Victor Robles May Have A Short Leash In 2024
10 months agoWashington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles, who played in just 36 games in 2023 due to a serious back injury, will enter spring training as the team's starting center fielder. However, he isn't very secure in his starting position and will have pressure on him to perform. There was speculation he'd be non-tendered in the offseason, but the Nats agreed to a $2.65 million deal with Robles to avoid arbitration. Washington's outfield-heavy farm system is about to produce several highly touted prospects, with James Wood, Dylan Crews and Robert Hassell III in the mix to make their debuts in 2024. Still only 26 and once a top prospect himself, Robles hasn't lived up to the hype, and his production has been on the decline since hitting 17 homers and stealing 28 bases in 2019. For fantasy purposes, Robles is merely a flier for his speed if he can stay healthy and hold off the youngsters this year.
