Cristian Espinoza
30-Year-Old
Free Agent
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Espinoza was the only bright spot for San Jose in 2024. He scored four goals and added 14 assists in what was one of the worst offenses in the league. It speaks to Espinoza's talent that he was productive even in such a dreadful year. With wholesale changes throughout the starting XI, the future is uncertain for Espinoza, though it's unlikely anyone takes his set-piece role. If he gets a truly elite striker to finish his chances he could push for MVP candidacy, if not, he could be left making the most of a bad situation for yet another year.
Hits free agency
Espinoza is a free agent after his contract option wasn't picked up, per Tom Bogert of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Espinoza has surprisingly hit free agency after his option was picked up prior to the deadline. San Jose reportedly offered him a new contract, but he is going to test the market. Espinoza had four goals and eight assists last season, which was his worst season in the last four. Across his seven total campaigns with San Jose, Espinoza has never finished with fewer than 12 goal contributions.
