2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Myers was limited to 77 games in 2022 due to a knee injury, and the Padres unsurprisingly declined his $20 million club option for 2023. He posted a .261/.315/.398 slash line with seven home runs and 41 RBI, and it's the first time since 2014, and only the second time in his big-league career, that he slugged below .400. Myers split his playing time between first base, the corner outfield and designated hitter last season, and he was a bit better defensively after he struggled over the past few years. Now entering his age-33 campaign, Myers still has a slightly-above-average bat and could be a decent depth fantasy option, especially since he signed with the Reds and should have an everyday spot in the lineup and will play half his games at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.

Inks deal with Cincinnati
Myers agreed to a one-year, $7.5 million contract with the Reds on Thursday, which includes a mutual option for 2024, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
San Diego declined Myers' $20 million club option for 2023 at the end of the season, and he'll continue his career in Cincinnati. The 32-year-old was limited to 77 games last season due to a knee injury and had a .261/.315/.398 slash line. He split most of his playing time between right field and first base last year, but he'll likely work mostly in the outfield for the Reds with Joey Votto at first base.

Stat Review
How does Wil Myers 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.

Myers now has nine seasons of major-league experience, and has been an above-average offensive player in seven of the nine seasons. Last season's numbers look disappointing compared to his peak Padres years, yet his 109 wRC+ tell us his production was nine percent better than the league average. Myers continues to be accepting of his walks and his strikeout rate has mostly stabilized to something slightly worse than the league average after the 2019 outlier year. Speaking of outliers, his 2020 efforts gave us false hope for 2021 -- he hit just two more homers in nearly 300 more plate appearances. His Statcast profile paints a rather grim backdrop to what is the final guaranteed year of Myers' contract. He could play motivated for the club to pick up his option, but more than likely Myers will leave San Diego by the end of next year, one way or another. He need his chances to compile to provide real fantasy value.
