outlooks

Inks one-year deal
Thompson and the Dodgers agreed on a one-year, $1.45 million contract Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
The outfielder compiled a .256 average with 13 homers, 41 RBI, 36 runs and four stolen bases over 219 at-bats with the Padres and Dodgers in 2022. Thompson has a clear path to a starting spot in the Dodgers' outfield based on the current depth chart, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the team add a higher-profile option before Opening Day and bump him to the bench.

How does Trayce Thompson 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.

This is how Thompson's season started: designated for assignment by the Dodgers in late March, claimed by the Yankees, claimed by Oakland, DFA'd by Oakland, traded to the White Sox. That all took place in a little over three weeks. The brother of Golden State Warriors shooting guard Klay Thompson, Trayce stayed put on the South Side for a while but struggled to a negative-4 wRC+ (yes, negative) and was designated for assignment yet again in late June. He did not return to the major leagues after that. Thompson has flashed exciting tools in the past, but he suffered two back fractures in 2016 and his career has never recovered. At this point, it doesn't look like Thompson will ever make enough contact to shed the Quad-A label (41.8 K% in 2017, 36.5% last season). He will at least get a look with the Indians as a non-roster invitee to spring training.
