BALLER MOVE: Sell Tyler Nevin
ANALYSIS: Nevin has bounced around the majors. Since he made his debut in 2021, he has played on three different teams. He only appeared in 41 games for the Tigers last year and has never played in more than 58 games in the majors during a single season. Part of the reason why he has been unable to latch on with a team is likely his career .660 OPS.
As underwhelming as Nevin had been previously in his career, he has stepped up for the Athletics to bat .289 with a .807 OPS entering Monday. He has a .359 wOBA and a modest 20.6 percent strikeout rate. His four home runs also match his total from the last two seasons combined.

Even with his hot start, Nevin only has a .156 ISO. He didn’t hit for a lot of power during his time in the minors and he has a career .225 batting average in the majors. The Athletics have been a pleasant surprise in the early going and Nevin has contributed to their success. However, his batting average is highly unlikely to hold up throughout the season.
