10 months agoSan Diego Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts will play second base this year, according to manager Mike Shildt. Ha-Seong Kim will flip with Bogaerts and will be the team's starting shortstop after his breakout 2023 campaign. Shildt hinted at a possible position change for Bogaerts earlier this month, and now it's official. The 31-year-old isn't as good of a defender as Kim is on the infield, so it makes sense, but it makes Bogaerts' 11-year, $280 million contract look even worse. Bogaerts got off to a strong start offensively in his first year in SD in 2023, but he struggled in the summer months and ultimately finished with a decent .244/.308/.358 slash line with 19 home runs, 58 RBI, a career-high 19 steals and 83 runs. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much more from him moving forward, although he'll be a bit more attractive now that he'll be gaining second-base eligibility in 2024.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
