Mickey Moniak Avoids Arbitration With Rockies
The Colorado Rockies and outfielder Mickey Moniak have agreed to a one-year, $4 million contract to avoid arbitration. The former first overall pick enjoyed a resurgent campaign in Colorado last summer and appears slated for an everyday role once again in 2026. Last summer, through 135 games with the Rockies, Moniak posted a .270/.306/.518 slash line with 20 doubles, 24 home runs, and nine stolen bases. Under the hood, the 26-year-old generated a solid .339 xwOBA with an elite .491 xSLG. However, his value does take a hit in points leagues, given the high 23.9% K% and 28.2% whiff rate he held. Last season, Moniak operated as the primary leadoff man against right-handed pitching but was mostly kept on the bench when facing a southpaw. Moniak is an intriguing late-round pick in five-outfielder formats when looking for a depth option with some power upside.
