Tyler O'Neill Not Given Qualifying Offer, Headed To Free Agency
7 mins agoAccording to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Boston Red Sox did not give outfielder Tyler O'Neill a qualifying offer, making him a free agent. O'Neill enjoyed a nice bounce-back campaign in last summer in Boston as he posted a solid .241/.336/.511 slash line with 31 home runs, 61 RBI, and four stolen bases. In the previous two campaigns, O'Neill hit just 23 long balls with a .229 AVG. Even though the 29-year-old missed time with numerous injuries this season, he was an elite fantasy contributor from a power perspective. Under the hood, his 17.3% barrel rate and 48.8% hard-hit rate suggest his power numbers should remain elite in 2025 if he can stay on the field. The former third-round pick remains a safe bet for power upside but will always be a risky asset, given his lengthy injury history.
