2025 Fantasy Outlook
Caballero comes into the 2025 season with eligibility at three infield positions as well as the American League stolen base crown. That is roughly where the good news of his 2024 season ends. Caballero also led the league in caught stealings (16), putting his stolen-base success rate below the league average. Caballero was allowed to run in this manner because Tampa Bay was not a serious contender and the club was desperate to generate offense as the club fell back into its previous offensive patterns after a surprising 2023 season. Caballero's defense will keep him in the lineup, but the remainder of his skills, or lack thereof, will keep him in the bottom of the lineup. Caballero already saw his playing time getting squeezed later in the season once Junior Caminero was promoted with Christopher Morel and Brandon Lowe taking time away at second base. Caballero would ideally be a utility player as the club's offensive issues were exacerbated with him and his statistically-flawed twin Jose Siri in the same lineup. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rays in March of 2025.
On bench for second straight
Caballero is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.
Analysis
Though the Rays remain without Brandon Lowe (foot) and Ha-Seong Kim (back), manager Kevin Cash doesn't appear ready to commit to Caballero in an everyday role in the middle infield just yet. The American League's stolen-base leader will be on the bench for the second straight day Monday, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. The Rays should have a regular spot in the lineup available for the right-handed-hitting Caballero against left-handed pitching, but he may have to settle for more of a timeshare at second base with the lefty-hitting Tristan Gray when Tampa Bay faces righties.

Stat Review
How does Jose Caballero 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.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Mariners acquired Caballero from the Diamondbacks for Mike Leake in the summer of 2019, and he wasn't considered a top prospect coming into the 2023 season. He earned an early shot with Seattle, and while there were just as many ups as there were downs, he was able to remain a key cog on the bench for the majority of the year. He was much more effective against southpaws than he was right-handed pitching; finishing with an OPS of .758 against left-handed pitching compared to a .588 mark against righties. He showed virtually no power against hurlers from either side, however, and his on-base percentage was strongly boosted by being hit 17 times in 280 plate appearances. Even if Caballero is able to cement a spot in the Seattle lineup next summer, it's hard to imagine him helping fantasy rosters outside of the steals category in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Being eyed by contenders
Caballero is being monitored by several contending teams for a potential trade, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Analysis
The Rays are in the thick of the American League Wild Card race themselves, so they are unlikely to be outright sellers. However, a mix of buying and selling is certainly possible, and the versatile Caballero is a fit for just about any club. The 28-year-old super utility player is slashing .220/.314/.313 with 32 stolen bases this season and is under team control through 2029.
