Christopher Morel

Christopher Morel and the Miami Marlins have agreed to a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Morel provides the Marlins with versatility around the infield and outfield, having played every position in the big leagues except catcher and first base. However, he’s expected to open his Marlins tenure at first base, a position of need for the club. Last season, he posted a .219/.289/.396 slash line across 305 plate appearances. For fantasy purposes, he could become an intriguing option in deeper leagues thanks to his multi-position eligibility, especially if he settles in as the team’s everyday first baseman.

Morel was a key piece in the trade, sending Isaac Paredes to Chicago, but wasn't able to carve out an everyday role in Tampa Bay. He'll head to waivers and look for a fresh start elsewhere.
