Dansby Swanson 2023 MLB Player Outlook: An All-Star Season Makes Bank
2 years agoAfter an impressive 2022 campaign, shortstop Dansby Swanson was only bound to receive a considerable sum of money. He settled with the the Chicago Cubs on a seven-year, $177 million deal which was his first jersey swap since going pros. Swanson had one of the best years in his career, and it doesn't go unnoticed that he played all 162 games. He compiled a career-high 6.4 WAR and blasted 25 HRs with a .776 OPS with the Braves in 2022. There's a good chance that Swanson's bat may not be as productive in 2023, but nobody expected Swanson to amass those numbers this past season. Steamer gives the 28-year-old a .316 WOBA with 22 home runs and a .309 OBP. Those numbers are not on par with last year's performance, but maybe a change of scenery will give him a boost. Maybe his 78.73 ADP will slip a little if everything goes right.
