Wilyer Abreu is a fantasy baseball trade target for Week 9 (2025). Is Wilyer Abreu a fantasy baseball buy or sell? Read the trade analysis and advice.
BALLER MOVE: Buy Wilyer Abreu
ANALYSIS: Boston Red Sox outfielder Wilyer Abreu got off to a strong start at the plate. The 25-year-old hit .295 with six home runs, six doubles, 21 RBI, and four stolen bases in his first 30 games this season. However, Abreu has gone into a bit of a slump in recent weeks, hitting just .215 with 17 strikeouts across 25 games in May.
This rough stretch has made some fantasy managers impatient with the Red Sox outfielder. If someone in your league is looking to sell him, see what it would take to acquire him. Better offensive days are ahead for Abreu, and there are some things to be encouraged by during this slump. In his last nine games, Abreu has hit two home runs.
Wilyer Abreu has 11 HR in his first 41 games of the season. He's 25 years old.

With a .566 expected slugging, 90.8 average exit velocity, 13.8% barrel rate, and 20.2% whiff rate this season, Abreu's bat should heat up again very soon. That makes him the perfect buy-low target heading into Week 9 of the fantasy baseball season.
His metrics suggest that his recent slump won't last much longer, and he already has 13 home runs on the season. It's very possible that Abreu hits 25 home runs and steals double-digit bases in 2025.
